Okay, this isn’t exactly local politics, but it’s funny as hell.
Here is a blog that is being kept up-to-date by the head speech writer for the Prime Minister. He’s doing the blog from his blackberry as he travels across the country with Paul Martin on the campaign trail.

Even if you hate his party, give the blog a read, it’s good for a laugh.

Well, I’m 3 months old today and there is so much new stuff that I can do, I think my mom is worried I will be going to college soon.

By the end of this month, I SHOULD be able to:

*on stomach, lift head 45 degrees – yup.
*follow an object in an arc about 6 inches above the face to the midline (straight ahead) – yup.

…will PROBABLY be able to:

*laugh out loud – sorta. You can tell I’m laughing, but I don’t always make noise and when I do it’s closer to a giggle than a laugh.
*on stomach, lift head 90 degrees – yup.
*squeal in delight – yup. Mommy loves hearing me do this.
*bring both hands together – I do this a lot now. When I first did it (mentioned in a previous post), it was more random than anything, now it’s not.
*smile spontaneously – yup, everyone has been loving my smile for a while now.
*follow an object in an arc about 6 inches above the face for 180 degrees (from one side to the other) – yup.

…may even be able to:

*hold head steady when upright – yup, see my last month’s post
*on stomach, raise chest, supported by arms – not yet, but I’m trying and getting close.
*roll over – nope, still trying. But mommy’s been helping me and it’s a really fun game we like to play.
*grasp a rattle held to backs or tips of fingers – yup. And I even play with it a little now.
*pay attention to a raisin or other very small object – Mommy still hasn’t tried this one with me yet, but I like to pay attention to everything now.

…may POSSIBLY even be able to:

*bear some weight on legs when held upright – I love doing this. Mommy does this for me when I’m fussy and it makes me feel better.
*reach for an object – Finally got this one down. I love grabbing my toys and pulling them up to my mouth.
*keep head level with body when pulled to a sitting position – not yet, but close.
*turn in the direction of a voice, particularily mommy’s – Not really. I can hear my parent’s but I’m not ready to turn and look yet.
*say ah-goo or similar vowel-constonant combination – yup. I do this along with laughing and squealing when I’m happy.
*razz (make a wet razzing sound) – I’ve done it once about a week ago. I might do it more soon.
