Luv the bumbo

Everyone loves the bumbo. It allows the kids to sit and watch Baby Einstein DVDs or play with toys. We started putting the kids in the bumbo when they were 3 mos old. Chelsea always liked it least because she likes to see everything going on around her and does not like feeling confined. (Potential control freak) If Colman is to her left, she watches him and tries to grab his bib or blanket or touch his face. He will sit, watch the video and suck on his fingers for quite some time. It is fun watching him react to the DVD. He smiles when the animal faces show up on the screen. There is a green dino puppet that suddenly sticks out his tongue and says "Blah". It startles Colman every time and he jerks his head back slightly. He startles quite easily. Getting Colman out of the bumbo is funny. He has got such chunky thighs, the middle piece gets stick between his legs.

Good times in the bumbo.

But now the kids are sitting on their own so well. Chelsea will only stay in it for a short amount of time. But it is still a way to contain her since she is starting to army crawl. (more on that later) Colman is sitting up on his own like a champ. Still, on occassion, when he is tired, we will stick him in it. But he also rebels against the confinement of the bumbo. They will make their body straight and lift their bum up. Neither one has yet to escape.

So long good times in the bumbo.
