Good magazines

Have managed to track down a couple of magazines devoted to the subject of children's literature: Carousel and Books for Keeps. Both of them contain a lot of useful information about how children learn to read, and more importantly, lots of reviews of recently published good books. This is especially useful at the moment as I am compiling a wishlist of books for Jessicat and me to share over the coming months.

Have also managed to create a page on myspace (does my technical genius know no bounds?!?), where I hope to be able to make more contact with people who share my enthusiasm for children's books.

Other than that, not too much to report. Jess can finally roll over both ways, and is now trying to crawl, but with no success so far. Still only two teeth, although to judge by the dribbling and biting, more may be imminent. She continues to persevere with lumpy food, and enjoys tit bits of our plates now.
