One of my favorite things to do when my daughter was a baby was to sit and read books to her. Sure, she couldn’t focus on the book or words at first, but she loved sitting with me and hearing my voice. Over time, the interest in books came. It’s for sure one of the major things we bonded over. With that in mind, I always recommend giving a book \u2014 or two \u2014 as a way to mark that very first Mother’s Day. Below are some fun options.<\/p>\n
