Yay for the beach!

Maleah loved the sand, sun and waves!

Books, books, books!

Since Maleah was about 7 months old, she has had her favorite books. First was That's Not My Princess, a touchy feely book. Since then - Are You My Mother?; Llama, Llama Red Pajama; Ten Little Ladybugs; Mommy Mine; I Love You As Much; Monster at the End of This Book; Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star (with ASL signs), etc. Well, tonight I was putting her to bed and we read Dr. Seuss' ABC boardbook. We have read it a couple of other times. Before we finished it, she pulled the book out of my hands and started flipping through the pages. She pointed at the doughnuts and duckdog and said some Maleah talk. I said, "I see doughnuts and a duckdog, that page must be 'D'" Then she said, "D, D, D" Then she turned to some other pages and said more Maleah talk and looked at me as if for a response. OOOO! The beginnings of early literacy - remembering repeating phrases! She is such a cutie.
