We read the paperback version of Confessions of a Bunny to our daughter, Nova Skye, who is currently almost 20 months (a little over a year and a half) old.  Learn how Confessions of a Bunny is a fun bedtime story for young kids!

What Does Our Active Toddler Think of Confessions of a Bunny?

We think Nova enjoyed this book and the pictures (above) are indicative, as you can see! We love that the little girl in the book also has a prized possession. For Nova, it's her blankie. This makes it very relatable, as many young kids have an item like this.

What is Confessions of a Bunny About and What do We Think?

Confessions of a Bunny is about a stuffed bunny, her girl, and the adventures and love they share together. Many young kids should be able to relate to the story line, as well as enjoy the colorful illustrations.

The lesson of love that this book teaches is one all kids should learn. If your child is cuddly, like Nova is, it is highly recommended as a bedtime story. This is because of the cuddling a prized stuffed toy, like  the main character, Bun Bun can offer.

Our toddler really liked this book during nap time. After the story, she proceeded to cuddle with her blankie and fall fast asleep. Perfect!

The author, Melissa Jackson, did a great job creating a story that not only can be related to by kids of multiple ages, but also teaches an important lesson with fun imagery and words.

Nova getting ready for bed with her newest mail from Highlights - 4 giant Find The Object flashcards and her latest issue of Baby Highlights. She got a calendar for next year too but that will go up later. Don't worry that she is chewing on them. They anticipate that and they are designed for that.

Nova really likes playing in containers of all kinds. Be it a cardboard box, a toy bin, a toy box, or anything else she can fit in (even barely), she will.

Her Grandma Rowell says she is being a cat. I agree. It's like I always say, "Kids Belong In Boxes". Enjoy these photos and videos of Nova's container fun. Don't mind the applesauce on her face in some of them. She wanted to play while enjoying a snack.

Earlier today, Nova was having some milk and bananas. She likes us to sing everything and she dances most every time. She also dances to any music she likes. I caught  9 month old Nova on video (BELOW) dancing to the random milk song I was singing to her as she enjoyed her milk and bananas. She says "milk" near the end of the video. At 9 months old, she is a very smart baby, always dancing and saying too many words to keep up with. She likes copying just about everything everyone says if she can.

Nova actually likes eating bananas, but she likes chewing on these plastic ones, too. I'm sure they don't taste nearly as good...

Nova says Happy Thanksgiving... OK not really... but it's still cute!

Nova Skye is learning to feed herself lately. Watch this cute baby video and take a look at the pictorial to see how she's doing. She's eating Beechnut organic Non-GMO certified apples and sweet potatoes that are lightly spiced with cinnamon.

 We got the first snow of the season in Aurora, Colorado today. Since Nova isn't even 6 months yet, this was her first time seeing snow. Check out the fun snow pictures! You can't see the flakes in all of the pictures but they were coming down good and she really loved it. She first looked out the window, then we brought her out into it with her snowsuit, and then we gave her a snowball to play with  for a few minutes inside the warm house. Sorry that I'm not in any of the photos but I was the picture-taker.

Nova loves listening to Dr. Seuss books. So, it's only appropriate that she has a Cat in the Hat Dr. Seuss outfit, as well as Cat in the Hat pajamas. One day when we went to IKEA, she happened to have on said outfit and wanted to play in a tent that matched her stripes. She had so much fun! You can see her snoozing in her jammies from another long day, as well.

 Nova's been perfecting the art of blowing spit bubbles for the past couple months. Here's some fun pictures of Nova Skye blowing spit bubbles.  Does your baby do this too? Share your stories and links in the comment section.

Is this a complaint? Heck no. Like I said, I enjoy getting her stuff ready for her. But it sure is a funny observation. Those extra pieces are actually necessary in order to make feeding time run smoothly. Tommee Tippee is one of my favorite brands to use because the bottles and sippee cups have interchangeable parts, such as the handles and covers. Also, the formula dispensers fit so snugly inside them for super quick prep when Nova gets hungry. 

Babies sure use a TON of dishes. But it's well worth the sacrifice to have a happy, satisfied, and healthy baby.

Oh and a big shoutout to Munchkin for the awesome Munchkin bottle and nipple brushes, plus the High Capacity Drying Rack. There's no way I could properly wash and dry all of these pieces without them.

Nova's getting so big! She got to play with her Nuby stacking cups today and she absolutely loves them! She played with them in her Graco SimpleSwitch Convertible High Chair.  The high chair is so comfy and the cups were so fun that she enjoyed them for quite a bit. The two videos below, as well as the pictures above depict how delighted and interested she was.

Nova really loves being in her Boppy Nursing Pillow. As pictured, it has a pink bird slipcover on it. Ever since we brought her home from the hospital, she has enjoyed sleeping, feeding, and lounging in it. I highly recommend it to anyone with a baby, as it's multi-functional, portable, and cozy. Enjoy these pictures of Nova enjoying her Boppy from newborn up to 4 months (her current age).

Nova got to play with a train set for the first time today. Aja and Nathan were playing and she wanted to join in, so we let her (with close supervision). See the photo gallery below to find out how much fun she had.
