Jessicat and I have been sharing a mix of new books and old favourites so far in February. :
Rosie's Walk - Pat Hutchins. A book with almost no text, requiring some storytelling skills on the reader's part. Bright illustrations that Jess likes to look at.
Elmer's New Friend - David McKee. Did you know that he also wrote the TV series Mr Ben? I only found that out through an article in The Times recently about children's TV.
Cleo and Caspar - Caroline Mockford. Another treat from Barefoot Books.
What Can Rabbit See? - Lucy Cousins. Interesting to see a character in a book who needs to wear specs!
Meg and Mog Touch and Feel Book - Helen Nicoll. For some reason, Jessicat loves to point out the cauldron. Goodness knows what she makes of the concept of a witch!
Jess can now come downstairs by sliding on her tummy, and is rapidly becoming more confident at sliding backwards of the sofa. She had her MMR injections a few days ago, so I am a bit apprehensive about what that might lead to. She has been quite "full on" today, so I am looking forward to getting her off to bed shortly and sitting down with Heat and Private Eye.

Rainy January days
Elmer's Colours and Elmer's Weather - David Mckee. 2 more from the series that Jessicat enjoys. I just can't get over how camp the lion and the polar bear are in these books!
Bear's Busy Family - Stella Blackstone. The only one left in this brilliant series that we haven't yet read. These books are like catnip for babies. The illustrations are clear, bright and detailed, and accompanied by a short rhyme. Jess loves to pore over the books and point to all the objects she recognizes.
Otherwise, life goes on as usual. Jessicat and Dave are still enjoying their Wednesdays together, and are attending Starjumpers (gymnastics for babies). We are still sneaking cow's milk into her cup of formula milk with the intention of disposing of the formula all together over the next few weeks. Jess was 14 months on the Wednesday just gone. Still no sign of walking, though she is getting more confident using the walker to get around. I'm hoping when she finally does take off, she will be much less frustrated and clingy, as there have been some moments recently when I've been hanging in there until her bedtime!
