English has started and hasn't stopped



Well today I could not believe my ears. I asked Alayna which she wanted Cheerios or fruit with her yogurt and she says "Cheerios". Usually she will point to one or the other. I was taken back. It didn't stop there she just kept on talking and talking. She asked for a Cinderella sticker to put on her dress, in Walmart she named every character on shoes, and even sang in the car. Everyone kept saying she will start to talk soon don't worry and I kept thinking yeah right. Chandler took her to the library and she was just talking up a storm. She shocked him alright.

Nate has been doing well. He is repeating many words. He will tell you his name, age and the word eat. My favorite is when we ask him for a hug, he runs up to you and squeezes your neck so tight. Looking at his pictures from day one until now he has changed way to fast. His grandpa Fran has taught him how to throw the kick ball down the driveway and his football stance. Many thanks to grampa.

We will be heading to the beach in a few weeks and will post again soon. Love The Efland's

Zoo Photos






We took a trip to the Zoo last week. Alayna loved it! When we came across the Giraffe I thought her eyes were going to pop out of her head. Nate enjoyed it as well although he was not to keen on the carousel ride. We have been hanging out at home and learning the ABC's. She can now write her name and knows the ABC's but won't speak it yet. At times she wants to but won't let go. I think we are cresting the mountain and will be on our way down in the next few weeks. We will continue to keep you all posted. Alyson, Chandler, Alayna and Nate
