Our baby continues to grow too fast - and it's sad when you watch her outgrow her FAVORITE toy. We bought the Merry Monkey mat when she was only a couple of months old, and the cashier at the store commented that she was a little young for it. WRONG! She loved it from the minute we set her under it. Here are a few pics showing her growth:
Picture 1 - this is when we first bought it at a couple months old. She wasn't sure of what she was supposed to do, but got the hang of it pretty quick.
Picture 2 - this was taken in mid-December at about 4 1/2 months old, when she began rotating herself easily around the floor.
Picture 3 - taken last week after only a few minutes of setting her down to play under it - she rolls all over the floor these days. Not a good thing for this play mat!
Even though she's outgrown it, she still gets excited to come downstairs and play with this toy first thing in the morning. When she wakes up, we ask her if she wants to play Merry Monkey and she gets all giddy with excitement - how can we take that away?! There may just be hope for one more step in playing with this toy - sitting up! She's *so* close now!
