The bouncy seat for babies is one of the more underrated inventions of all time. Maddie loves hers.
We keep ourselves entertained in the evenings with me "chasing" Maddie. Actually, she is limited to turning around in the chair. She thinks if she can't see me, I can't see her...I play along with it. I tell her "I'm gonna get you." She laughs and turns around. Then I go around through the dining room and sneak up on her. I'm not sure which of us enjoys playtime more.
Here's what you do: get you a baby and a bouncy seat, you'll never be bored again.
