Jolly Jumper

Now that her head support is good, Maya's new favourite activity is the 'jolly jumper' (thanks Melissa!). We hang it over a doorframe, and she is free to bounce around, using her feet to push off of the floor- I think she looks kind of like a puppet on a string.

The developmental stages are fascinating to watch (well at least to this first time mother!). Maya is now turning her head to follow movements and voices, smiling and laughing when we do funny faces at her, cooing lots, and grabbing toys and bringing them to her mouth. She even notices her dog, Bindi, now - today Maya's eyes were floowing the dog as we went for our afternoon walk.
