Since we were talking about milestones and growing up too fast, I couldn’t not mention my girl, who I thought deserved her own post.<\/p>\n

October and November have thus far, been monumental months for Jaia. \u00a0And for me.<\/p>\n

Seeing your baby take their first step or hearing them speak their first word is a moment of pride for any parent. And an amazing accomplishment for the child. \u00a0It’s something that we look forward to from the moment we first hold them in our arms – maybe even earlier.<\/p>\n

AS they grow, the milestones they meet become fewer and farther between, but are no less monumental. \u00a0In fact, some are mindblowing. \u00a0For me, anyway.<\/p>\n

Jaia has started reading. \u00a0She can read Level 1 books on her own. \u00a0She’s able to power through other, higher level books with some help. \u00a0And she loves it. \u00a0Everywhere we go she’ll point out signs she can read and tell me what they say. So that baby that I not so long ago was holding in my arms can now pick up a book and read it to me.<\/p>\n

Seriously. \u00a0Mind is officially blown. \u00a0Insides are officially bursting with pride.<\/p>\n

And there’s one more thing. \u00a0In the grand scheme, it is not as significant as learning to read, but to a 4 year old, it is still the bee’s knees. \u00a0Two weeks ago, Jaia also learned to tie own laces.<\/p>\n
