Whenever I want to sit my 6 month old down, I put him on the bed then put pillows around him in all directions. He sits upright and plays with his toys and the pillows are there to catch him so he doesn’t do a full face plant onto the comforter.

Don’t worry I am always a few steps away if not right by his side. I usually put him there when he’s had enough of the swing and I need to get dressed. I’ve also done it when I need to work on the computer and cannot hold him. In that case I sit an arm’s length away from his pillow fortress.

Low and behold, one day during a stroll in Babies R Us, I came across the Bumbo Baby Seat. At first glance, I was smitten. It was as if the heavens opened up and the angels started singing. I purchased it and it’s accompanying tray. When I got home, I put CJ in it (on the floor – as directed) and I sat next to him. He loved it! He stayed in it for quite some time as the family walked to and fro.

I’ve noticed that he tends to enjoy it more when there are others on the floor with him – even if it’s the dog. He’s not picky when it comes to companionship. Working on the floor’s no biggy with me….whatever it takes to keep the peace!
