Emmett has become too large for his bouncy seat... his weight pushes the seat too far back making him lie back too far, at the same time he is very anxious to sit up on his own. Result: he no longer likes his bouncy seat!
I went shopping this weekend to get him the next "level" of entertainment/sitting toy. Something like a stationary walker that he could sit in and stand in and play in while we ate dinner or cooked or did something else that is easier to do while baby is having play time outside of your arms ;)
Once at Target, it became quickly obvious that there isn't much out there for babies like Emmett. Every walker and stationary walker type toy had a 25 pound weight limit, Emmett was 21 pounds 2 weeks ago so I wasn't going to spend $50 on any of those contraptions. There was one with no posted weight limit, but the cost was $80 and the height limit was 30 inches. I don't know if everyone remembers this, but Emmett was 26 inches long two months ago! I am sure he is over 30" now.
So what to do? Emmett needed something new to hang out in, something that he could sit-up in with and without help. How about a high chair? (see pictures) It only took me a half hour to put together and it looks great in the dining room and he loves it! No more straining to do sit-ups in his bouncy chair or getting mad when he can't see something. The high chair was the ultimate solution, and he can even use it for eating someday ;)
