Trying out new toys

Now that Thomas is bigger and can hold himself up better, we've brought out some toys that have been living in the basement. 

He loves the Johnny Jump-Up! It fits well in our kitchen doorway, and he's content to hang out in there, standing and bouncing a bit, while we're working in the kitchen.

The exersaucer is a huge hit as well! We have him standing on a pillow because otherwise only one foot can touch the ground at a time. The seat rotates, and he swivels himself a bit, but otherwise is content playing with whatever toy we put in front of him. I think he'd happily stay in here for hours if we'd let him. He can even push the buttons to play music, but probably not on purpose yet. Last night he started banging his head on the little plastic book (on the right). He thought this was extremely funny. 

Thomas spent some quality time with Grammy Lindy last week while I was in NY and then working. She read him lots of stories and took him for walks in the park.
