Updates

As our little one turned 6 weeks old we have noticed some major changes. The day before she reached 6 weeks she began pushing her head and upper body up.

Then 2 days later she started rolling over! She rolled over 3 times that day and has rolled over a few times since. I keep trying to get a video, but unfortunately she has been too quick for me so far.

Another milestone is she has started purposefully using her hands. Her main hand activity to date has been using back of hand to push pacifier in mouth.

In other exciting news my 5 year old has started Saxon math. In our family we start Saxon at level 5/4. This is estimated to be at the level of an advanced 4th grader or average 5th grader. Prior to starting this we had him complete Singapore up through 2B. In addition, he does fact practice daily using Sterling Math Facts (http://www.supershareware.com/info/sterling-math-facts.html), and listens/sings along to the skip counting section of the Classical Conversations CD. Prior to starting Saxon we made sure that he was solid in all math facts through the 12's in all 4 operations. In his first few lessons he has been doing well and is so excited to be starting the same math program as his older brother.

Proudly holding up his first lesson
