11 months and practicing

Briella has recently taken an interest in books. Well, she used to love chewing on them, but has slowly learned that this is not the purpose of books. Now she actually pages through them and will sit and listen to a book and look at the pictures. She does enjoy hitting the pages, especially the board books. I think she is practicing her reading skills so that when she is a big sister she can read to the baby . . . yes, some time around March 4 we are expecting a baby!! I'm feeling well and we are looking forward to another child.
Briella hit 11 months this week! We can hardly beleive we are nearing the one year mark . . . She loves to walk along things and hold your hands to walk, but isn't ready to be on her own yet.

As I continue reading through the Bible, I am enjoying the Psalms very much. They are very personal writings and very practical. When I taught we would read a Psalm or a Proverb for lunch devotions and I always found that kids could learn something from each one. I am excited to be over half way through the year and still on track to finish in December.
