Babies love Bumbos! (13 Weeks, 6 Days)

I have succumbed to baby gear. My living room is well equipped to serve as a daycare. There are at least five pieces of furniture for Zeke to sleep in. The dog doesn't set a paw in the nursery lest she set some gym playmat or toy off. My house virtually moans and sags under the weight of Zeke's Fisher Price toys. I wonder if we will ever again have a room that is free of evidence that we have a baby.


I understand it is a blessing, especially as 90% of it is hand-me-downs (love those!) We have done some shopping of our own, though. That includes the purchase of the must have Bumbo seat. We bought one for Zeke as a 3 month birthday gift this week. It is a basically a foam bucket seat that helps babies sit up as soon as they can hold their head up. Zeke seems to mainly be immune to the joys of sitting upright, but we sure get a kick out of seeing him sit up so early.


Check out the little Thinker! Here he is pondering the difficult questions: "Why are diapers covered with lovable cartoon characters? Is it nice to poo on Pooh?" OR "Why is Noah's Ark a popular motif in children's clothing? Is an apocalytpic story a little dark for a onesie?" OR "Why do my parents have their precious baby perched so close to the edge of the coffee table?"

Yeah! Happy Father's day Aaron!

I bet Zeke is calculating the percentage increase in food allowance during "new sitting state" as compared to that of all other states. Probably not as high as the increase of potential photo-ops.

Zeke looks absolutely adorable in his bumbos! I'm waiting for the day when Chris can hold up his head on his own. Been thinking about you all and will email you soon! Take care!
