Jump, Jump, Jump Around ...

This last weekend, we set up a few more toys in our house for Sophia. We have noticed that she is very strong and that she LOVES to stand up, so we thought that she might get some use out of her "jumperoo" and start enjoying her activity bouncer.

Obviously she doesn't quite understand that she can spin around in the bouncer, but she likes everything that is hanging from it and the music that it plays. And of course, she likes that she can touch the ground with her feet.




The jumperoo was even more surprising for us. Sam never really cared too much for it, but I can tell that Sophia is already liking it. I have to be careful with Sam though because she seems to think that it is a swing and that she can push her sister in like we do with her on the playground.



With the jumperoo, Sophia pushes around in a circle using her feet to propel herself. No jumping -- yet -- but she sure is happy when she is in it. And I happen to like where we placed it in the house because when Sophia pushes around, her feet get to touch and sense both the carpeting and the wood floor. I'm sure that that is very interesting for her.



And, just because I think that it is fun to look back and remember how small Samantha once was ... here is a comparison of both girls in the jumperoo:
