Having Fun In Her New Chair

Look at those monkey-toes!
Isn't she sweet?
Hello all!
I will often look on www.babycenter.com to see what questions and tips other March 2006 moms have on their minds... Reviewing everyone's answers has been quite helpful to me. One of the questions recently was, "What was the one thing you could not live without within the past few months?" Many moms responded stating their "Bumbo chair" is a must-have.
I had never seen or heard of this strange little seat until other moms posted pictures of their little ones in their Bumbo chairs. When I inquired about "The Bumbo" at Babies 'R Us, I learned the store can't stock enough of these chairs. They sell like hotcakes.
This past Saturday, some of the ladies and babies in our small group got together for lunch in the historic district of Roswell. We ate at the Fickle Pickle and then meandered along Canton Street, perusing through the shops. (It was a scorcher! I would say the humidity-filled Georgia summer days are here to stay). At a children's consignment store at the end of our journey, I saw a Bumbo chair. It was marked $15-off the retail price, so I was a happy camper and made the purchase.
Ava seems to like it for a short period of time, after which she will tense-up as if she wants to stand (she might think she can, these days :-). The seat is good for teaching a baby how to sit, while also giving them the support they need so they don't topple over onto their head. The attached pictures are of Ava in her "Bumbo" seat.
The Polish Crawl:
I joke with Doug that Ava has a "Polish crawl". Her little legs are so strong, she looks like she is doing a "push-up" with her legs (straight), but she doesn't move her head or arms off of the ground. So, she somehow scoots a few inches with each semi-"Polish crawl", grinding her face into the blanket. Somewhat effective, yet it looks exhausting. Hopefully her arms will be strong enough soon that she can use them to move her body forward. Then she'll be all set!
We received some much needed rain here in Georgia over the past few days. Not much rain compared to those on the Eastern seaboard, although our rain seemed like quite the "downpour" to us. We hope you're staying cool and dry...
With love,
Shelly, Doug and Ava
