Mama scored this jumper for only $15 at the local children’s thriftstore. Mabel seemed to like enough, but hadn’t yet figured out the jumping part (she mostly liked to chew on the ropes). However, Mama turned around and caught her bouncing and smiling so proud.

Mabel is eating solids each night for dinner, and when Mama has the energy, for breakfast as well. She still eats everything she’s given and absolutely loves to drink water out of her cup. She is simply giddy when she sees her cup presented in front of her.
She sometimes rolls continuously, but always appears surprised at her accomplishment. Sitting up doesn’t seem to be her priority, but she can sit for about 10–15 seconds at a time. She much prefers her belly and playing with her toys. Though no teeth, she continuously chews whatever she can reach—including Daddy’s hands.
She attempts to crawl, and then giggles with pride. Mostly, she slides backwards, but she seems to get closer each day. She can definitely pull herself across the floor with finesse–especially when a toy is tempting.

Daddy likes to make funny noises with his mouth…Mabel cheers him on! These are the noises that Abuelo likes to make, so we’re preparing Mabel for Abuelo’s next visit.

Now, when Mabel wants to be bounced, she sticks her arms straight out to the sides, then “mmmmmmm!!!” until you start to bounce. She obediently bends her legs when you say “bouncy, bouncy.”

Mabel is playing with her exersaucer and showing off all the fancy noise she can make with her mouth.
