    We read a book each night before bed. We do On The Night You Were Born, Good Morning Good Night, Guess How Much I Love You, Curious George Parade Day, The Very Busy Spider, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and Do You Want to Be My Friend.

    Whether or not he has a favorite is anyone's guess. He seems to smile a little more frequently when we do Guess How Much I Love You or On The Night You Were Born.

    I love all the books the author of On The Night You Were Born has written. I finally can read on the night... without crying, but, I still tear up reading Wherever you go my love will find you.

    All the tears.  Every time.


    Yep. I can't read it, DH has to do it. I can't even get past the first page without bawling.

    I love Is Your Mama a Llama. We also love the Piggie & Elephant books (There's a Bird On My Head is my favorite).

    Not appropriate for S, but Go The F To Sleep is hilarious and very relatable for us right now!

    Yes, definitely in the past couple weeks, B has taken more of an interest in reading, although I think he just hopes I'll let him gnaw on the book afterwards. We typically read one in the morning while he's nursing, and one or two at night. 

    I tend to like some of the classic rhyming books (Go Dogs Go, Green Eggs & Ham, Put Me in the Zoo are some favorites). For whatever reason, I don't get tired of them. Some of our other favorites are Harold & the Purple Crayon, Harry the Dirty Dog, The Runaway Bunny (love that momma bunny!) and the Sandra Boynton books. DH loves "Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel" and I also like The Little Engine that Could, OP :) 

    I want to start reading a chapter book, just because it's different. I ordered a copy of the original 101 Dalmatians (not the Disney version) and we are going to do that at night when DH is here to listen, too. 
    LOVE Harold & the Purple Crayon.

    Our current favorite is Goodnight Moon. I try to read him a book before each nap as long as he's not too fussy. He grabs at the pages, probably because he wants to chew on them.

    I can't wait to go home and tell DH I'm not the only one who can't read On the Night You Were Born without crying!

    We love the book Crocodaddy, I use silly voices and LO cracks up. Surprisngly my cousin gave it to me, didnt know she could read! ok bitchy moment sorry guys.

    I read to her in the morning as I pump before work on the side she didn't eat. I love morning story time, I'll be sad when I stop BF if we don't continue it.

    LO doesn't usually seem too thrilled with books right now but I keep trying to include one or two into the bedtime routine.

    I do have one pop up book that I think is a front runner at the moment because it's obviously very visually entertaining. It's called School Bugs and the pop ups are pretty good!
    I also read the little engine that could.

    Not sure why but on the night you were born- not a tear jerker for me. I think I cried more for little engine that could, because little baby you can do anything!
