A comic book app!

I don't want to shill for much except books on this blog, but I do have to give a shout out to this pretty neat iPhone app I found last night called Halftone. It turns photos into little comic book panels with full customization for background paper, captions and speech bubbles. Along with being a bookworm, I am also a total comic book nerd. Our family's combined comic book collection is probably our biggest monetary asset. That can be pretty sad or pretty cool, depending on how you look at it. I prefer cool.

The best part about this app is it's free over the Labor Day weekend. I can already see myself spending way too much time playing with this app when I should be watching Bumpy. Wait, did I put that in writing? Oops, I meant after the kid's in bed.

The cure for the clumsy child

Fat lip? What fat lip?

Life for the Bouncing Bookworm has gotten quite a bit harder lately. As mentioned earlier, he's becoming more mobile but that doesn't mean he's good at getting around. In fact, he's horrible. He's like a little drunk man that wobbles on his feet, falls down hard and gets hurt constantly.

Oh, and did I mention he's a weepy little drunk man? Bumpy can pull up on furniture, but he hasn't figure out how to cruise so the whole process is extremely frustrating. He's finally gotten the knack of falling back onto his butt (extra padding courtesy of cloth diapers). However, even though he can stick the landing 95% of the time, he still likes to cry if it's an especially hard one.

Of course there are still the accidents.
