When he was newborn, I do remember that he would sit still and let me finish the whole book, it was a joy reading to him. At 3 - 4 months, when he was at his teething state, he was frustrated with the fact that I wouldn't let him gum the books as I read to him. He would fuss as I read to him everyday. I perservered but limited to 1 book a day. Then later on, I decided to let go a bit and let him gum the books, he still fussed because he couldn't get the whole book into his mouth! Presently, he still gums the book corners but he also enjoys turning the pages as well as opening and closing the book. However, I wonder if he actually hears me read since he enjoys doing his own activity so much! :P I would love to read to him before his bedtime but he usually gets so fussy by then that he won't be in the mood for a story, so I do try if possible, to have storybook time in the afternoon. Btw, great information you have there! :) I started reading to Ryan since he was a newborn but like you’ve mentioned, his reading habits change as he grows.

I also wonder if she hears me when I read, can be quite demoralising when I try so hard to animate and be funny and she looks so uninterested. But must perserver to read to her, because I don't talk much to her (it is so difficult, I just don't know what to say to her, end up staring at her most of the time). So I am not alone!

I thought she was <a href="http://www.babycenter.com/refcap/baby/babyills/babytooth/11243.html" >teething</a>, but four months have passed, still no sight of any pearly whites yet. haha. I guess she is a late teether. But she didn't displayed extra dosage of crankiness or run any fever, so your baby might really be teething!
