To feed Kaiya's passion for books, I enrolled in the Children's Book of the Month Club.  I couldn't pass it up, for about $12, we got 9 books (shipped for FREE to HI)!  So for $12, Kaiya got....The Giving Tree, The Runaway Bunny, Oh The Places You'll Go!, If You Give a Pig a Pancake, Belly Button Book!, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, Chicka Chicka 1 2 3, Knuffle Bunny Too, and All of Baby Nose to Toes.  She loves to try and eat the books cause she's on a try and eat everything in sight frenzy!  Just the other day I looked in her mouth and her tooth broke through her gums!!  Sharp little sucker!  And the one next to it is starting to break through too.  Can't wait to see how the whole teeth and feeding thing goes for mommy.

Here's the start of Kaiya's book collection...hopefully she'll be able to save all of these books and pass them down to her children one day.

And this is one of her favorite books from Aunty Aleathia in Las Vegas.  It's a soft-sided zipper book that contains little sea creatures that are velcro'd on.  She loves the anago (salt water eel) and tako (octopus).  She might love it because they're easier to "eat" than those hard books.  Can you see the determination on her little face!
