A few weeks ago, I started going to a "baby's first year" play-group. It's more of a new-mom-sit-around-and-vent group, but it's still kind of fun. It's allot of moms who don't seem to get out very much, and some moms who are having a rough time with things. It turns out to be pretty helpful, we all kind of bounce ideas off of each other. If one baby is going though something, another baby is bound to have been through it, which makes you feel a little but less alone in this whole experience.
I really like the fact that Isaac can hang out with some mini humans, closer to his own age, and interact with them. The first baby he saw was a little girl named Abby, who's mom was in our birthing class. He just fell in love with her! Until the second baby, Story came along. . . Man, she is one gorgeous little girl! She looks like a little perfect, porcelain doll. Well, he fell head over heals for her!
Most of the moms are a little skiddish about having other kids touch theirs, but I'm not shy about it. Seriously, these are babies, they learn through touching and feeling, and exploring new things. So Isaac took that idea to heart when he decided that he wanted to taste Story's hand! I thought it was uber-adorable, Story's mom. . . not so much. Ha, what are you going to do?
This week some new friends joined the group, and I had promised one of the moms that I would bring my camera, (since I'm the designated documenter of everything!) and I'm really glad that I did. Isaac got to meet two new girlfriends, Harley and Ava.
I'm convinced that he will be the pimp of this play group, because he's one of three boys there! And one of those boys is only a few weeks old!
Isaac is a few months younger than the majority of the other babies, but he doesn't let that slow him down one bit!
