My baby is becoming high maintenance. Case in point, he is bawling under his little gym on the floor as I type this. Yesterday I was thinking that maybe I didn't have enough things to entertain such a little one, so I made a trip to BRU to purchase a bouncy seat. I thought maybe, just maybe, he would enjoy sitting in a cushy vibrating seat, watching light-up waterfalls and bouncing monkeys, while listening to calming rainforest sounds. As you can see from the picture I was very wrong. Henry and I put the seat together, sat James in it, and the tears immediately began to flow. I was so frustrated that he didn't enjoy it that I made him sit there and cry for 10 minutes, just hoping he would change his mind. He wouldn't even give the parrot the time of day. He just stared, screaming out the window. No turn of the neck, no glance in the frogs direction. I was bummed. I guess even the tackiest of colorful swings doesn't keep the attention of a small baby. I needed to start dinner so I moved him in the bouncy seat to the kitchen. Once I took off all of the overstimulating crap and just stood there and talked to him he began looking around and smiling.
I guess it just goes to show that money can't buy happiness....and that my baby is high maintenance.

He may like the accessories as he gets a little older. My boys tolerated the bouncy chair but never sat it in for too long. They preferred the swing.
Love those baby blues! Im talkin about the eyes, as for the attitude give him about 4 months it will get better.
Oh I'm sorry! I thought he was your good little happy baby! He'll get good again. . .you just wait :).
He might be high maintenance, but he sure is CUTE! Hang in there!
B LOVED his bouncy chair! He didn't really enjoy all the fluffy extras until a bit later. I hope James will get more used to it, that's the only thing that helped me survive the newborn stage.
This same bouncer helped Easton, but it wasn't till he was more like 4 months.
