One of the moms brought a Bumbo (blue thing beneath Dylan) to lunch at the brew pub last Friday and, wow, she was able to eat with two hands! I gaped and marveled at the utility of the thing while another mom/Bumbo-owner went on to share with us that she was able to cook by placing the baby on the counter (in the Bumbo) where they could see one another, etc., etc., so all were happy!
After seeing and hearing for myself, I went home and ordered one which just arrived today!
Seeing as we’re prepping 5 soups in 4 days for Tom’s upcoming 29th bday/soup party, I was really happy to try it out while I did some soup-making prep.
Well, Dylan enjoyed it, as is obvious from the picture, but only for about 5-10 minutes…
Bummer, says me, but I’m not about to give up! Maybe he’ll like it more next time….And, anyway, I managed to finish the prep I wanted to do by cycling him through the Bumbo, the exersaucer and finally, carrying him around in the good ol’ mei tai. So, if anything, at least the Bumbo offers another option which will buy me a few minutes here and there…!
