Henry's early walking and Liberty reading

Here is a random album with some of Henry's early walking attempts in late December/early Jan I think. He's gotten a lot more confident with walking in the past 3 weeks - but still doesn't do it full-time. Also, I ordered Liberty these level 2 BOB books that have a story SHE CAN READ by sounding out simple words...amazon delivered them, we opened them, and she just started reading one! It was pretty amazing! It's not a great video, but I still wanted to capture her first attempt at reading a book solo - a pretty special moment for a parent I guess.

Bedtime Reading with TRASH TRUCK

Here is a picture of Liberty, her Cheetah blankie, and her trash truck. Yes, the Gilbert City Recycle Truck driver stopped in front of our house and handed Liberty this foam trash truck toy - it pays to rush outside and wave to them!! They have always been so nice to us as we watch from the sidewalk, the driver always does extra CLAW movements for us before he picks up our bin:) and he honks the horn! To say the least, Liberty loves her trash truck and wanted to snuggle with it during this reading session:) She is also a huge Eric Carle fan all of the sudden - demanding MORE MORE MORE after every reading of Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See? and The Very Busy Spider.
