We talk to our children and babies on a daily basis so it is never to early to share a story.
As soon as baby is born, start reading. Never too early.
A few times, I come across a little one talking their own language. I love to have a simple conversation with them about whatever they are saying in easy words. "Your shoe? Yes, there is your shoe. Is it on your foot?" Somehow they seem to jabber all the more excitedly, "like wow, this lady is understanding me". Take every opportunity to engage. Turn it into a song is another tool that we use.
