Diva
Hazel is starting to sing. Before she would just shout loudly but she’s starting to get a melody occasionally and making up her own songs. If I could only remember the words . . .

Firsts to remember
Sam is starting to wave his hands. I wouldn’t say he’s actually waving at you yet – but the motion is starting to happen.
Stairmaster
Little Sam climbed up the stairs today for the first time. Not once. Not twice. But on three separate occasions. Aline says that when he made it up to the top the first time – he giggled with glee.
- Those Darned Squirrels
Old Man Fookwire is a grump who only likes to paint pictures of birds that visit his backyard. The problem is, they fly south every winter, leaving him sad and lonely. So he decides to get them to stay by putting up beautiful birdfeeders filled with seeds and berries. Unfortunately, the squirrels like the treats, too, and make a daring raid on the feeders. The conflict escalates-until the birds depart (as usual), and the squirrels come up with a plan that charms the old grump.My take: How can you not like a book where you get to say Googlie Mooglie, raise your fist and yell “Those darned squirrels”?
