Ashley and MommyH, your babies are adorable!
Annie, I have a jumperoo. LO is too small for it, so I pad her with baby towels and put a Risk board game under her feet.
as long as her head control is good I'm sure you could put Bentlie in hers propped up. She's probably like all the lights.
My LO just stares, occasionally kicks, and chews her hands. Today she held on to one of the toys, but just held it while chewing on her fist.
She is mesmerized by the lights though!
Tomorrow will be a big day for Josalyn. In the morning we have a photo shoot
she's going to model some baby clothes for a small company.
And tomorrow afternoon/evening I'm leaving her with her daddy for about 4 hours to go have dinner with my bestie (it's an hour drive each way)
This will be the longest I've ever left her...I'm kind of dreading it because she will only really settle for me. OH tries, but she just won't for him except maybe once/week if we're lucky. :/ So I'm thinking its going to be a couple of hours of tears until she falls asleep... I hope not, but I'm afraid that's how it will be.
I feel so bad and guilty for being willing to leave her, knowing there will be tears. But at the same time, I need a break and OH needs to learn how to settle her. She also needs to learn to settle for him. Ugh.
ETA: my alternative would be I take her with me to dinner, which would be ok except that she hates car rides. She screams the whole time. So even if I took her, she would be screaming for 2 of the 4 hours I'll be away from home.
Wish her and my OH luck!
