Jumpy-Jumpy

I hope that whoever invented the Johnny Jumper is rolling in dough because that thing is pretty awesome! It's like a Space Camp moon-walking simulation in your very own home. It's got the fun of bungee jumping without the danger or the death-wish. If they made Johnny Jumpers for adults, you can bet I would buy one. In the beginning Clara was really unsure about this new contraption and didn't quite understand the point; she would spend all her energy trying to grab the support strap and get really frustrated when she couldn't move it to her mouth. Now she is realizing that this thing BOUNCES and allows her to turn a full 360 degrees. This video is a little lengthy but the bouncing is near the end (not big bounces, baby bounces).

Lately I've been trying to catch Clara's personality on video by placing the camera near our rocking chair. Unfortunately I really haven't caught much - except maybe her curiosity. She is so involved in figuring out this strange object that talking and interacting with Mom is old news. It is also kind of dark since I placed the camera on a closet shelf. It will probably bore the average reader/viewer but I'm posting it anyway; maybe the grandparents will enjoy seeing how big she is getting. It is actually two different clips; the first one is really short then the second will start automatically. Someday I will figure out how to dub over the sound with some music or something because I get kind of embarrassed listening to myself.
