He's getting bigger. He can sit up unassisted for at least a minute before tumbling over on his face.
For the last two weeks I searched high and low for two things: the highchair that clamps on to the table top and a baby walker. I thought it was a lost cause with the baby walker, someone had told me that they were outlawed. The exersaucer type deals are really expensive and I didn't want to spend so much money on something that he'll only be in for a few minutes a day. He doesn't like the bouncy seat much, will not sit in the swing, tries to tip over the Bumbo, gets bored on the floor and really just wants to sit up like a big boy. I just need something to put him in so I can do things like clean the shower. One day I was in Toys R Us (I have no idea why) and right next to the $100 exercauser-type deal was a $35 walker. Yes! He loves it.
Please note the paint sample in the background, there are seven more of them on other walls in our entry/living room. We STILL have not made up our minds.
So, I got the walker what about the highchair? I haven't seen one them since I was 10 years old and my mom's best friend used it with her kids. Were these no longer made? I found one while gawking at the $250 (and up) Tripp Trapp highchair on Amazon. I didn't want the fabric kind, they didn't seem to have much support for a kid still trying to sit up on his own. Finally, I found what I had been searching for.
That's right a highchair that is portable and fits in my tiny dining area. Look ma no legs!
