I read somewhere that "What did you do today?" is a question that new moms dread because our answers never seem very substantial. Ummm... changed diapers, tried to get the baby down for a nap, did four loads of laundry, binge watched Fixer Upper during nursing sessions. These aren't exactly topics that stimulate dinner conversation. Even though it's hard to articulate, I feel like Harper and I are busy all the time.
Today, for instance, I found out that Harper's favorite book to date is Where is Baby's Belly Button? She would watch intently as I lifted the flaps to show baby's toes and fingers and eyes. At the grand finale of the book, when I revealed all of baby behind the flap, Harper gave me her little baby grin. I couldn't help unveiling the baby five more times before we started the book all over again. For the record, my favorite book today was Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom.
After Harper's morning nap, we drove over to 15th and 15th to pick up a book for Aidan at the King's English bookstore. Luckily, they had the Percy Jackson he wanted in stock so we didn't have to go home empty handed.
Hands down best bookstore in Salt Lake |
Harper missing the view |
We also found this weird cast-bronze statue of a sugar beet. |
Must... move... forward... |
We cooked dinner together, and I narrated my actions for Harper as if I were on a cooking show. She listened intently and now knows how burritos are made.
We had fun at bath time followed by a baby massage and blowing raspberries on her belly.
Was it the busiest, most productive day in the history of mankind? Nope. Am I super excited to do more of the same tomorrow? You bet.

Well, fun for me. |
