Your Baby Can Read

So I don't know if this program actually works because the boys don't really like to watch it that much. However it looks like Makaio learned to read without ever watching the videos all the way through.

Stay tuned for his complete review of the program!

Come Listen to a Prophet's Voice

I remember when I was growing up that the expectation was to listen when the prophet spoke. Since today is the first experience that the boys are having with general conference, they too were expected to listen as President Monson spoke to us. Here they are being as attentive as 10 month old boys can be.

They did manage to sit still until President Monson finished and then they went crazy. I think a big part of the problem was that it was time to eat and sitting still when you are hungry is very very hard!

Moving Along

I can't believe that 10 months ago I gave birth to these two sweet boys. The beginning of their lives was a roller-coaster that I will never willingly ride again. Yet the 6 months since they were released from the hospital seems like one big amusement park trip that I will never forget.

Makaio has turned into our little mover. He rolls and rolls until he can't roll any more and then he screams until I move him away from whatever obstacle stands in his way. Sometimes he rolls toward a toy that he wants and other times he rolls just to move around.

Here he is getting ready to pump some iron so that he can improve his rolling skills and maybe even take a stab at crawling. At 10 months he is 16.5 lbs and moving right along. He is finally on the regular growth chart and is just below the 10th percentile. He is such a happy baby and really only cries when he needs help or if he is hungry.

Kekoa is our social butterfly. I don't know how Sterling and I are going to deal with a social child but it will be interesting, I can guarantee that. He loves people! He would rather play with a human or a stuffed animal that has a face than any old toy. He loves to talk and is developing a talent for screaming as loud as his little vocal chords will allow.

He has lagged behind when it came to eating from a spoon but he leads the way with a sippie cup. I think he likes to chew on it more than drink from it but as long as he is getting some hydration I won't complain. At 10 months he is 15.5 lbs and growing every day. He is not quite big enough to be on the regular growth chart and falls into the 3rd percentile. However he looks healthy and he is healthy so we won't complain. He is such a happy baby and instead of crying when he is hungry he much prefers to scream.
