I Heart Craig$list

On Sunday we were at some friend's house for tacos, and they have a little boy 6 weeks older than Brooke. They have one of those activity mats with the arches that dangle toys in the baby's reach. Brooke was just loving that thing! She was laying under it for almost an hour cooing and smiling and just having a grand time.

So being the engineers we are...we tried to make due with what we had.
Parts List:
(1) Bouncy Seat
(1) Crazy Cow Plush toy
(7) Plastic Links
(1) Clamp from the garage

Assemble as shown.
Insert one happy baby and enjoy.




But of course, we need some variety too. So this is why I love craig$li$t.

Normally, the retail price is up near $60-70 for one of these play mats. I found one brand new for $25. The only thing "wrong" with it is the sun toy doesn't play music anymore. Oh darn...a baby toy that doesn't make noise. Shucks.

She seems to like it. (you can thank Brady, the slightly needy - totally spoiled cat, for helping me with the filming. He kept head-butting my arm while I was trying to film.)
