Bookworm

Having found the gift of motion, Alice has wasted no time in using her crawling skills to her advantage. She is now able to select the toys she would most like to play with/put in her mouth. and to get herself into favourite nooks and crannies where babies have no business.

I've spent the past week training her to come to heel and although she won't necessarily obey a vocal call to follow, she has now got lay of the land and is able to seek me out if she has, for example, been plonked in the lounge and I am washing up her mealtime debris in the kitchen.

We are having some camera/computer connection issues at the moment, so as soon as I can, I will post some photos of her pathways of destruction - all other toys disgarded so as to get to her pile of board books. She can often be found "reading" Bear Hunt and Peepo to herself - turning the pages and making the "Hooo Wooo" noise from the snowstorm in the story, as well as bouncing along to the rhythm of the remembered words.

In other news, her father went to Adelaide for lunch with work yesterday. Global Financial Crisis, anyone?
