Hey All,

This weekend Aunt Linda (Chiemi's Aunt) came in to town and visited with us and met Ani for the first time. This week Ani got a new toy bouncer that she seems to enjoy also we have seemed to have progressed from bouncing to Jumping.

Bouncing instructions:

1. Place child in the seated position on your left hand while holding the back of her neck or back with your right hand.
2. Briskly move the child up and down from leg to leg as if the child was bouncing on her butt.
3. When her butt strikes your leg listen to make sure hear the sound of her breath escaping from her body, it should sound like a soft panting.
4. If while doing step 3 you notice that you are knocking the breath out of my daughter please stop immediately.
5. Make sure you read step 4
6. Continue to bounce till your arms become numb



Jumping Instructions:

1. Seat the child on your lap facing away from you.
2. Place your hands under her armpits and grip her upper torso. Your grip should be smaller to holding a Giant Hamburger.
3. Out of curiosity how many of yall stopped reading and pretended to bite in to a large burger.
4. After step 2 apply enough pressure to lift the child in to the air.
5. Be sure you are not applying to much pressure that you could crush her little ribs, if you find that you are applying to much pressure please stop immediately.
6. If you find that you are not applying enough pressure and the child keeps slipping from your hands please go back to playing the Bouncing game as previously instructed.

We will be sure to take more pictures this week and get them out to everyone soon

Love
Ian, Chiemi and Ani
