Reading

 We spend a ton of time reading at our house - we love our books! Maia has been into reading for a couple of months but JD has just picked up on it the past couple of weeks. They will both sit through a whole toddler book, then go pick another one and sometimes read 4 or 5 in a row before taking a break to play.

It's not uncommon to find Maia sitting in her favorite little rocking chair with a book or two. She also likes to look at books while we're walking in the stroller or in the car.

JD prefers to pull a whole stack of books off the shelf and then read them all simultaneously. :-) He has a couple of favorite books, one with a bee (which he picks out and says "bzzzzzz") and one with a lion that he roars at. Pretty cute.

They also have a book with words, the page with the girls waving they will wave and say "hi" to. When Maia sees the page with the eyes she will blink really hard. When they see the page with the nose they will both point to their own nose and say n. They also point to ears when they see that page and clap when they see the page with the kids clapping. They are definitely starting to understand things.....
