I'm kind of a minimalist when it comes to baby gear (unless you are talking strollers or carriers…eek!). But I realize that most baby things can be done without. In fact, we had hardly anything with Connor…living in 600 square feet will do that to you. With Isla I added a couple things - a full size swing and a play/activity mat. The swing was AMAZING and the play mat, though fun obviously not essential. Well, this time I added yet another baby gadget to the mix - a jumper/exersaucer. Ian's parents gave it to Callum for christmas. Up until this point, it's been sitting in a closet, still sealed in a box. Then this week, two of my friends that had babies around the same time, posted pictures of their kids in similar contraptions, so I thought I would pull it out.
Now, don't get me wrong, I am sure Callum is too small for it still. His little toes barely graze the ground on the lowest setting. And I had to have two blankets around him for support. BUT, he is totally happy in the thing. He even reaches for the toys. It is totally cute…I know, something only a mother would really find "cute". And I kind of can't wait to see him bouncing away in this thing…though I can at the same time, because I love me some squishy baby, but you know.
