Jessicat's Second Holiday

We are just back from a week in Weymouth - hence the title. It was a lovely week, and most momentously of all, Jess finally managed to crawl!!! I would like to say that this has marked the end of a period of frustration for Jessicat and us, but first Dave and I have to get down to some serious baby-proofing!

More developments: Jess can say "mama", "dada" and "nana", though not always to the right person. She continues to enjoy blowing raspberries, stetching up high and waving on command. Pleasingly, despite her new found mobility, sitting on Mummy's lap for some books is still one of her favourite activities, and one of the few things that calms her when she is grumpy.

This week's selection includes:
Busy Airport - Rebecca Finn. Jessicat is attracted to the flaps and levers, but the pictures are too busy for her to take much in.
Teatime with Woof - Caroline Jayne Church. Lovely pictures, with a small amount of text, and the ever welcome different textures.
The Very Busy Spider - Eric Carle. At first, Jessicat was not interested in this, but after several readings, is beginning to show more interest.
Noisy Poems - Collected by Jill Bennett. An old favourite, with some poems that could sit equally well in an adult anthology.

Jessicat is now over 10 months old, and we are on the countdown to toddlerdom!
