Woo!hoo! for the Jumperoo

When Jordan started jumping when Dave and I were holding her, we knew it was time to get the Jumperoo. When she started jumping in her Exersaucer, we finally went to get the Jumperoo. Jordan immediately loved it. She jumps in it most evenings after day care, and I think it helps tire her out and helps her sleep. When she is coughing, she still won't stop jumping! The funniest is when she starts whining but stops whining to jump.


And when she takes a break from jumping, she is into the toys. She figured out very quickly that the green thing spins.

Jordan has now started whining when Dave and I leave her. Yesterday she was with Nana (my mom) and screamed for over 30 minutes when she had just been fed and had a clean diaper, so Dave and I had to go calm her down. Thankfully she was fine for the rest of the evening, night and next morning. Today she threw a fit every time MaMaw (Dave's mom) held her. She throws a fit at day care whenever one certain girl holds her, as well. I guess she is selectively throwing fits now, though she was great for us yesterday when we were meeting with contractors and the kitchen design guy at Lowe's.

We have been trying to feed Jordan cereal and baby food, and it is not going well. If any of you experienced parents have any advice, please share. Jordan is throwing a fit when we try to feed her and is spitting most of the food back out like she hates the taste. We've tried cereal and water, cereal and formula, cereal with baby applesauce and plain baby applesauce without success. Help!

I do not qualify as experienced, but the RaRu is and she said I would not eat cereal unless there were bananas mixed in it. Maybe that would work for Jordan, I don't know.

Glad the Jumperoo is a hit. We keep waiting for Vivian to be big enough for some of her toys - she just is a skinny baby and the toys just still seem too big - she does not seem to have enough butt for the seats to fit her comfortably.

Anyway, give us the low down on the house planning. I am excited for you all.

Maybe apple juice with the cereal? Or some cinnamon?? I'm not sure, my kids ate it pretty well until they had other foods, then they realized how bad that stuff actually tastes! Oh, and DO NOT give her the bottle first, make sure she's nice and hungry for something and she might eat it better. Then give her the bottle.

Good luck! Love the 'Roo, Ethan used to fall asleep in it, then when you went to get him out, he'd start jumping again like he was never asleep. Hilarious!
