Much to my extreme pleasure, Sydney has become very excited about books. She loves to pull out a book, walk over to you, turn around & plop herself in your lap. She points at the pictures exclaiming "Dat?" when something catches her eye. Once you're done with that one, she'll get up and grab another one. This can go on for quite some time. Sydney also likes to 'read' by herself. We often see her clamber on up into the rocking chair with a book, and just hang out for a few minutes. I've also found I can get some good mileage out of handing her a book while she's in her carseat.
Now, so you don't think I'm trying to tell you that I've got the makings of a child genius on my hands, the books we're talking about aren't novels. Think pictures of entertaining things: ponies, dogs, cats, bananas, goldfish....But, it's been interesting to see how the different stages of development sometimes just seem to appear overnight. One day, a book is just something to shove aside. The next day, it's a wealth of exciting information. :)
