Your Baby Can Read Program

While I was pregnant I found this incredible deal on Craigslist. I got the entire Baby Einstein collection (26 DVD's) and the Your Baby Can Read program for $100. They were brand new and in sealed packages and I was so excited about this good deal! I hadn't heard much about the Your Baby Can Read program, but went online and found that it had really good reviews and worked for most people. It is a program that you can start as early as 3 months and on through five years and through repetition teaches your child to recognize the letters, sounds etc. Well, I have been feeling lately as though I should be spending more time with Lincoln on development. I know he is only two months old, but I don't think it can really hurt at all to work on his development early. So, this week I pulled out the Your Baby Can Read program and started the first dvd and the flashcards with Lincoln. I made sure to do it right after his nap, because that is when he is the most alert and calm. He paid attention to the DVD for about 15 minutes and we did flash cards for about another 10 minutes or so, and then again in the evening. I am sure he is more attracted to the bright colors than the actual word, but it is a program that works by being consistant. Here are some cute pictures I took of him.

On another note, he is sitting in his Bumbo all by himself! I still am sitting next to him when he is in it, because he occasionally looses some head control and droops his head down. Plus, I put the Bumbo on an ottoman and was nervous he might wriggle off...I probably am going to stop putting him on that, it makes me too nervous, but it was a good height to see the tv at.

Looking at the TV

Sitting in his Bumbo all by himself!! He loves those socks too...they have little bells inside the feet and he likes kicking his feet to hear them jingle.

Some of the flashcards we were working on...

I love his face here!! He was trying so hard to keep his head up! :)

With a little head support from mom...

lol, this was so cute. I have this book of Old McDonald that he really likes to read! We will sing the song and he always pays attention to the pictures in the book. Well, I thought since he likes that book so much that he might like the Baby McDonald (Baby Einstein) DVD. I put it in and the first animal to show up was a puppet rooster and it SCARED him really bad!! All of the sudden his lower lip started to quiver....

And in a second he was screaming! I couldn't help but laugh though because he is so cute!

Love this face!

Chubby cheekers!!

Here are some more tummy time pics. Lincoln hates when we do tummy time! I usually only get about 2-3 minutes before he starts getting mad :)

Starting to get upset

I rolled him over and this was the face I got

Which quickly turned into this!!

Here is a cute video of Lincoln "talking" to me while I was making dinner

Another cute one of Lincoln being really smiley!
