Gracie, go to youtube and type in bumbo, they're a squishy baby seat that holds baby up without straps. Bebepod is another similar thing.

Envying your trip to the movies, might get there with the kids this week (!) When school goes back I'll try a mum's n bubs session - I'm having cinema withdrawal!

LOL at your new coffee table - hope you chose a sturdy one - our coffee table is the single most child-affected piece of furniture in our house. It still has scribble stains, gouges and a bit of dried weetbix (? at least that's what Im guessing) down one of the cracks. LOL will sand it off and re wax it once E gets to school (it's one of those indonesian hardwood rustic sort of things).
