Children's Books for Lauryn

Grover and the Everything in the Whole Wide World Museum by Norman Stiles
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is an awesome book that I read to Lauryn. We get to explore everything in the whole wide world! We discover things on the ground, things in the sky, things on the wall, things that grow from the ground, things that you can trip over, small things, heavy things, and all sorts of exciting new things for little toddlers to learn.

Lauryn loves to see Grover trip and fall through this entire book. She laughs when he and her gets tickled, and when she gets cuddled just like he does.

This book is super interactive in just learning about everything she can discover.

I definitely recommend this book to parent of toddlers.

I rate this book a 5.

Childrens books for Lauryn

Dr. Seuss's ABC: An Amazing Alphabet Book! by Dr. Seuss

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Great book for teaching little ones their ABC's! I enjoyed reading this book to Lauryn. It gave examples of each letter, and it rhymed which made reading this book out loud a joy.  I would definitely recommend this small board book to other parents who are looking for a book to read to their child.

Peek-a-Who? by Nina Laden

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Small board book for children that showed a peek-a-boo window to the next page. This book was not interesting at all for me in reading, and Lauryn did not seem to be fascinated by this book at all. In fact, she tore this book up! The only good thing about this book was the fact that it had a mirror in the back of the book, other than that, I would not recommend it to others.

Open the Barn Door, Find a Cow (A Chunky Book by Christopher Santoro

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this book for the simple fact that it had small flaps to show the barn house animals. Lauryn kept looking for what was behind the flap, so I'm pretty sure she enjoyed this book. It was very small and compact, which fit perfectly in her hands. She was able to look at the book herself and turn pages if she liked. This book introduced the animals, put the animals in the right occupations, and let the children know what and why they were doing something. Really beneficial to assisting the children in learning about farm animals they may not see in person.

Busy busy busy! - Week 41

Lauryn has progressed from not only pulling up, to standing, to touching things, but now she has developed the skill of reaching for things while standing! 

Lauryn is so busy!! She moves a mile a minute. Never really stopping to do anything, but eat and sleep... she needs to move something at all times. 

Lauryn's personality is really budding right now. She is such a social butterfly! She loves making noise, and engaging with people that she knows and doesn't know. 

She loves to play hide and seek! Playing peek-a-boo is her favorite thing! I have caught her on camera playing peek-a-boo on more than one occasion. 

I love this little girl!! She amazes me everyday with the new things that she learns. She soaks up everything like a sponge, and she is so quick to catch on to things, its great! I can't wait to show her more things as she grows! 

A year ago, she was still in my stomach... busily moving around, and being active as I was preparing for the baby shower. Now, she's still as active as she was inside of my stomach as she is outside of my stomach. Her curiosity and determination of doing things on her own is growing my by the minute. I can't wait to see how she grows more as the days go by!
