Movement and Literacy – or just a rambling tired mommy.
Ry-guy crawled backward this week!
He can move forward too, but it’s more of a face-skid. He pushes with his feet and slides across his blanket on his face.
My parents’ neighbour made him a beautiful quilt and he (and the dogs and cat so it’s really clean) have spent lots of time crawling around all over it.
I got down to eye level and caught some great shots of him. Here’s a collage I made using flickrtoys. It’s my new addiction. Thanks to chelle for the link. (PS – Go check out her news today!!)
It’s the time of year when I would normally be in my classroom 10 hours a day getting ready for September. I don’t miss it. I have my own teaching and learning to do with my little man. Here are some shots of early literacy at it’s best…
We have had lots of teeting action in the past week. After working up to 11 3/4 hours of sleep at night, last night he went to bed at 10:15, woke up screaming at midnight, nursed back to sleep and then was up at 6:15 am swimming in a puddle of drool. Which, incidentally, is what I did yesterday while at the hospital with my dad. Swam in drool, I mean. He was soaked.all.day. I got this great little vibrating star thingy for him to chew on and he rather enjoys it. It has one drawback, however. He happily chews on it for a minute or two and then, when he pulls it out it is followed by a waterfall of drool that I am never prepared for. Ahh, the joys.

hehe teething … so much fun!!
I am glad you enjoy the Flickr toys. I am addicted as well!! I have a crush on Flickr!
Thanks for the link … We are really excited!
I need to go to bed way earlier but I can’t because I’m playing with flickr!

Great pictures! I love the one of him surrounded by all the books! Hope the teeth come in soon so the drool and pain will go away!

Adorable literacy picture.. and “I love you forever” … one of my all time faves!
What a cutie … and hey, if drooling is all you have to worry about in the way of drooling, I’d say you’re doin’ pretty good!
So far, so good. But he’s only 16 weeks old!

Very original pic! I noticed your baby’s super cute red robeez and I have say, aren’t they the best shoes ever invented? I have no plans of putting my 16 month old in anything else for a long time; I can tell he’s very comfortable in them. And his fat feet don’t get squished.
