I can honestly say that Maggie thoroughly enjoys books. Although she likes to nibble on their corners, she does listen as we read, which seems quite impressive to me! Recently, we've been running our fingers along the words and her eyes follow along. We just added Miss Spider's New Car by David Kirk (how hilarious is that?!) to our collection and she loves the big, bright illustrations. Here's to building a lifetime love of reading!

Loving books

Go Mags with the reading! It's such a huge investment in the future. Car travels wouldn't have been nearly as fun for me growing up if I didn't have a box of books to devour.
ReplyDeleteCan I get an autographed copy from your dad! :)

Don't you love that they love not only hearing the words, but tasting them as well?! How wonderful she is already enjoying her books.
ReplyDeleteHow great!! :) Zoe loves books as well, as does Angelina. :) We have read to Angelina every night and now, she is reading!! It's pretty great! I love hearing parents that are so involved in their children's lives just like Mike and I are! Mags has some great parents!
ReplyDeleteYeah for Mags! That looks like a fun book, love the illustrations. The back of her head looks so cute in this picture!
ReplyDeleteyay! glad mags is loving the magic of books! it is so fun to watch them go through all their stages with books. owen has certain ones he likes read over and over...and now he points out things he knows the words for. It is so cute to hear him "read" too, with his little made up language. It will be fun to see which ones Maggie likes the most and watch her interact with them even more. (Every time I see those David Kirk books I think of, well, your dad and smile :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative shot! Love it. ;)
ReplyDeletep.s. I love your shirt! Where's it from?
ReplyDeleteLa, the shirt is from E. She gave it to me while we were all in Dallas last summer. Maybe it's Forever 21?
