The Chester Diaries: Jumping for joy!

The Chester Diaries: Celebrating the feast and famine known as new motherhood.

Welcome to my blog! My name is Lara and I gave birth in April, 2010 to a baby boy. I've been calling him "Chester" since he was a little chestnut in my tummy. To commemorate his three month birthday, I wanted to write about the crazy, joyous and exhausting ride I've been having as a first-time mom. If you're interested in reading about the highs and lows of uncharted mommy territory as well as my unhealthy obsession with shopping, (particularly baby gear), reviews, and pop culture observations, then you've come to the right place. Be warned: This cute kid has a mommy who can be a bit of a potty mouth.

Note: This blog is no longer active but please enjoy Chester's journey from 3 months to 2+ years.

Jumping for joy!

Today is Thanksgiving here and Tim has the day off. To celebrate truly being thankful, we thought we'd present Chester with a new toy: his Fisher Price Jungle Jumparoo. What a perfect toy for him. It gives him an outlet for all that unused energy, and he has a lot of little activities that can keep him busy on the little circle surrounding him. He seemed to really enjoy using his legs. Usually the only opportunity he has is when he stands on mommy or daddy. For the first time he could really go to town!
