[OT] Yowlet Update
Cary is now 8 months old. He can't crawl yet, but knows how to pivot on his
tummy, and then roll to get wherever he need to go. Fluffy has learnt his faceoften has a good source of scroungable food and that Cary doesn't mind being licked so much as we do. so Cary usually has a clean face. He thinks being licked by the dog is hilarious. He also thinks Shmogg is pretty darn funny, and can imitate several different and distinct meows, although Shmogg does not share in his amusement for all things catly. The Yowlet's favourite thing to do is to bounce up and down, and to save our muscles we got a "jolly jumper" which is basically a big spring with a baby trap attached. You can hook it to a door frame, but we've bought the portable fram because our doorways aren't in good spots. He can bounce-bounce-bounce in that thing for hours, squealing with delight. The squealing can get a bit much on our ears, so we have adopted earplugs and have given up on any adult conversation till he's moved out of home. Still, we encourage the bounce-squeal-bounce-squeal activities because it wears him out (eventually) which means he'll go to sleep. If we don't wear him out of hte evening, he doesn't sleep, and then by definition, we don't either. His favourite TV show is "Bear in the Big Blue House". When the theme song comes on, if he was a puppy, his whole body would wag. He vibrates in sheer and total delight, and now we've got a BitBBH DVD, we can play the theme over and over and over and over.... which we often do. His toungue is hte newest thing in his repitoire. It doesn't stay in his mouth unless there's a bottle or pacifier in there with it. His toungue is always out of his mouth doing strange and weid things with his muscles. Its almost like watching a snake writhe around. WE aren't encouraging or discouraging it, hoping its just one of those phases kids go through, and he'll know if a few years that sticking your tongue ou tis not appropriate behaviour, unless of course you are a dog. Tonight we are off to buy some lights to decorate the house with, because Cary insited we did. Every time we have mentioned "Christmas lights" he has squealed with joy and gotten very excited. Although we figured we didnt really need to bother with Christmas this year as he's still far too young to understand any of it (including the "hey! you get presents!"), but he squeals with enthusiasm every time we even whisper "Christmas lights" within his hearing, so we consider ourselves told! The house will be decorated in Yule lights just as soon as Mummy & Daddy get some. Lucky he's so cute, huh? Yowie |

He sounds as though he's doing just fine - and you and Joel are being
properly trained. ;-) Joy "Yowie" wrote in message ... Cary is now 8 months old. He can't crawl yet, but knows how to pivot on his tummy, and then roll to get wherever he need to go.
