Bumbo

Johanna hasn't been enjoying sitting in her boppy like she used to, she is always trying to pull herself up into a sitting position. For those of you that aren't familiar with what a 'boppy' is, it's the pillow that you can wear around your tummy to provide support while holding a baby/nursing/etc. Today we decided to try out a bumbo chair. We hadn't gotten one yet so Jeff and Johanna went on their first outing together without Mommy to pick one up. (And to stock up on some more tissues since I had blown through our supply.) After Johanna was nice and full and with a clean diaper they headed out on their own. Even though I knew they would be fine it was nice to see that she returned an hour later still as happy as a clam. Looks like Johanna and her Daddy will have to go on more outings together. We plopped her in the bumbo and she really seemed to enjoy it!

She loves feeling different textures with her finger, feet and especially face. Now that she can pick things up that we put in her lap she is constantly shoving things in her mouth, like this fuzzy little blankie from Jeff's Aunt Elaine. I guess it's time to start checking out all her toys, blankets and dolls to make sure they are baby friendly!

  1. What great pictures. I love the one with her tongue sticking out :) I'm glad she had a nice trip with her daddy. It's so nice to have the option and know they can both do just fine!

  2. A purple bumbo i just love it. Looks like she enjoys sitting up all by herself. Sounds like you might be on the mending end of this Colorado cold.

  3. I must say, the Overman gene has taken over. Johanna looks exactly like Jeff when he was a baby. I just love watching these babies grow up on these blogs.
    I'm so glad she is feeling better.
    Those bumbo seats are the best.
    Keep posting pictures, I love it.

  4. She is perfect-although, she is loosing those kissable cheeks!;) I agree with Miss Kara-the tongue pic is my fav! Isn't the best feeling knowing that she can go out with someone else with out you and be okay! I was so paranoid at first, but now father daughter bonding times=mommy time to herself-ENJOY IT GIRL!!!!
