I can't believe it is already the day before Ryker's first Christmas. It blows my mind that he is a few days shy of seven months old! My little guy loves standing on our laps, yelling very loudly to let us know he is awake in the morning and he giggles like crazy if you kiss his belly. He's basically amazing. We saw the pediatrician earlier this month for his six month check up and after all of my first mom "Is this ok? Is that ok?" kind of questions, the pediatrician said "I hate to tell you this, your son is absolutely perfect." His adjusted age would put him closer to just over five months but you would never know it! He's met all of his milestones and he has stayed on the weight and height scales for his birth age so we are all good.
For Christmas, we got Ryker some new books to read before bedtime and a Fisher Price Jumperoo. I searched a whole bunch of reviews and such before I chose which bouncer/exersaucer whatever you want to call them, and the jungle Jumperoo looked like a good choice for us! He likes it for a good chunk of time and then he all of a sudden doesn't like it and is very adamant about getting out. His poor little legs barely reach the floor on the lowest setting, so I think he just gets frustrated. We put the batteries in it for the lights and sounds but we barely ever turn them on, luckily they can be switched on and off and we don't have to constantly listen to it.
Funny story...our nanny fills out a little form for us everyday with his naps, diapers and his activities for the day. She would always write "30 m en el bricolin" which I read as "brineolin" for the longest time. Of course, since I'm pretty sure brineolin isn't a word, I couldn't find anything about what it was or why you would spend 30 minutes with it. I finally asked a friend at work that speaks Spanish about it and she was like "No! Brincolin, it's the jumper!" So, after learning the origins of brincolin, we now only refer to the Jumperoo as el brincolin. It's just so much more fun to say!
He's starting to enjoy his Bumbo chair more. He doesn't have a whole lot of interest in sitting up on his own, he'd rather be standing so we'll see how long it is before he's just sitting. The Bumbo seems to help a little! A friend from work got us Sophie, the giraffe teething toy and his little friend, this crazy nipple/mushroom looking guy that Ryker really likes. If I put the tray on the Bumbo and put his toys on there he is a pretty happy guy!
We're taking the little guy on his first trip to Colorado soon, I'm so excited for him to see snow for the first time!
