Last night we took Alan to Walgreens and Shoprite. This was the first time we'd put him sitting in a shopping cart. He isn't sitting well (kind of flops) but he did seem to enjoy the view at Shoprite. Maybe I need to get one of those shopping cart seat things.

Put him to bed with his acquarium on, under the quilt. Heard crying a little later, straghtened him out facing the top of the crib, recovered him, turned on the acquarium again and he fell back asleep. If only he could stay there all night. Somehow I end up getting him out the crib next to me at night (I don't even remember doing it a lot) and he nurses etc. with me the rest of the night :(

I've noticed Alan's idea of playing is waving a toy around or sometimes eating it. I tried to get him to play with the Lamaze acqarium which has 3 little things that can fit in it. He'd rather wave around the whole tank :(

This morning we watched Sesame Street. It's very up to date - Elmo gets e-mail! The letter of the day was H - with a James Brown animated collage singing. After the singing Alan made this kind of "haaar" noise. Probably just cooindicidence, but it was a letter H "word".

Tonight I have to go out after work with colleagues. To a bar with h'ord derves (or however you spell it). Not my choice of going out, but it was a reward for closing 2000 problem tickets in 6 weeks or so. DH will have to take care of Alan. It may not be done the way I want, but they'll have fun.

Hey! We have the aquarium too!

Which of the 'songs' does he like? So far the best one for Bryan is the last ocean noise one. He also seen to like the rock-a-bye one, but that song drives me crazy!

I don't know which one its on at the moment, I haven't seen a preference from Alan. They all have a new-agey/celtic feel in my mind.

Its only recently he took to the acquarium at all. When he was littler (2-3 months) he'd cry when it was on. He preferred the music from the kick and play piano. When that didn't fit in the crib so well, we used some CD's - then after getting the acquarium replaced (it stopped working) one day he took a liking to it, and just last week I discovered if we cover him with a blanket put the acquarium on he'll fall asleep with no fusses.

I wish the aquarium would play longer.
Zakkary recently (4 months tuesday) loves the Baby Mozart DVD... we had been showing him SO SMART for about one month now and just purchased this DVD.
We originally weren't going to do the TV thing... but he loves it.
We also have a lightshow on the ceiling for whenever he's ready but that doesn't seem to be quite yet.

I have the SO Smart tape (found by my MIL at a garage sale). Alan liked that and the baby mozart tape.

I think they need to make the acquarium play longer also. This is their second version of it, maybe for Version 3 they'll add that (plus maybe a remote...)

When I took Aaron and Hannah shopping I used to detach the car carrier and bring it in with me, and the part that clipped onto the base in the car fit nicely over the shopping cart handle. :-) It was a while before I let them sit in the carts themselves even when they were ready, because I got grossed out at the thought of all the germs from all those who had been there before. I'd forgotten all about that!

We don't use that carrier anymore as Alan got too big for it. (His daycare lady still has it, she feeds him in it.) But maybe I'll look for a cover.
