Buying Books for Babies

I never thought that I'd find myself in the children's section of any bookstore feeling such sacred love, but life is funny this way.
Today has been all about babies of all ages, and buying books for the smallest person I "know" was a delight. Her birthday falls on the same day as the FIRST birthday of life for another little spirit I treasure. My cuz sent me a pic of me holding her baby and I saw side of myself and of my dad that gifted me so wonderfully. Thank you!
Book,
book,
book.
The best thing you can give a child is a book or music, ideally both. And then a bear-hug, which my dad specialized in.
