I was reading online the other day that an activity gym is a great investment for early development of your baby. I had a babies r us gift certificate, so yesterday we picked one up, and had Ginger try it out last night. She loves it! I didn't think she would lay there for more than a few moments without crying, but she hung out for several minutes and actually played with the toys! I was tearing up watching her, realizing that she is growing really, really fast and isn't a teeny tiny newborn anymore. Her eyes now catch lights, mommy and daddy, and a few other things that intrigue her, and it's awesome to watch her try to start to understand that her arms are attached to her and can be helpful in grabbing things!
Also, isn't her little Valentine's day outfit so cute? A word of advice to other new moms- go to Babies'R'Us on the actual holiday, and you can pick up a cute outfit for next to nothing on clearence! This cute little heart tee was only $1.50, regularly priced $12.99! And the pants were a hand-me-down from Jovita and baby Dixie, gotta love it.

Yep, the activity gyms are great. Riley likes hers too. My favorite is doing tummy time and watching her lift her head. Same here - I can't believe they are growing so fast! Love the video by the way...too cute. Ginger looks like she's chewing gum in it! LOL
P.S. Glad you blogged again - been missing them!
Jacob has the same exact gym. He loves it. It's great for tummy time, play time, and Kila (the dog)loves the squeaky feature in it and thinks it's her toy too. It's great to travel with; I just kept the bag it came in.
She is getting so big so fast! What a cutie! And the activity gyms are great and can buy you a few minutes of alone time. Wait until she can use the exersaucer...thats an amazing toy that can buy you a shower even!:-)
