It's hard to know when you're registering for baby things what you're really going to use and what you're not. I was always kind of "ehhh" on the baby activity gyms (didn't really see the point) but we registered for one anyway.
I wasn't totally shocked when we didn't get it.
But my Aunt Kathy & Uncle Dave sent us money for "something Jackson would want" a couple of weeks ago, and I started to reconsider this toy. Now that Jackson is more alert, I'm looking for ways to stimulate him. And these little mats are also supposed to help babies enjoy their "tummy time," which my child has always hated.
The activity gym came a week ago today, and it's one of our favorite gifts right now. We use it probably three times a day. It's got lights. Music. Little animals that swing overhead for him to grab. And a mirror.
(I will interject, here, by saying that Lucy is not sure what to think of this contraption.)
My favorite new milestone of Jackson's - aside from spending minutes on end staring at his hands (gasp! what are these things stuck to my body?) - is when he finds himself in a mirror. He grins and stares at me all day long but when he sees himself, well, we both crack up.
