Fun stuff...

Well, it seems that Isaiah is pretty much on the same track as Makenna, development-wise. He just hit the 3 month mark this week, so we decided to see if he was ready for the activity center. We did the same for Kenna at about the same timeframe, so we're using her milestones as guides for the little guy. At first he was a bit confused, but then again, so was Makenna. He just sat there and stared blankly at all the cool toys to play with. It took him a while, but eventually he was able to reach out for a couple of the toys, just to see what they do. We're slowly breaking him into his activity center, and he's doing well keeping his head balanced. His legs are fairly strong and he's able to hold himself up steadily. Once he gains more coordination in his arms and hands, he'll be reaching for all the toys. For now, it's just a work in progress!


When Kenna saw the activity center reappear out of nowhere, she went crazy! Her eyes lit up, almost as if she was getting reacquainted with a long lost friend! As she made her way around the activity center, she played with each toy the same way she did when it was her turn "way back when!" Of course, now it was all about being on the outside, while watching Isaiah struggle to make sense of what he was sitting in. It was fun watching Kenna play with Zay, as if she was "showing him the ropes."


If there's one thing Makenna loves, it's books. She'll probably be a nerd when she gets older, but like they say, a mind is a terrible thing to waste! I guess she's really picked up on the actions that go along with reading. Here's a short video clip I caught of Kenna as she attempts to read one of her books. Check out the intonation of her voice as she "reads" different things. She's also a wiz at turning the pages. Even the way she holds her book makes you wonder if she really knows what she's doing...
