Bringing Up Baby

Documenting the baby makin' experience. From Trying to Conceive, to Bringing Up Babies, I share all the laughs and all the horror.

I'm Jess, I'm 31 years old, I live in Minneapolis with The Husband, Jack (the girl dog with a boy name), and The Mac -- the person we made. He's pretty much the most awesome human being alive and easily the greatest thing I've ever done . We're expecting another little dude this spring and I suspect he'll be just as awesome

Fact: this is the worst book ever. Oh sure, it looks good. Nice illustrations, a book about a zoo — what could be wrong with it?

How about the fact that it has almost no words.

Listen people, if I want Mac to look at pictures, I’ll take him to a museum. I’m not looking to go off script with a book here. He’s two and a half, not an infant. I don’t want to narrate pictures. I want to not have to think for 5 minutes while I READ him a book. I want to spend $10 for someone else to come up with the story.

If you are like me don’t buy this stupid book. It will make you insane.
