These stories celebrate some of the most magical moments in a child’s life. In these digital storybooks, Grover and his little cousin Marty look at a family photo album of all the special moments they shared as Marty grew. Share these stories with your child. During and after reading, you might:  

• Talk about similar milestones in your child’s life  

• Express your pride in watching them grow  

• Talk about special moments (“I’ll always remember when you took your first steps… we clapped and clapped, and you laughed and laughed!”) 

• Notice and point out all the things your child can do, is learning to do, and will do one day! 

Children’s wellness is often measured by milestones — what can they do, and when can they do it? Wellness visits are regular opportunities for these check-ins. Keep in mind that each child develops at his or her own pace and that your child’s development may look different than Marty’s — and that’s okay! Reach out to your child’s doctor to ask questions or to share your concerns about your child’s health and development.
