nap time is where it's at.

I love nap time.

Don't get me wrong, Tatum's great. We're total best friends, all that mushy-gushy mom stuff...But man, nap time. It's just necessary to my (and probably her) mental well-being, you know?
I love that time to myself to recharge, take a break, and start over (if it's been a rough day).

For the most part, I spend her nap time with a good book and cup of coffee. Yeah, I'm the lazy mom who doesn't really do housework during that time. I'll just blame it on our house being small and being worried I'll wake her. Yep, that's it.

How do you like to spend nap time?

keeping busy.

Recently I picked up quite a few more books and some flash cards to keep Tatum and I a bit more busy throughout the day. It's made for a nice little change. She couldn't care less about the French flash cards (unless she's chewing on them), but that's okay. FOR NOW. <-------Kidding.

She loves reading her books together, as do I.
And she really loves her flash card flip book. It was free with our order, so I figured, why not? It's pretty neat, and a major plus to it is that it has laminated pages. So, T can bite, chew, drool on them all the live long day. She's happy, I'm happy.

I really love all of the books we purchased except for "I Kissed the Baby."
It's just...not my scene. My friend Bridgette told me she felt the same way, but did point out that the pictures are at least good for babies (b + w, with pops of color). Silver lining!
My favorite of the books is probably "Happy Hippo, Angry Duck." I do some really cool voices with it, so it's fairly entertaining if I do say so myself.

I think I'm going to pick up some child style musical instruments soon, too. Just for fun!

Parents, what sorts of activities do you like to do with your babies?
Any book recommendations?
