Apparently, he likes to jump

Last Wednesday afternoon, I met up with two former roommates, Laura and Elise, whom I lived with in Palo Alto. We have all since gotten married and moved to Utah, and all recently had babies. Bennett has met Laura's baby Grace before, but this was the first time we got to meet little Madeline. I almost forgot how cute and cuddly they are at that age (she's 6 weeks now)! Laura made us some scrumpteous strawberry shortcake, and we had fun catching up and seeing the other babies. They're not all looking in the picture, but I at least caught two of them smilng.

Grace was kind enough to share her new Jumperoo with Bennett and he LOVED it! It kept him occupied for at least an hour and a half, which was especially impressive considering that he had been crying before we got there because he was hungry. He had so much fun jumping up and down, and it was great that the toys were right there for him to play with. After jumping and playing for an hour and a half, we glanced over because he had gotten quiet, and he had laid his head down on the tray and fallen asleep (he woke right back up, but still - it tuckered him out).

We decided that should be our next investment, so now Bennett has his very own jumperoo, and he loves it! When we were up at Nate's parents' house on Friday, Bennett's grandma Packer took me to go get one, and he was smiling and jumping the rest of the night. We had fun hanging out with Nate's parents too - they made us the most delicious steak dinner with potato salad, pasta salad, and fried zucchini / squash. Thanks for everything!
