    You go girl, teaching Makaiah sign language!! Our little man is almost 1.5 years old & he's sooo good at signing AND verbally saying new words together all the time. It encourages & stengthens children's language development SO much to learn sign language in their first year. Our little man does this INCREDIBLE GIGGLE when he signs (or says certain words) when we repeat them back in understanding... like he feels SO proud that we understand when he communicates & it feels so good 🥹🥰

    I remember for the first 3 months after my daughter was born, I felt like a mess!! It’s definitely a learning curve for both mama and baby but it’s a journey that I wouldn’t change! I cried a lot and experienced anxiety that I had never had before but it was all worth it!! Now my daughter will be 3 years old this year 😭 Cherish every moment!

    Can I suggest something trying something for your breakfast burrito/taco prep? Try heating your tortillas up on the stove on med/low heat on each side until golden brown. It's such a game changer!
    I'm Hispanic, and I didn't realize how many people ate their tortillas "raw". I've seen a few people throw theirs in the microwave, but it makes them soft and almost soggy-ish and just really isn't the same as giving them a nice zap on the stovetop
