Everyone Loves a Reader

For some time now, Juniper has been really interested in having us read books to her. In the past week or so, she's gotten into reading books on her own. She'll sit with a book, turning the pages, just as happy as could be. She's obviously deriving meaning from the books: when she sees something she recognizes, she'll name it. It's particularly cute when she's reading animal books, making the sound for each animal. These days "book, book, book" is almost as common a phrase as "milk, milk, milk."
