The Jumper


Bix really loves to jump. She has been doing so even before she was born (trust me on this) We have been trying to put her in her jumper ever since she was strong enough to hold up her head. The jumper clearly states that is for babies 4 months and older, but we figured she was advanced and could handle it. We have been trying for a month and a half and now that she is actually 4 months old...she is still too small.
You have all seen her, she is no skinny baby. How chunky must she be to weigh enough to have her feet touch the ground? Oh, yeah, in case you couldn't tell from the snap...her feet are about 5 inches off the ground. (and we have adjusted it all we can...this is as low as it gets without precariously rigging it)
As if we don't have enough of a problem with childhood obesity in this country. Now in order for our baby to play (actively, and get some exercise) she has to be fatter?
It doesn't make sense to me. What do you think?


Until she gets bigger she will have to continue to enjoy the jumper the only way she can...as a swing.

Gwenda says that you need a lower doorway!!
She also said that your baby is super cute!

I say...don't worry about it. She has the rest of her life to exercise!
