I was at the library today checking out big new picture books for Rachel because I am getting really tired of reading the same ones over and over. The exception is "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom," which besides teaching about the alphabet has a really cool jazz rhythm. I was reading it to her tonight after we got home from the pool, bouncing her on my lap, and she kept looking at me and smiling!
Anyway, in the winter Drew would take Rachel to "book babies," a free program at all Multnomah County libraries where you can take take your baby in for storytime. We stopped as summer approached and we didn't want to be cooped up inside, and the times interfered with Rachel's nap schedule...
So now, she is too old for "book babies." She would be in the next reading group, which is for toddlers (i.e., kids ages 1 and up). I had a momentary stab of regret. This must mean she's growing up. When she starts walking, we won't be able to call her a baby anymore.

Plus she would probably mow down the babies by crawling right over them. I know Marigold would!
