I can't seem to get through reading them. On the floor, upside down, in the baby's hands, books are full of surprises. My 5 month old grabs everything I am holding. It's impossible to read anything for more than about two seconds. I hate having the book grabbed out of my hands.
Early reading is partly a game, often just a point and name exercise.
Have two books going at once. And point to and name a few things in this second book, until the switch occurs again. Little by little, the baby will listen for more than a word or two, and you might be able to read more of a story. My new baby sleeps a lot. I feel silly reading to a sleeping baby.
