Mom more amused than baby

My daughter isn't as interested in these as I thought she'd be, but I think they're super cute. One of the socks came without the anti-slip spots on the bottom, but she isn't walking yet so it's not the end of the world.

As a new mom, I didn't know much about bouncy seats.  Our daughter doesn't care for her swing when she is awake, but when she is sad she LOVES for us to sit on the exercise ball and bounce her.  So, I thought a bouncy seat would be GREAT, because then maybe we wouldn't have to hold her ALL THE TIME.  I would love to be able to take a shower occasionally, if you know what I mean.

Well, evidently bouncy seats don't really bounce.  It's more of a vibrator seat.  It kind of reminds me of those "massage" chairs at shopping malls, where you can put in $2 in quarters, and for a couple minutes it will vibrate different spots around your back...but I digress...

I'm not really sure if all "bouncy" seats are vibrator seats, or whether it's just this seat.  This seat DOES have springs that hold the seat in place, so I think theoretically it could become a bouncier seat when my daughter is big enough to kick and propel herself a little.

Unfortunately, the vibrator seat really doesn't cut it for our kiddo--she likes it all right if she is already happy, for a little while, but it doesn't have nearly the same soothing effect for her as our bouncing on the exercise ball does.

When this seat arrived, I had some trouble assembling it.  It doesn't seem like it would be very hard to assemble!  But, you've got to attach a couple of the bottom legs to the bottom center button, and one of the legs would NOT go in.  We did get it eventually, but I was a little frustrated to have to fight it so much.

The music that this plays is not obnoxious.  It's kind of cute.

My daughter LOVES staring at the red dangling hedgehog (or porcupine? whatever that creature is).  She'll stare at him for a while.

It is easy to fold this bouncy seat.  That was the thing that enticed me to purchase THIS bouncy seat instead of another one; we have a small house, so I thought it would be nice to not have to have one more baby thing out all the time.  So far I think we've only folded it up twice, though.  It usually just stays in our office, and this is our baby's seat when Daddy is "watching" her while he works.

Overall, I am still glad we purchased this seat, because our baby still cannot sit on her own (she is just barely 2 months old) and this puts her in a good position for watching whatever is going on.  It is also easy to move around.

I bought this as a silly gift for my sister in law. This provided hours of amusement on Christmas night when my 60 year old mother proceeded to go through all of the words and ask us what some of them meant. We laughed so hard we cried. -1 star because even though I am totally fine with curse words...I just don't like the "c word"..what can I say.

My mom, who isn't one for swearing loved this as a gift.  She kind of giggled and showed me different obscenities... I think it was very therapeutic!

Watching my 70 year old parents laugh for 5 minutes straight was, for me, well worth the price of this gag gift. My mom was only slightly disappointed that that the box didn't actually have the nap sack in it for my dad who claims he can never nap anywhere.

RELEASED 2011 and directed by The Erwin Brothers, Moms Night Out is a dramedy about three mothers in Birmingham (Sarah Drew, Patricia Heaton & Andrea Logan White) who go out on the town while their husbands & a friend watch the kids (Sean Astin, Robert Amaya & Kevin Downes). Alex Kendrick plays the pastor and Sammi Hanratty the teen daughter. Trace Adkins appears as a tough biker while David Hunt is on hand as a helpful cabbie. Andrea Logan White plays a friend of the three moms while Harry Shum Jr. appears as her ex-beau.

This is a family friendly dramedy with a little edge and slight faith-based elements (limited to one comical church scene and one exchange at the end). The "inept dad" theme is tiresome and unrealistic (it seemed to me like the children lacked discipline). But there are some gems to mine, like the female lead being overwhelmed by her own doing. In short, she set an absurd standard for herself and labored under her self-imposed expectations.

The church bathroom scene is hilarious. Have you ever had a meltdown over something trivial due to pent-up frustration and were embarrassed to discover that someone saw/heard you? Theres another laugh-out-loud sequence when someone is innocently doing something, which is inadvertently telegraphed to a bunch of others, but offering the wrong impression.

BOTTOM LINE: This is a fun movie with several genuinely humorous moments and a lil bit of mind/spirit food.

THE MOVIE RUNS 1 hours 38 minutes and was shot in Birmingham, Alabama, and Pelham, which is just South. WRITERS: Jon Erwin and Andrea Nasfell.

GRADE: B

This book was a gift, I thought it was humorous and the mother-to-be seemed to enjoy it.  It is not for everyone however and the purchaser should know their audience, so as not to offend.  The illustrations and pretty cool though, and the book is pretty true to form for anyone who has experienced the joys (or lack of joy) in trying to get their small child to sleep while being delusional and exhausted themselves.

Enjoyed very much.  Witty, somewhat sarcastic, like attending a comedy show without vulgarity, that certainly mom's can appreciate.  We all have tales of imperfection.

This book was recommended to me by MY ob/gyn when I was pregnant, but she gave it to me with the caution that "It's not for everyone."  After reading some of the reviews here, I understand why.  It's the same way that a lot of stand-up comedians can be seen as really offensive by some and really hilarious by others.  But, after reading a lot of the reviews here, I felt prompted to write my own take on the book so that it gets a fair shake.

So.  I think this book is HILARIOUS and I would (and have!) absolutely recommend it to friends / patients of mine with the right kind of sense of humor.  She tells stories about how she nearly fainted when she discovered a hair growing out of one of her nipples while pregnant; about how she hurled something at her husband because she thought he said "moo" while she was getting dressed while pregnant (spoiler alert: he didn't); about how the worst thing that can happen to you when you are pregnant is to be pregnant at the same time as your mom's best friend's daughter, who will have the PERFECT pregnancy with the PERFECT supportive husband and the PERFECT amount of weight gain.

Of COURSE she isn't serious.  Of COURSE the "worst thing that can happen to you while pregnant" is a miscarriage.  I know that, you know that, she knows that.  I think that the point of the book is to speak to all of the insecurities that we suffer naturally as women while pregnant, and help reassure us about those by showing us that there is someone out there who maybe was even a little MORE crazy, insecure, etc. while pregnant.  She does it with a great hilarious style, and I read this book during each one of my pregnancies to help me stay sane!

But, like my ob/gyn said, it's not for everybody.

I gave this as a gift. The mom was disappointed in the limited humor, however, her son enjoyed it mostly for the illustrations and the silly story line.

We played Christmas night with ages from 20-78 we all laughed so hard. Did know how my mom (78 years old ) would like it but she's never laughed so much.

This book is so funny!! My daughter tends to get a little excited over little things, first time mother, lol. This was pretty funny at Christmas and everyone got a good laugh out of it. It was actually pretty helpful. Her husband was the first one to read the whole thing. I would recommend this for any first time parents.

The music plays at the most random times. My husband and I laugh because it's usually when the baby is sleeping and not playing with it. Otherwise it's cute!

I first saw this book at a baby shower and almost fell off my chair laughing.  You would have to be a parent to appreciate the humor in this book, and after having 2 of my own who didn't want to sleep most of the time, I really did!  Definitely not a kids book, so file it high on a shelf, but take it down and read when you're bleary-eyed from lack of sleep because of your baby.  I should put a smile back on your face.  Thumbs up!

Bought this for my mom for Mother's Day. I wasn't sure if she was going to like it or not. When she opened it she laughed hysterically!
