Behold! The Winkle Toy!

Our friends from NYC, The Mohneys, sent Justin a huge box packed with fun stuff this week. The Winkle Toy was included and, let me tell you, it has been a huge hit with J-Man. Not only can he grab onto it with both hands, he can chew on it at the same time. I highly recommend this toy for any baby just learning to grasp onto things.

90 Degrees

J-Man is getting quite mobile. Check him out:

Five minutes later:

My 3.75 month old turned a full 90 degrees under his Jungle Gym in under five minutes. My sense of direction isn't even close to being this good...and I'm almost 376 months old! My kid is a genius.

Justin has also learned (thanks to Daddy) that, if he hits the purple parrot hanging over his head on the Jungle Gym, the music starts to play. I hope this is teaching Justin simple cause and effect and not to be abusive to animals so that he can hear "Lou, Lou, Skip to My Lou" play approximately 1400 times.

In related news, if I hear "Lou, Lou, Skip to My Lou" one more time, I may shoot myself.
