Bumbo Recalled!

In words of Patrick Swayze - Nobody puts baby in the corner; or in this case a Bumbo! It's a sad day when you find out the Child Neglect Chair has been recalled. JT hasn't quite figured out how to do the escape trick yet and fortunately he can't read how on-line either; but I guess we need to start watching closer when he is encased in his foam rubber prison:
"If the seat is placed on a table, countertop, chair, or other elevated surface, young children can arch their backs, flip out of the Bumbo seat, and fall onto the floor, posing a risk of serious head injuries. "

My favorite picture of the little guy is actually taken of him in the Bumbo, or as Mrs. Gourzis likes to call it the "Bimbo". I suppose we don't need another cry baby head injury survivor in the family and soon as Areti finds out about the recall we'll probably have to throw the chair out.

Angie and Dee's House

Going to Dee and Angie's for dinner was a great change of pace from the regular monotony of parenthood. It's always great to visit with family, but with Dee and Angie also having a newborn, Palmer, it was good to swap baby stories and experiences. Palmer is a little bundle of energy and a glimpse of what we have in store in the near future with JT.

The only problem with going to someones house who also has a newborn is Areti ends up having to get whatever "magic" baby item/toy that we don't have. The Baby Bumbo chair, or as Dee likes to call it "the neglect chair" has made the list. Secondly we will be investing in a over the door frame bungee jumper. Palmer seemed to go nuts for his, video to be posted soon, and JT will love his too as soon as we get one.

Dee, Angie, Palmer and the pugs looked great and we wish them the best of luck with baby number two! Below is a link to the photos from the visit from Dee and Angie, with more pictures on their way soon (As soon as we find our cameras that is; we misplaced them in shuffle of baby equipment from the trip).

Dee, Angie and Palmer!

Big day tomorrow.

JT, Areti and myself will be heading over to Maryland to have dinner with Dee, Angie, Baby Palmer, Uncle Don, Aunt Maryanne, Gary and Susan. JT will no doubt scream his head off the entire way there, then act like a perfect angel while around strangers. That seems to be his new thing, which I suppose is a good thing because it makes us look like better parents than we actual are (and by "we" I mean mainly me). In any event, it will great to see everyone and who knows maybe if we're good we'll get some free chiropractic care. Pictures and details to follow.

On another note, the polls are about to close on the topic of changing blog names. Currently changing is in, with half the poll participants pulling for the change it might be time to say goodbye to baby725.blogspot.com! Next poll: "Should we change blog color schemes?". Right now it seems very October-ish, but I think it's time to shake things up a bit.
