The bouncy seat, or spider chair as we call it, was a source of comfort for Hayden, lulling him into nap after nap as a baby. Lila has napped in it, but didn't really care for it as a newborn. Now that she's bigger, she loves to sit in it and try to reach the spiders to put them in her mouth. She's a pro.
The exersaucer is another piece full of toys that Lila wants to put in her mouth. This is most useful in the kitchen, where she can watch me cook and clean but be a safe distance from anything that can hurt her...and still be entertained. The dogs don't quite know what to make of it when it's in the kitchen.
WHERE would we be without the bumbo seat?? Since she wants to be mobile, she doesn't like to be on her back for very long. She can't see everything that way! So we put her in the bumbo in the middle of the bed, or in the bathroom floor while I'm getting ready. Or, when we're blow drying her hair. Yes, you read that right. She gets the crazy hair which can easily be tamed with a round brush and the warm setting.
Recently we started putting the bumbo in the playpen so she can use this cool toy, a gift from my friend Jordan. It attaches to the playpen and adds a little stimulation to the prison-like mesh walls. But since she can't sit up yet, playpen + toy + bumbo = more stuff to entertain (read: more stuff to put in her mouth).
Last but not least, our friend the jumperoo. Some of you will remember the hours of fun this was for Hayden, and so far it seems like it will be no different for Lila. She's not quite tall enough for it yet, so we put her baby quilt under her feet for a little more length and she goes to town! She likes the ducks that spin and the book that flips but her favorite is the little tomato that's attached because (you guessed it) she can put it in her mouth.
