Growth & Development Tag

Corban loves music. He dances, sings, bounces, rhymes, drums, strums, and pounds. Although he still refers to it as "mimi" (why??), his love for this art continues to grow. We were so grateful to take part in a free Jesus-focused music class last fall to...

Jaeda's been waking up later and later (read 4:00am and 4:30am instead of 2 or 3am). She eats a full feeding and would sleep again until 9:30am if I let her, but I'm determined to keep her a 1st shift girl. So I wake her up at...

Corban's teething again (two-year-molars). I guess it'll end in time for him to lose these teeth and get more new ones! He keeps chewing and checking, chewing and checking. "I gotta new toof tumin!" Me and my girl. Love her (and for more than just those cheeks). She's waving, bouncing, dancing, giggling, rolling,...

Lots of projects in the works. Cutting, punching, slicing--getting our kid art projects ready for Saturday's Art Gala at CCC. Making a Pear-Almond Cake for the event as well. A cinnamon browned butter frosting. Fancy schmancy! Oh. And the same day happens to be our neighborhood spring picnic. My neighborhood gals came...

I love watching the kids grow. Do new things. Explore. Learn. Jaeda's learned to wave. Which is great and cute and funny. Except when she wakes herself up in the middle of the night and just wants someone to wave to. After hearing Corban recite an entire book to...

Jessica and Jaeda are sure friends. Only 3 months between them. Jaeda was completely smitten (with her zipper, that is). I'd say the feeling's mutual. Jaeda sat in the front of the cart for her first time!! Caption this picture: "Money, money, money!" (You think of a better caption?) Brother Corban riding on...

Jaeda's eating a little bit every day. Experimenting really. Test-tasting. There's no way she's old enough to be doing this. Riiiiight? Also. Notice the two blank spaces up there? Those containers are gone. Vanished...

These photos were not posed. I promise. Corban just decided that Jaeda should hold him this time. The little miss had her first bites of solids last night. Avocado (pureed with tomatoes, onions, and lime juice) So basically, she ate guacamole. Without the chips. She seemed to like it...

Aunt Abby made Corban this cardboard stove for Christmas. Cut, paint, complete with old cds for burners! They were supposed to put their arms around each other for a picture. Rapping seemed like more fun. Corban wanted to ride; Aiden wanted to walk. It's a give-give relationship. Corban loves his new-to-him...
