Roll Over Baby Beethoven
Published May 4th, 2004 in Quickies, WordsAngie called just a little while ago to tell me that Simon rolled over for the first time, from his stomach to his back. This news has filled me with more joy than anything since his first gummy little smile. Praise the Lord for little babies.
Babies Eat Time Like Candy
Some of you probably think I should write more. I agree. Toward that goal, I’m going to make an effort at posting more frequent, shorter entries. When I can find the time I’ll still weigh in with some big ones, but in this case I think increased frequency is worth the loss of some depth.
Speaking of Baby Beethoven
Simon loves his Baby Beethoven DVD. He’s not to the point of squealing in delight, but it will certainly keep his attention longer than anything else short of his (apparently new) hands. He stares at them now, to the point of going cross-eyed. Maybe he’s attracted by their glistening coat of drool. Soon we begin The Teething.
Megan can roll to one side — most often her left side. She can push herself up when she’s on her tummy.
Last night, which would be 05/11/04, Megan started talking for quite a while. She was making all sorts of talkish babbling noises.
Simon still has yet to roll over again… I guess he was just teasing. But he’s very vocal, often making his little monkey noises for extended periods of time, in between smacking on his hands.
Tummy Time is quite entertaining, as he pushes himself up and acts like he wants to get going somewhere. Today was his four-month-old doctor’s visit (more on that later), and the doctor said he acts like he’s ready to start scooting around. Time to start baby-proofing…
Babyproofing?!?!?!?!
Do you know some people make a living as “babyproofing consultants”, charging hundreds or thousands of dollars to help parents babyproof their homes? Nice work if you can get it!
Fortunately, we won’t have to worry about babyproofing until we’ve moved into the new homestead, which will be much easier to babyproof than where we are now. I refuse to spend any money on a place I don’t own.
