Wendy: It was fun. I am glad I did it because it made me think during the day about the little things Jacob does that I probably wouldn't even have remembered a month down the road! I used several of the same ones from others' blogs so it didn't take too too long to do.
Drea: Aww, I remember reading that once in your blog a while ago. I remembered smiling and thinking wow, they do that too :) That is a great song! :) We heard in several baby books that a little baby can remember and have memories of repeated sounds even as an adult. I thought that was really amazing; so we always sang that one because it is so repetitive. I think that it even improves brain function! Thank goodness for music. And in a way we are witnessing to our children right from birth. -

Oh wow, that is cool! And a b-day in April too! Great time of year I think. Don't have to worry about going into labor in winter and having to worry about roads and free enough to do things in summer because by then they will be approx 3-4 months and also I don't know how I would be in the dead heat of summer 9 months pregnant! It wasn't planned but if I have another I thing around easter is the perfect time~
