Le sigh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-books/page/2#post-1771197 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 09:46:13 +0000 .twist. 1771197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: OMG. YES TO IT ALL. *sob* *pout* *cry* :crying: He'd rather throw them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-books#post-1771191 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 09:44:25 +0000 cascademom 1771191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, we've been reading to him since he was about 4 months old. He's almost 2 and loves to pick out his books for bedtime routine. I'm so happy to see that there's a new recommendation to read to kids as early as newborn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-books#post-1771180 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 09:41:43 +0000 Katrocap 1771180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loves books, especially touch and feel ones! He doesn't seem to have a favorite, although maybe he does because lately he loves reading this Mickey Mouse ABC book his daycare provider gave him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-books#post-1770601 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 23:28:19 +0000 rrachael 1770601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely obsessed! For the first year she was all about Brown Bear, Brown Bear ... It wouldn't be a lie if I said I hope I never have to read that again! Now, at 19 months, she loves Peek A Who, too! She also loves anything with animals in it, anything with food in it - and her Olivia board book, because she knows that's her name :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-books#post-1763148 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 18:48:55 +0000 littlehunny 1763148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 20 month old twins want me to read to them all day long lately! L didn't really get into it until he was 15 months tho.<br /> They come over with book in hand and throw themselves into my lap haha. Anything with trucks, cars, diggers or trains are their favorites along with grumpy bird, boo hoo bird, and lmno peas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-books#post-1763067 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 17:26:20 +0000 photojane 1763067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's basically always loved them. Since she first started showing interest in things/toys, she's wanted to look through books. Her newest developments are trying to read by herself (sitting in her chair, flipping through, and babbling/pointing to the pages) &amp; trying to get out of going to bed by wanting to read just one more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-books#post-1763047 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 17:09:06 +0000 lovehoneybee 1763047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Completely obsessed, but it's a fairly recent occurrence. For a long while it was just one book. Now it's all books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-books#post-1762988 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 16:29:50 +0000 Running Elley 1762988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS LOVES them. Always has. His favorites right now are anything Dr. Seuss...ughhhh. He also loves all Curious George books. (21 months)</p> <p>DD loves...to eat books lol. While I try to read to her she's constantly grabbing them to chew. (8 months) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-books#post-1762965 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 16:22:16 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1762965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sadly, we are in the "couldn't care less" category. I keep trying and they keep rejecting me. I started reading "Guess How Much I Love You by making a huge game out of it where DH and I throw our arms up in the air, out wide, etc. to try to get them into it. DH even did a head stand one day. They thought Mama and Dada were being hilarious, but they still couldn't care less about the book . . . </p> <p>To an avid book lover, this is like having a million paper cuts that someone repeatedly pour alcohol over. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-books#post-1762914 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 15:36:59 +0000 Somebunny 1762914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She LOVES books! It doesn't matter what she's doing, she'll drop it to read a book. Her favorites are F is for farm and bed time peekaboo. And basically anything with a baby on it- she loves babies too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-books#post-1762899 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 15:27:34 +0000 lady grey 1762899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pat the Bunny and Peek-a-Who are big favorites in our house too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-books#post-1762858 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 15:09:27 +0000 birdofafeather 1762858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>she didn't seem to care and about a month ago (at 17 months) she started asking for "buh" and making the sign for book. it makes me happy and then i actually WANT to read her books! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-books#post-1762856 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 15:07:05 +0000 mdf106 1762856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 11 month old loves books. His favorite books change daily, but right now they are "Elmo's Monster Mash" and "Dear Zoo." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-books#post-1762828 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 14:54:05 +0000 Applesandbananas 1762828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Meh. He likes to rip out pages! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-books#post-1762824 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 14:52:38 +0000 swedishfish 1762824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12.5 months old and LOVES to read, just like her mama. But there are times she'll hand me a book, I'll read a page, and then she'll grab it back. Then she'll give it to me again 10 seconds later to read. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-books#post-1762771 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 14:36:03 +0000 Ginabean3 1762771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>16 months and for the longest time she didn't care for books. I was worried, especially since I'm an avid reader. But all of a sudden, she cares! She wants to be read to! She turns pages! It's so awesome...she will go to her bookshelf and pick up a book and hand it to me and back her little bum up into my lap to be read to. Warms my heart! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-books#post-1762737 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 14:25:22 +0000 Purpledaisy 1762737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>16 months old and has ZERO interest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-books#post-1762640 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 13:56:06 +0000 swurlygurl 1762640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Yes, this is what I was trying to say! It's kind of frustrating for me, but I try to make sure I let her have fun with reading and don't traumatize her... haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-books#post-1762637 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 13:54:54 +0000 swurlygurl 1762637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Obsessed. First thing she wants in the morning, and will drop anything at any time of day to come read. However, her attention span is short so she only cares about the book for 5 seconds.</p> <p>Her *favorite* book is the 'Foot Book' from Dr. Seuss. I am soooo tired of that dang book! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-books#post-1762636 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 13:54:24 +0000 hilsy85 1762636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Obsessed. current faves are "Where do diggers sleep at night?" and "little blue truck" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-books#post-1762633 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 13:54:03 +0000 mrsjazz 1762633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Obsessed. There's always a tantrum for one more book. We have to start off by telling her how many books we'll read. Right now she's obsessed with a Dr. Seuss book about monkeys drumming. She will sit and "read" to herself "dum ditty dum ditty dum dum dum" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-books#post-1762620 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 13:50:14 +0000 cmomma17 1762620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Been obsessed for a while.

At bedtime, she has realized that more books equal later bedtime, so she will keep asking for more and more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-books#post-1762616 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 13:48:42 +0000 immabeetoo 1762616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Obsessed. He spends more time reading with us or by himself than anything else! He has multiple favs but right now he's loving on the "how does a dinosaur" series and anything with a tractor or truck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-books#post-1762592 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 13:42:24 +0000 lamariniere 1762592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son has always loved books and he never ripped them apart, which was wonderful.</p> <p>I'm hoping DD will be the same. She seems to be enjoying story time more these days and is starting to pay a bit of attention. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-books#post-1761614 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 08:40:35 +0000 Foodnerd81 1761614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: exactly.

My Mum read to S the other day for the first time in a while and she was shocked how quick S liked to turn the pages...she couldn't read quick enough! Though it was hilarious watching her try ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-like-books#post-1761602 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 08:38:18 +0000 Dandelion 1761602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>D is a bookworm.
