We are now navigating unknown waters with this whole parenting thing! And I know that Little Bit isn’t very big yet and all we are focusing on is eating, sleeping, and pooping but still. I’d like to try and stay ahead of the game! There is SO much pressure to make sure your child’s development is on track and everyone wants a baby genius. I am just over here trying to soak in as much information as I can still process! So, with that being said, I am turning to books! I have created a book bucket list all for parenting books this year! And, yes there will be some dad books in there because this is a team effort haha! Check it out!
