Johnny Jumper and Other Fun Things

We got a Johnny Jumper for Corbin off of Craigslist and he's still getting the hang of it. When he first tried it out he kept rubbing the side of his head against the straps, so Mitzi put a blanket behind his head to keep him from getting a fabric-burn. This resulted in some funny pictures:


Corbin has also had a couple of funny "sucking-reflex" incidents over the past few weeks. The first occurred while we were over at our friends' house. Mitzi was holding him in a chair and he started sucking voraciously on her arm. He was grunting and grumbling and trying to get anything he could out of her arm until we made him a bottle. It was so funny. Sadly, we didn't get any of that on camera. But he has done it a couple of other times, and we did manage to get a few of those on camera. One involved Corbin deciding to suck on Mitzi's chin. To make things even better, moments after he stopped sucking, he decided to barf all over her. It was like Carole and Charlie (my sister and her St. Bernard) all over again:

Corbin also decided to try to suck something out of Mitzi's arm while she was cutting his fingernails before church:



The moral of the story is that we love our baby and think he is the cutest, funniest, and most enjoyable thing ever, even though he still spits up multiple times a day with little or no warning. But on the plus side, he's sleeping through the night every night nowadays! Hooray!

I think Corbin is one of the cutest babies I have ever seen. (Please don't tell Mya--she might get jealous.)

I am dying to see him jump in that johnny jumper!!! My last craigslist purchase stood me up last saturday, im really confused why someone would post an ad to get rid of something and then commit to meeting up to get paid for it - then vanish. DUMB!!! And now I dont have a jumperoo of my own for corbin to play in when he comes over.

Those are some great pictures. I love the one where he's sucking on your chin. It was so good to see you guys and to meet Corbin. I still can't believe the size difference. Hope your birthday party and Cannonball went well, Scott. We miss you guys.
