Our little ones are growing every day! It is sometimes amazing to them (and to us) just how quickly they grow from tiny babies to big kids able to do lots of things. Help your child see how they are changing by tracking their size and abilities. Growth charts are an age-old way to see height changes; see if there is a good spot in your home to add one for your family. Create a "things I can do" book for your little one to highlight all of their milestones. Even just looking through old pictures is a great way to have the conversation "when you were small." 

Check out these great books for all ages to extend your family conversations!
