Hitting the books

Soren has recently begun to show a real interest in playing with toys and looking at books. He always gets really excited when we put him in his baby gym to play, but he's now beginning to show that same excitement when he looks at his favorite book (Bugs at Play). It has lots of bright colors and black and white contrast and you can watch his little eyes scan each page and he starts kicking and coos every time the page is turned (at least for the first one or two times through the book). We were so excited that Gram and Bumpy were able to see how excited he gets with this book and not think we were crazy parents making the whole thing up.

Brown Bear is a much more subdued reading experience than Bugs at Play

Reading with Bumpy. Unfortunately this was his 6th or so time through the book and he was less excited.
