Use those alphas!

Hello! Happy April!! I hope you are all out enjoying your Monday and soaking up some sun. The weather has been great here in CA the past couple weeks. But we just heard rain is in the forecast tomorrow!! ACK!

I wanted to share with you this layout I made for Joey. We were really concerned with his speech, saying only 2 or so words before he was 2. We even saw a speech therapist for advice. She said not to worry, but gave us some exercises to work on with him. I think it was hard for him since he has 2 VERY chatty siblings and it's just hard for him to get a word in at all. They do not "speak for him", but they just spoke non-stop all day! Esp the she-sibling...LOL!

I used the quote bubbles paper from the February kit. Once I saw the paper, I knew it was perfect for Joey who can now say over 30 words and string together 2-4 words at a time! We are so proud of him. Although it's still hard to understand exactly what he's saying, esp if it's the first time to hear him, but he's getting there!! Oh, and he's another one who is non-stop! All day I hear...Mommy 30thousand times from 3 different voices! It's stressful at times, but I know I should really cherish this time in my life...LOL.

Oh, you must be wondering what "Bao" means..LOL. That is what Joey calls himself! I have no idea where he got it from, maybe because I call him Joey Boy? Either way, it's totally cute. Now we pretty much all call him that! LOL! Silly boy! Thanks so much!!
