Miss Emily isn't even 2 months old yet and has so much stuff!
A nursery full of furniture, toys, clothes and diapers... a travel system stroller... a bouncer... a swing... TWO play-yards... a gym... a sling... a Chicco baby carrier... a Bumbo... THREE high-chair seats... you name it, she probably has it!
So why, I ask you... after all of that... 100s upon 100s of $$$ worth of stuff... does she like the ONE thing that didn't cost anything!?
Her favorite piece is a simple bouncer that's 30 years old! Our neighbor Sandy lent it to us... all it is, is a metal frame with a piece of fabric on it and a belt. You use your foot to bounce it... which I'm doing AS I TYPE! This is the ONLY piece of baby gear that will make Emily happy 100% of the time... if she's fussing, put her in it. She'll be happy... and probably fall asleep.
As a matter of fact...
Here she is when I went on to the computer about an hour ago...
And here she is now...
Note: The awesome red, white and blue blanket was made by Grandma Tricia -- I love it!
Now... I feel I must say THANK YOU to everyone who gave Emily baby gear... she does use it all... don't think that the only thing she uses is this bouncer... it's just our go-to item for unhappy baby! ;o) Thanks, Sandy!
