Instead of Dumbo...It's Bumbo!

It's BUMBO time!

Dad delivering the BUMBO to the NICU

For those of you who don't know what a BUMBO is, it is a little foam seat that is molded to fit babies 3 months old and older. Well, really until they can't fit in it anymore. We were tossing it around and looked on the bottom to see where it was made. We were thinking, like everything else, it was probably "Made in China". To our surprise, the BUMBO is made in (drum roll).....South Africa. Let us practice our Afrikaans shall we..." Howzit?" "We're planning to have a jol (party) with this BUMBO."

Kalista's toes are so adorable when she sits in her Bumbo

Jen has not been feeling well for the past few days because of a cold and has been banned from the NICU. So...Matt flew solo to Kalista's OT session where the Bumbo seat was introduced to Kalista. The session went well and it was perfect dad and daughter bonding time. Kalista seemed to enjoy sitting in her new seat, especially since she was able to see and play with Mallory monkey, her mirror and her rings at the same time. Everything was within an arm's reach away. What more can a girl ask for?

Kalista also got this cute little pink finger toothbrush for us to work with her on her oral stim. Hopefully, it will also do wonders for her gums and tongue. Gum massage anyone?

As always, once her OT session was done...she fell asleep.
