Bobby's Sunday Summary

Seeing how we wrote almost every day this week in the blog this will probably not add too much that is new. As you all saw Alice is mobile. A two hands one leg crawl is her preferred mode of transport when she is by herself. Although even as I write this she just crawled out of the room with an almost normal crawl, so we will have to see how she changes over time. She is very happy to walk, either holding on to one of our fingers, or if she sees something she really likes or if Mom or Dad are next to it she will walk there on her own. When playing with other kids she seems to forget herself and walk a lot more.

The rest of the week has mostly been work, which at least for me is not really something that needs writing about. Tuesday night we went out to a movie and got a baby sitter. It was a lot of fun to have just me and Susan to be by ourselves for a change. “The Golden Compass” was probably not the best pick. We both thought that the plot was incredibly weak, and that there was way too much violence. Even though all of it was CG violence it did not make it any better because on the upside the CG was very good.

Friday night we had friends over for dinner. It was a lot of fun. We had some adult conversations, and played some board games. I think this in part is what inspired Susan to write her, “Alice needs an older sibling“ post. Our friends have two little girls one is about two and the other is about five. They both really like to play with Alice and she loves to play with them too.

We also started to realize yesterday that I am going to have a whole week off for Christmas, and the only things we could come up with to do over the break was to watch movies and take Alice to different places to play. So in an effort to improve our vacation I really would love any ideas any of you have for things to do over the break either with Alice or things we can do after she has gone to bed. Suggestions for good movies both recent and old are also appreciated. Just add them to the comments link below.
