Yet another month has passed; I can't believe how fast it went! My son is already another month older. He still loves to be read to, but he wants to be much more involved in the reading. He loves to grab for books, reach for pages, close/open books and turn pages. Although he rarely does these actions when you want him to. More than once I've had a book closed on me while I'm in the middle of the page. I mostly read board books to him so he can reach for and play with the books without causing too much damage, but sometimes I still like to read nonboard books. When I read nonboard books I try to give him a toy to play with to keep his hands busy. My husband is much more successful than I am when it comes to reading nonboard books because his arms are long enough that he can put our son in his lap and hold the book in his hands far enough away that our son can't reach it.
For the first time he's really showing interest in the book
Peek A Who? We've had this book for awhile, but he loves it right now. I think he likes the cut outs that he can grab onto and he always spends sometime looking in the mirror at the end of the book. Previously he really hadn't cared much about the mirror, but now he's into it.
Here are a few more of our favorite books for him right now:
- Eating the Alphabet: Fruits and Vegetables from A to Z by Lois Ehlert
- Sheep on a Ship by Nancy E. Shaw
- Pajama Time by Sandra Boynton
- Peek a Who? by Nina Laden
