Reading

Anthony loves to listen to books! We have been reading two night time books to him since he was a week or so old, and I would read to him during the day, but now he really enjoys it. He looks at the pictures the entire time someone is reading (usually only during the day, he's typically falling asleep when we read at night). If they're simple pictures to understand (think Brown Bear, Brown Bear) he tends to smile at the pictures, too! I should have known he'd love reading since we read to him in the womb and Matt and I both enjoy it!

Special Delivery

Thanks to Michelle for two new books for Anthony! She's unable to attend the shower, so she ordered Hop on Pop and Dr. Seuss's ABC's and them sent to our apartment! Two of my very favorite children's books that we'll be able to introduce to Anthony!

Thanks again Michelle!

UPDATE

The other part of Michelle's gift came in the mail today! She also bought us our baby monitor, which will definitely get use! We haven't taken it out of the package yet, but we'll probably test it before Anthony is born to make sure everything works.

Spoiled Baby

We received LBD's first gift this weekend! My mom stopped at Carter's after work on Friday and picked us up a bunch of gender-neutral baby things. And then today, when we met her, my dad, and baby sister to drop of my brother and sister, she bought a few books, too! Of course, I took pictures of everything and it's all  just too cute! LBD isn't even three months along and he/she's already being spoiled!
