The learning tower

This contraption is worth it's weight in gold. It's called a "learning tower" because when a baby is in it she is safe to move around and still watch what's going on.

I remember when Mia was little she would always want me to pick her up at the store or in front of a fast food counter. So one day I bent down to talk with her and realized "she can't see a thing" no wonder....

So I almost ordered one of these things back then but didn't. Mainly because of the cost and I didn't know how much I would really use it.
But since Johanna has been home she doesn't want me to put her down very much. That makes life real difficult when I'm trying to peel, chop, or cook.
So I took the leap and bought the tower. To say I love it is an understatement.... She will stand for a long time and play very contently.
Just makes me wish we had bought one with the first.....
