So every night before bed, Kevin "reads" to Lilliana (from the voice recorder); either Goodnight Moon, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Guess How Much I Love You, How Do I Love You? by Marion Dane Bauer , or Lilly the Lonely Lighthouse by Emily Elizabeth (from the Clifford books). She dances to her daddy's voice every night. Its so cool to feel her move from one side to the other as I move the voice recorder from one side of my ever expanding belly to the other. :-)
