here are some recent photos of my little book lover "reading" that i snapped with my phone. i tell ya, this girl is smitten with books. she will sit there for an entire hour, totally content, just flipping pages, looking at pictures and reading to herself. i cannot tell you how many times that i have started to get nervous when things got quiet... you know how that is moms, when things get quiet and you have a baby around... it usually means that they are up to no good, getting into something they shouldn't or creating an enormous mess for you to clean up. well, gemma bird gets quiet often and when i go to see what she has gotten herself into, nine times out of ten she has gotten herself into a good book. if that can't put a smile on your face, i don't know what will because it is just the about the most mama melting thing there is! and if that wasn't cute enough, she has to walk around throughout the day with her bindings, pages and words in hand, saying her favorite word... "book!" and it's the cutest sounding "book!" you've ever heard. lordy i love her so much! xo.
