guess how much i love you {what we're reading}

Sometimes books can really pull at your heart strings.

And these books really do that for me.

I bought this set of books three years ago

when my beautiful boy was still Dollop.

They were the first thing I bought for my baby

(I guess that says a lot about my book obsession)

and once I started maternity leave I read them to my bump each day

sitting on the day bed in the nursery,

the same day bed that my beautiful boy now sleeps in.

And when I was expecting Splodge

who would become my beautiful girl,

I used to read them to my bump again,

only with my little man curled up by my side too.

So reading these books to my children just warms my heart.

They bring memories crashing back,

from the days before I became a mama,

the days when I was on the cusp of big change

but couldn't have ever grasped just how much change.

I have always loved the original Guess How Much I Love You

and this little set of shorter books was just too cute to resist.

Guess How Much I Love You All Year Round is a series of books set in the different seasons,
Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
The books are all beautiful and

the stories are just as charming as the original book they spin off from.

The beautiful girl has really got into looking at these books lately,

and she really inspects the pages,

like she's really trying to take on board what is on the page.

Her furrowed brow is one of the cutest things ever.
