July mamas how interested in books are your babies? I try to read to my daughter several times a day. At first she gets excited but then she only pays attention for a page or two and she's off doing something else. She does like to look at them on her own sometimes too. My older child was really into books at age one and let me read to him for much longer (and is still really into them). Is this normal for her? We have TONS of books- all kinds because I have an older child too. So we have books in every room we hang out in.
