Escape Artist 101

Apparently my son is the instructor for this class. Despite the fact that he has yet to "cruise", he is finding ways to move and manipulate that continue to shock me. Just this week he has figured out how to untie the bumper on his crib (which is higher than your standard bumper) and how to pull the mobile down so he can play with it. This morning I sat him in his bumbo (see attached picture) to play while I made my toast. You might be asking, "What is a Bumbo?" Well, a Bumbo is a seat for babies to sit in before they can actually sit on their own. Very cool idea. The Bumbo is also made out of sturdy foam so baby doesn't hurt his head when he smacks it on the seat. The package to the Bumbo says that Baby cannot fall out or get out on his/her own. The Bumbo originated in South Africa, but has recently become very popular here in the US (so popular that Target has started selling them). Isaac is borrowing this Bumbo from his sweet friend Morgan. This morning he was playing in his Bumbo with his TV tray and toys. I stepped ten feet away into the kitchen to make a simple piece of toast. Upon returning to the living room sixty seconds later, I found Isaac out of his Bumbo, laying on the carpet with a big grin on his face. Tomorrow who knows where I will find him....Perhaps out by the mailbox, digging in the dirt

(Side Note: We normally do not make our child wear hats inside, especially hats that resemble something the Pope might wear. However, the particular hat featured in the above pictures went with his pajamas that morning and we couldn't resist him trying it on. Don't you wish you had a hat that coordinated with your PJ's?)
