Literary appetite

Ezra loves books. To eat. He is as uninterested in books as Avi was at this age. What doesn't mean much in terms of predictions as Avi is practically reading to himself these days and loves to be read to book after book. But whenever I try to read to Ezra, he just wants to grab the book and get it on his mouth. Actually, that's what he wants to do with anything, blocks, toys, our hands, faces, food, spoons, musical instruments. Just about everything I can think of except the talking Elmo doll, which he expresses his appreciation for in the more traditional way, with giggles and smiles.
