Weekly update


Not much to report on this week. Olivia is continuing to sleep through the night which makes for a happy family each morning. When I walk in her room and say "Good Morning" she smiles at me, it is a great way to start your day!

We are participating in "Mom and Baby" yoga classes...we actually have a class today. Some of the more active babies cause the Moms not have much of a workout but Olivia usually sleeps so I can actually exercise.

The evenings tend to be Olivia's fussy time...but for the most part she isn't too fussy. I think we are going to head to Babies R Us or Target in the next few days to purchase one of these. I think we might opt for Blue, I can only take so much PINK! These chairs are supposed to be good for babies and since she is almost 3 Months old she can use it.

We bought Olivia a play mat a few weeks ago and she enjoys playing with it. I have been putting her on her tummy and she can lift her head up and be on her forearms. I haven't been able to get a picture of this. She doesn't hold the pose for long and then she usually gets mad about being on her tummy...when she is upset she lets you know fast! I will post a picture of her play mat soon, the upload image function isn't working right this moring.


Hope everyone is having a good week!!

Hi Andrea,
Nice to hear things are going well!
I did some "research" here for you on your Bumbo. What I mean by that is I talked to Tim, they had their baby in Jan. He said if you buy the Bumbo it is $29.99 at BJ's.
Also if you buy it buy the tray that goes along with it. He said without the tray they can't bend down to reach toys etc. They also use it to feed their baby from. They put the seat on the counter top and set her in it and feed her from there. He says once the baby can move around, at least his, she tries to squirm her way out of it.

Also, he was on vacation in Virginia and someone had a "Johnny Jumper",they suspend from the doorway. His daughter loved it!!! I saw videos of it and she was just so dang cute just a bouncing and hanging out. He says the Graco brand one is the best. It has the tray around it which gave the baby something to hold on to and added protection from the doorway. You might see other styles and they are just the seat, no tray or protection around the baby.

There is my "research" for you!
Hope that helps you out!

Love Aunt Rita

We don't have a BJ's in NC but I will check at Costco, maybe they will have one. I have also heard about the Johnny Jumpers from a girl at Yoga. There are so many different gadgets and toys out ther for babies...it is amazing!

Thanks for doing your research for us!
