Jolly Jumper gave her a different view of the world and her first taste of upright movement without us holding her up. From the beginning, she was really excited that she was upright without any help because at that stage she had just started to sit on her own. I was not so sure how Chhori would react to it so we tried it out.

That jolted our memory and when we came home we unpacked it. When Chhori was around 5 months old, we were shopping at Toys r us one day and we saw Jolly Jumper in the shelves. We were sure the baby wouldn’t use it straight away so we disassembled it and put it away, and then almost forgot that we had it. You can get the one which hangs on the door frame as well. It was a jumper bouncer in a four poster frame. AS tried to assemble it to get a better idea. I really didn’t know what it was so we googled it when we got it. One of the gifts we got before she was even born was the Jolly jumper. She is really lucky that she has been so spoiled and loved by everyone around her. We haven’t bought many toys for Chhori but she has heaps anyway as we keep getting gifts. When we first found out we were having a baby, we did lots of research and decided that the basics like bassinet, cot, change table, car seat and pram are necessary big ticket items but we could leave toys till the end and see how we go. So if you are having a baby for the first time, you really need to plan well so as not to spend money on unnecessary stuff. If you have a baby, you know they are really expensive.
