Walking and Consignment Shopping

The weather here has been at record highs in the upper 90's for the past several weeks.  Amelia and I have stayed indoors until later in the evening.  After dinner we usually take a walk with Daddy and our dogs around the neighborhood.  Amelia just loves to ride in the stroller!

Our local consignment sale was the first week of August- I volunteered to work and was able to get in to shop early before it opened to the public.  It was so worth it because we found this . . .

Amelia won't be able to use it until next spring when she is walking but we just couldn't pass up this incredible deal.  We looked it up online and a brand new one just like this was $589 and we got it for well under $100!  Right now it sits in our garage- we plan to put a big bow on it and "give" it to Amelia for Christmas or her first birthday.

We also got Amelia a few clothes, a Halloween costume (pictures to come around Halloween) and this jumperoo-

A jumperoo is like a jumper and a exersaucer combined.  We knew Amelia would love to bounce so this was a great combination!  She still has to grow into it but she already loves it!  Look closely, you can see we have to put a pillow under her feet for now :)

She looks a little unsure here but that was when she was first put in the jumperoo. Now as soon as we put her in she will move the toys around, bounce a little, and talk to the toys. She is just starting to figure out that she can jump in it- but she loves it when I make it bounce up and down for her!
