I liked the books but they do not ship to Slovakia 

you might try to search on ebay , and ask the seller if they would ship to Slovakia.
Today I was browsing for easy readers and found this auction:

Hi Nadia! It's been a long time! So happy to see the progress your angels have made. You're doing a fantastic job!   Preschool prep videos also helped us a lot. Cammie was fascinated by it before and so is Soren now (4mos old). It's just that sometimes, the voice-overs sound very stern that sometimes my baby boy would get startled and cry. I wonder if sounding the voice-overs that way has a purpose?

Hey, V  !

So great to have you back!!  I was wondering how you guys were doing!
Congratulations on your Baby Boy Soren!!! When I  was watching  Cammie's speed-reading video and heard loud baby-babble - quick thought passed through my mind that must be Cammie became a big sister, but I never expected for it to materialize 
I will PM you my e-mail, so we can stay in touch!

I did not do anything structured with my son until he turned 9 months, so I am sure you will be way ahead of us.
At the moment I am doing LR/LM/ LCh/ Reading Bear and Signing time with him...

Yes Cammie is a big sister already! Oh don't worry about structured teaching. In my opinion (and also mentioned in Doman's book), babies can learn anything that is presented in an honest and loving way. In my experience, planning a structure in itself consumes a lot of time and adds stress.    I tried and there are so many factors that can alter the schedule I set so I just followed her interest. I just made sure materials are available everywhere we go (flashcards under the stroller, letter number foams in the bathroom, whiteboard in the backpack, etc). We also didn't follow the rule for retiring cards and videos, I just followed her interest and trusted my instinct. The only structured material we used is the LR curriculum     

Are you planning to show your DS and DD the Glenn Doman Pict Dictionary? It's a great way to learn general knowledge, reading, and has options for other languages too. I'll be following your blog Happy teaching!

I totally agree with you about structured teaching 
Especially with a new baby....
  Long time ago I decided to myself: " I will never again will waste my precious time and brain power on feeling guilty for the things that are not done!
I will stop myself right there on the spot and just will focus on the things that can be done today, and plan for tomorrow"...
This decision make my life much better, and now I am getting much more things done.
I agree that the key to success in early learning is to Enjoy any learning activity with your child, because they will learn and retain way more new material this way!
Of course it helps to be organized, but life does happen, and  our schedules, programs change...
But as long as you know where you are going and why, you will get there..
I do plan to show my kids the Glenn Doman Pict Dictionary, but at the moment I am doing TweedleWink lessons with them twice a day, and we are on Lesson 18 today, so we still have another month with the TW course.
