The most annoying toy in the house

Is also Frankie's favorite.


It plays a soundtrack that sounds like old-school Atari music. Air blows through the canisters making the toys spin, hop, and whir. And she loves it.

Frankie is quite the crawler now, and has learned to pull herself up. The last two mornings we've found her standing up in her crib, ready for a day of adventure (which, unfortunately for us, starts at 5:30 am). She's a very cautious mover on the whole - she doesn't like to be out of control (really? my child?). We worked really hard on the sitting-back-down-after-I-stand-up maneuver on Sunday, and she'll do it now, although not without almost a full split and a very slow lowering to the ground using whatever she's holding on to.

Here's a video of the most annoying toy in action, although watch it at your own risk. I've warned you, it's annoying...

There oughta be a law against such things. Of course, that would take a great deal of joy from our children. Hmmm....

You have my sympathies. I'm sure Riley will find something at least as obnoxious to love. Well, maybe not quite as obnoxious.

Shelby is already tired of the music the jumper plays.

That is *quite* at toy!

A piece of tape over the speaker can help to cut the volume a little. We've done that with a couple of E's toys throughout the last 3 years.
