I love books and reading, as does Big Papa, so we are thrilled that Baby Bird’s favorite “toys” are her many books. Recently she’s started “reading” to herself (Oh Joy!). She’ll take her books off the shelf, amass a dozen or so favorites, splay them out in a circle and then plop herself down in the middle and flip through the pages, sometimes saying a few memorized words or just babbling away.
