She is still not saying a ton. A whine and a point, and siblings or Mommy will get her what she wants. We need to work on making her speak more. She does babble quite a bit, so I’m not too worried yet. And her favorite words are NO!, shoes, and cheese. Lately she’s been […]

We just have a few weeks left on our Santa Barbara Natural History Museum membership, so we squeezed in a trip today with another homeschooling family. Janie has played around the back creek before, but today she was in her element, wading and splashing and playing in it for almost an hour. The other kids […]
