Escape from Alcatraz Bumboland

Let me just say I LOVE the Bumbo seat. I do. My aunt got it for Blake and I love the blue/turquoise color she picked out...I would have picked the same color had I gone and got it myself. As soon as Blake could hold his head steady, he could sit in it. It makes for great photo opportunities..because a newborn is precious just laying there or however you want to adjust them, and then once they can sit up, well they can sit up. But, for all the in between times, you are propping them up against the back of the couch or they are laying down...and don't get me wrong, those are super cute photos, too...I just love how the Bumbo holds him and I've gotten some cute photos. Also, I am the WORST at making a decision, and I still can't decide on a highchair. I know, I'm horrible. Blake has started solids, and since we don't have a highchair yet, I purchased the tray for the Bumbo seat. Fabulous idea, I thought, just fabulous! Except. He has started this thing...he wiggles until his right leg is pulled back into the seat with him, giving him more leverage to reach his left leg/foot down to push off the floor. Then he pushes himself out of the Bumbo. Well, I'm always close so he hasn't come totally out of it, but still. There have even been a few times he has flung the tray off. Then, a couple times he arched his back so high that both feet were pushing off the floor and he looked as if he was going to fall out, backwards. Scary. Especially on our tile floor. So, we are still using it, I am just sure to stay close by. Here is the picture I snapped of our little escape artist...
