9 Months

Miss Esme is 9 months old!

Eating finger foods and laughing at big sister, Alice.

She loves her "baba" (Daddy).

- The big news is that Esme is officially mobile! She crawls all over the place and loves to splash in the dog's water bowl. Of course.

- She claps her hands when someone says, "Yay!" 

- Her favorite song / thing is "The Itsy-Bitsy Spider". 

- Her favorite foods are: watermelon (still), blueberries, strawberries, and everything.

- She still only has two teeth (bottom), but one of her top teeth is starting to appear. 

- Her personality is starting to come out more. She is very sweet and cuddly, but also feisty and independent. 

- Her nicknames are Ez, Ezzie, and Ezzie May. 

We love you, sweet Ezzie May! It's so much fun to watch you grow!

Homeschool Planning

It's that time of year again! Back-to-school prep time. With homeschooling, that means: creating our schedule, writing and printing lesson plans, gathering books and supplies, and organizing our school space.

Lucy's weekly checklist

What is it about rainbow tabs that makes me SO excited? (I'm a nerd.)

These are only a few of the books Lucy will get to read this year... There are so many!

(Side note: Some of these book titles are very old and contain outdated terminology; however this does NOT reflect the content of the books, which CELEBRATE other cultures with sensitivity and respect.)

It's a lot of work, but I am so excited to get started. Our first day of school will be Monday, September 9... a little less than a month away!
