Kate's Favorite Book

Okay, so maybe Oh, Baby, the Places You'll Go! A Book to Be Read in Utero is Kate's ONLY book so far; but if her activity level is any indication of her satisfaction with this book being read to her, then she loves it. Dad has been regularly reading it to us at bedtime for about a month or two.

Of course no one can ever really determine what's going on in there, but it seems that as soon as Kate recognizes the volume of dad's voice and the rhythm of the verse, she jiggers around to get comfortable for her bedtime story. Once she's in place she'll give a poke or kick every once in a while to let us know she's listening and enjoying story time. Who knows. She might even be giving dad a little giggle while he reads.

If you're not familiar with this short book, it is adapted by Tish Rabe from the works of Dr. Seuss and introduces baby to the many Dr. Seuss characters that she will soon meet. What we enjoy most about the book, though, is that it lets us speak directly to Kate (in clever rhyme) right up to the very last line: It's a scrumptulous world and it's ready to greet you. And as for myself...well...I can't wait to meet you!
