jumperooooooo

a few months ago i went in on the purchase of a jumperoo exersaucer with my friend ingrid - her little boy is about 5 months older than milo so the timing is great - riley grew out of it just as milo is getting old enough to start using it.

i brought it home last night and he looooooves it. sat in it for about a half hour and just goggled at everything. the seat is suspended on springs so it moves whenever he does, causing a chain reaction of rattles and squeaks and as soon as we get batteries, flashing lights. he can *almost* touch the ground to bounce and spin, I don't think it'll be much longer.

The coolest part though is that it seemed like he was actually trying to grab for stuff! I'm sure when he starts pulling things off the table and spilling drinks we'll long for the 'non-grabbing' days, but right now it's very cool to watch him become more aware of his surroundings.

Daycare is going well. I've started to bring bottles for his morning and afternoon feedings and go over there around lunchtime to nurse him. It's been working out perfectly, except for the mornings when he sleeps until 10 AM and then isn't hungry again until 2 or 3. it doesn't happen too often, but it definitely throws my schedule out of whack when it happens.

i have some video of it as well, i'm kind of waiting for harold (roger's replacement) to be ordered and arrive before I do more video as it takes up so much space. but never fear, it will be posted!

Wow--does he look like he has grown up. Seems to prefers the whole hand to the thumb! Glad to hear day care is going well. You are so lucky to have him so close. Please keep those photo's coming--don't want to miss a stage (in pictures)!!
