Bouncing Fun…

January 27, 2009 by Megan

So these videos are more for the doting grandparents than anyone, but they’re cute… so we’ll post them.    It’s taken a while for Ryder to warm up to each of these toys, but he’s really starting to enjoy them now: This exersaucer was a Christmas gift from Grammy and Papa. We keep it in [...]
