jump for my love

One of the toys my dad insisted on buying Lila when I was pregnant was a Jenny Jump Up. Otherwise known as a doorway jumper. He said it was my favorite toy when I was a little girl. We decided to put it together for Lila this weekend as she is just starting to enjoy standing up on her feet and bouncing.

First of all, this thing is deceptively difficult to put together. Too many pieces and I was super worried I wasn't doing it right. You know, since it was going to hold my child suspended from the ceiling. When I finally got Strap E connected to Bar 7, we put Lila in it for a test run. And she did not quite get the hang of it at first. Notice the feet dragging behind her and her arms sticking out awkwardly to her side.

Eventually we rescued her and put her back on her blanket on the floor. She doesn't seem that interested in leg strengthening just yet. She's way too busy eating her toys to worry about nonsense like that.

I came to get down, I came to get down

So get out your seat and jump around

Jump around, jump around, jump around

Jump up jump up and get down
