I do not know one single child that this contraption isn’t a hit with.  The Jolly Jumper has made it’s way back out of storage for our littlest Harvey, and she loves it!  It sure beats rolling around on the floor, desperately trying to move somewhere, anywhere! 

I would also like to take this opportunity to note the drool.  The drool on her chin, the drool on her dress, the drool on the Jolly Jumper and the drool on the floor.  This is a good drool day.  By now (it’s almost 4pm here in Brisbane) she has been through a few changes of clothes and numerous bibs, just because of all the wetness!  Today she has managed to stay dressed like this ALL DAY.  It’s amazing!!!

As I sit here and type this post, Reuben has decided that the Jolly Jumper is a swing and Ella thinks it’s hilarious.  I, however, do not.  So Reuben getting in trouble is doubly funny to her.  

She has also just got the hang of bouncing and spinning in the Jolly Jumper.  Smart little chicken :)

Ella has also started eating ‘solids’.  A term so loosely used here.  Rice cereal and pureed fruit/veg is not solid.  It’s gross.  She LOVES it.  She LAUGHS through her meals.  Seriously.  This kid is one happy person almost all of the time.  Who laughs through their entire dinner?  Only Ella :D  Maybe it’s to counteract all the drooling, but she does not spill, spit or generally waste a single spoonful of the stuff.  Personally, I’d be feeding it to our non-existent dog under the table!  I’m not complaining though, her making meal time easy counter acts her brothers making meal time loud (Reuben) and long (Owen).
