The end of the bouncy seat era

So early in May we rapidly realized the bouncy seat, a time tested friend of mommy and daddy which could almost always keep the M&M's asleep when they needed a long nap, was approaching its end time. Here is Mikey in his, which doesn't look bad from this angle but which is almost touching in the back due to how big he has gotten. But that was mainly due to the dogs bending it so it was fixed by daddy. But then we saw what Michaella had started to do when she was in her bouncy seat.


Michaella likes to workout while in hers, and when that doesn't work for her she then tries to ..

break out. She has been found several times halfway off the seat, and in one instance slid out of the seat to play on the floor.

This picture is from early May, but you can see how big they are getting! Mikey weighed in at 19lbs 13 oz and Michaella was 18lb 12oz on May 20th. Both are in size 9 month clothing now, with mikey fitting in to lots of 12 month things.
