Indeed...though he IS an Irish Carroll after all. *big grin* Those jumpy-things are for what; to help babies learn to walk--and give mom and dad a mini-break now and then? We used one with my sister now and then, but I never really understood what it was for. (Dy learned to walk mostly by us holding her hands and helping her get the idea. Ah...memories...:)

Very, very cute. He looks as if he is alternating between having a great time, and swearing eternal vengence. :)-

I don't know if it's supposed to be a developmental tool or not, I just know the little man likes to stand up and jump. Perfect fit!
Rabbit trail: Baby Einstein and other such things are good, but I think if you just spend time engaging your child they will get the same "edge" as all the super-stimulation that goes on with the learning toys out there. I have a feeling someone (i.e. "the Man") is making a pretty penny exploiting all the insecurities of competitive mothers. That said, perhaps Simeon won't realize that cows say moo! as early as little Polly down the street. How will he ever get into Harvard!? Just a (very cynical) thought ;) Sorry for the ramble.

I totally agree Ranty Ruth!! That being said, my Dr. has suggested putting Harison in this to help w his trunk muscles. The twins are both a little behind in sitting etc. I just love watching them in it! Though, I HAVE thought choice words getting them in and out! :oP
