Aliyah reading
A short video of Aliyah reading a book to me several months ago.

Since we are traveling to California soon, we have been practicing saying the names of our family members! Here is a video we took this morning:
Here is a silly video of Caed, Aliyah and I reading a book about animals. Aliyah was 15 months old and just starting to do the animal sounds.
Aliyah loves when the whole family is together. She was so inspired that she said her first phrase! Pointing to each on of us in turn, she exclaimed “Mommy, Daddy, Ah-yah!”
Not only an accomplishment for saying a phrase, it’s the first time she’s said her own name. She’s developing her own identity outside her parents. She has her own things; She points to her cup or bowl and says “Ah-yah,” then turn to my plate and says “Mommy.”
