Bustin' out of the bouncy seat

If you saw pictures on our previous posts, you would have seen Adelynn trying to bust out of her bumbo. Well, we must have a little monkey on our hands. Dena babysat Adelynn yesterday and today while I was at a conference. I came to pick up Adelynn, and Dena asked me if I have seen her trying to get out of her bouncy seat. I hadn't, so Dena showed me pictures and then showed me what our little monkey was trying to do. Lately, Adelynn has been reaching for everything (the other day she grabbed a handful of napkins from our napkin holder and put them in her mouth). She took this to a whole new level today.

Dena said Adelynn would rock back and forth and throw herself forward so she could reach down to the ground. She would then push herself back up and sit back in her seat. I couldn't picture it, so Dena showed me. It was something else. Here are some pictures.

It looks like she is about ready to topple over here, but she really isn't. She's just grabbing at the sheets.

Here a little better picture of Adelynn grabbing for her pacifier. Take note of the toy underneath her bouncy seat. That toy actually belongs on the bouncy seat toy bar, but Adelynn has been in the habit of pulling off the toy, either with her hands or her feet.

Adelynn used the metal legs to pull herself down and push herself back up. It's amazing what this little five-month-old can do. How she can't sit up by herself but can move like this in her bouncy seat is beyond me!
