Also, Cinn, I am assuming that everyone with a baby has an exersaucer:

Personally, I like the jumpy thing Julie put up instead of the jumpy thing that you hang in a door frame. I wouldn't get one of those because I was afraid of it falling.

Please con't call child services on me but Sam loved his walker that was a hand me down of a hand me down of a hand me down. The thing is totally slanted, off balance, and in horrible shape but it's in storage for Myla to use. We have a good size kitchen that really is most of our main level and it's hardwood flooring and just perfect for zooming around behind mom. If it craps out on me I just might cry. LOL I LOVED the walker!!

LOL - Our oldest girl loved her walker (it was a hand me down as well). She used to scoot peacefully around in it under our careful supervision. So we looked forward to something similar when her little sister came along. No way … crash … crash and crash!!! After three minor mishaps the walker went away.

Julie, I do have the Jumperoo and its been great. My little one absolutely loves it..but we don't have an exersaucer, no doubt I'm the only one. I'm all on one level so a walker would have been perfect.....

Ahhhh - reading all of this brings back so many fond memories of all the baby stuff we once had. For us the vibrating chair, swing (any kind) and exersaucer were a MUST have. LOL Spit - the new house addition is NOT for a new family addition... no way!! We just sold all that baby stuff mentioned above. Starr sleeps in an open "loft" room at the top of our stairs, so the new bedroom will give us 3 bedrooms, plus the loft which we'll use for a playroom, or computer room... The loft will now be off the new master suite - Neil and my retreat from the rest of the house (I love Extreme Makeover Home Edition)... Sorry for going off topic there. Back to all the great baby stuff talk.

Julie, the jumperoo has 4 adjustable heights. very very easy to change, can do it while they are in it even. My guy is just 9 months old and hes almost finished with it, once they can stand...its game over...I imagine just like an exerscaucer

Let's face it, the whole "game" is over when they start to walk. Mobility really complicates things!!! Never do understand why moms are so happy when their kids take the first step!!! Gets way harder after that!!!

Julie I have both a baby saucer and a jumperoo. She loved the jumperoo and has since gone to a walker, like this one:

My girls have it all. I have a big family who always try to out do eachother, and then my sister and my two best friends all have kids within a year or two of mine. BTW: DD2 started standing up today. Sniff sniff....she's got to keep up with her big sister. ETA: The walker can be made stationary too. The one downfall for me is Emma is always following (chasing) the cat and me, and running into my ankles has proven to be very painful.

Julie in my experience with Sam it was more like "game-on" when Sam started to walk. He is a really busy boy and was not really a happy baby until he had mobility....read that to say he was a bear. I know I'm probably one of the few mom's who say that having their baby learn to walk saved their sanity! LOL!! The good thing is that he never really "go into things" he just wanted freedom to move as he pleased and he had no intention of crawling.

Julieboo, my dd loved her Ocean Wonders Aquarium Cradle Swing (wow, that's a mouthfull ) She loved swinging from side to side, not so much back and forth. I liked the fact that I could adjust the speed, volume, etc. ButterBaby also liked to just sit (without the swinging motion) listening to the music and watching the fish move in the aquarium. In fact, she still likes music and aquariums--she's just moved on to bigger fish

Lisa, What a beautiful family picture. The kids are so adorable and growing like little weeds. I absolutely love the picture of Starr hugging her cousin. What cuties.
