10 months old!!

Time has just flown by!! I cannot believe that in just a couple of months our Littlest will be ONE!! Why does time go by so fast?

This month's news:

  • Cut first two teeth!! Middle on bottom! Oh so cute!!

  • Is MUCH stronger on her legs! She is getting to a standing position from a sitting position like a pro!!

  • Shakes her head no when she does something she knows she's not suppose to or when we tell her no!

  • Eats table food! (You would never know this child just now cut those little teeth! She has some powerful gums!)

  • Says "hola" and waves. (She's been doing the latter for quite some time now.)

  • Gives wet and sloppy "besitos" (kisses).

  • Steals our hearts everyday!!

Helen Keller

We have been reading our Helen Keller biography for about a week now and are absolutely loving it!! She was an amazing woman with so much determination and faith in the fact that no matter what trials come into your life if you trust in the Lord and determine that with His help you can and will overcome the obstacles to be the best that you can be you will make a difference in the lives of others.

Today while at the library Biggest Sis found an animated version of the Helen Keller story and asked to check it out. We did and although it was good I was a little disappointed at the "broad overview" that it took. (I'm thankful that that's not the only exposure to Miss Keller's life that the children will recieve.)

Today while doing their chores they tried to walk around "blind" and accomplish things...they learned very quickly that Miss Keller's days were not easy ones.

I'm so thankful that this book was one of the options for our story time this year!! Once we are done we will check out the Helen Keller movie that stars Patty Duke. It's an older one that we have seen before but after reading about her life in both the fiction and non-fiction books I think we will enjoy it more!

We love books!!

Come to our house on any given day and you will see our library basket overflowing with books!! There are "bookshelves" or book baskets in every room in the house!! We LOVE books!! This is one area that I have tried hard to make routine in our home and although not always perfect we do have our noses in books quite often!

It never ceases to amaze me when one of our infants (they all did this) picks up a book from very early on and begins to look through it and "read" it. What an important habit to instill in these precious ones from the very beginning!

The Bible mentions many times over that the Lord had men write out His words in a "book," Jesus was THE storyteller! Books and storytelling are important to our Lord, they ought to; therefore; be important to us as well.

It is our duty as parents to introduce our children to THE Book first of all and then to good quality books. Books that edify and encourage our children to hold themselves to a higher standard. Books that teach them about the world we live in, about people from times gone by who trusted the Lord in a manner that allowed them to be used to create our great nation. Books about men and women of the faith who gave all to live for their Lord. Books that become a part of who they are. Books that will stay with them and will forever point them to the Cross.

Yes, we love books!


(Okay so maybe the Racecar Alphabet won't do much for him but hey, we all enjoy a not so good for us cookie every once in a while don't we?!)
