Baby Abseiling (by alaric)
We spent Sunday tidying cleaning the house. Well, that was the plan, but we ended up only doing downstairs, and then with a few little things left over... I'd hoped Jean would be entertained by the sight of us zooming around her wielding dusting flicks and carrying things, but alas, she demanded a lot of our time through the day.
Anyway, tidying did have some fun for Jean - since we had her in her baby bouncer in the middle of the room, and I was dealing with a stack of storage boxes, we gave her a taste of abseiling:
This kept here interested for a bit. With the harness holding her upright and taking her weight, she could scrabble against the stack of boxes and practice her developing self-mobility skills.
In fact, this morning, she flopped forwards from where we'd sat her up on some cushions. She wailed in frustration, but then her flailing arm caught the side of her baby-gym thing, and she managed to push herself upright again. She then proceeded to grin from ear to ear!

Meep, she's growing too fast, halt the process, so I can see her before she's left home!
