There’s one toy that I’ve always loved for little kids, I have fond memories of this myself, and have spent hours watching little cousins and other tiny little people enjoy the simple yet thrilling device…”Johnny Jump Up” How could you not just love this thing and jealously want one for people way, way outside the 30lb. max weight…say like 180lbs. Well, I finally decided that it was time to assemble and test our very own johnny jump up with Cora. She is so small that we had to wrap a blanket around her so she could stay somewhat upright in it. Even still she is dwarfed by the size of it and barely keeps her head above the top…but she loved it! Spinning around, kicking her legs to almost represent a jumping movement…Remember she is only 2 1/2 mos. old. We tried to get some video of this momentous occasion, but alas, that didn’t turn out nearly as well as we had hoped. Here are some pretty decent photos of our fun time.
In other news: Cora rolled over from her back to her tummy 3 or 4 times last evening, and even ended up on her elbows in a pseudo crawling posture! Again, one of those moments that happened so fast we hadn’t even thought of getting the video cam out…
What’s the Goomba reference you ask? Well, for those that remember, a goomba is a small mushroom like character from Mario Bros. My first thought when I saw Cora in the Johnny Jump Up was that she looked just like a Goomba…large combination head/body and legs. It may be a bit of a stretch, but, I liked it and have started occasionally calling her “My Little Goomba” Click here for Goomba wikipedia article and here for a photo of a Goomba.
