Bumbo Jumbo



This week baby girl met the Bumbo seat, a new discovery for our family. Last weekend I attended a baby shower where the guest of honor received this magical seat as a gift. I bought baby girl one as soon as I left the shower because it seemed like such a great idea. The seat helps infants strengthen their little core muscles and get used to sitting up. The Bumbo became part of the rotation this week, and baby girl really seems to enjoy it. She has to work a little bit to stay upright, so there is some "effort drool," which appears when she is doing core-strengthening exercises, like tummy time.

This week showed an increase in baby girl's verbal ability. She is quite the chatter-box! She now converses regularly using a variety of lip movements. Her little face is quite expressive, as if we just don't get the importance of all she is trying to convey. We can hardly stand it, she is so dang cute. Baby girl left her dad a nice message at work oooh-ing and goo-ing and oooow-ing and squealing. It is a super fun stage, and we are recording as many videos as we can of her exploits.
