my dearest darling boy, Jasper
so much has happened in a few short weeks – your crawling has progressed into speed crawling, you’ve learnt to pull yourself up onto things (everything!) and you can maneuver yourself around things while standing!
it’s your very favourite thing to be on your feet – without your walker. you will stand for hours non stop infront of the tv (bad mummy!) or just hanging onto the couch and bopping away to your own beat.

a guy selling plantation shutters just knocked on the door.. asked to speak to the homeowner.
i told him i was the homeowner and, shocked, he didn’t think i looked old enough to own a home, lol. he told me he thought i was about 16 or 17. HA!
flattery gets you a smile, but it doesn’t get you a sales commission, sorry 😛
Hooray, my copy of Wonder Weeks arrived the other day (thanks Amazon!)… Reading through the first half, I realised I should of bought this book alot earlier 😛 but nevertheless, the chapters for the 37 week stormy period was pretty much spot on and again I find myself nodding at how this book explains what is going on in my little coconut’s head.
I tend not to be a book person – my idea of a book is the tv guide or a photographic essay – and when it comes to raising a baby, I don’t like to consult a book – but this one, I like. It doesn’t TELL me what to do (or at least, I don’t read it that way), it just offers a perspective on development and reactions. we haven’t changed his routine as we don’t think the routine is the issue, we’re just going with it. (Jasper did sleep through over the weekend, btw! enough to restore my sleep bank a smidgen)
