Johnny Jump Up

Ever since I first saw a child in a Johnny Jump Up I knew I had to have one for any kids of mine. Kids love 'em, but truly they're for the parents! This is one of Lydia's first times in the Jump Up. She hadn't quite figured it out at this point. She's still working on it, actually. She mostly likes to lean and swing in large circles, spinning around and around. She's too small for the seat, so we stuff receiving blankets around her chest to keep her from flopping back and forth. You can see one of the blankets spilling out the leg hole on her right side.

Even though she doesn't yet understand how much mobility she has in this contraption, I think it's one of her favorites. It certainly keeps her happy while we get a moment to eat or read a section of the newspaper...okay, part of an article if we're lucky. : )
