Benjamin Has a New Toy!

I introduced Benjamin to a new toy yesterday. Now that he's able to hold his head up well I thought we would try out his new exersaucer. Well, it's not new but new to us. I'm realizing more than ever that these tiny guys grow and develop so quickly at this age that it doesn't make sense to buy new anything. But of course, that's coming from a rather frugal person by nature (this exact toy new at Wal Mart is over $70--I got ours at a yard sale for $15)! It might still be a bit too big for him but he seems to enjoy his time in it. He is usually only in it for 10 minutes or so and then he's done. But he also can't reach out and grab any of the toys yet, so maybe when he can do that he'll spend more time in it.

Here are a few photos of him playing in it. He really reacts to and loves happy faces. Here he is looking at the sun smiley face. If you click on the top left photo and look closely you will see the long stream of drool coming out of his mouth. Yes, we have entered the slobbery, hands always in the mouth stage! I thought the other photo was cute. It's his little legs dangling underneath. He's too short to be able to touch. :-)
