Our first Play Date!

Mommy & Ava finally found a play group and set up our first meeting for today. The group has 9 mothers with babies ranging from approximately 8 - 11 months. Today, only 4 mommy's could make it, but we had a blast. The babies babbled, screamed, held hands, attempted to lick each other, it was everything I thought it would be and more. Hopefully, we will be able to get a regular schedule going each week because these babies were ready to mingle, they just needed more of their own space to "crawl all over each other," as one mom put it. And of course, I forgot to pull out the camera until the end, so I wasn't able to capture the group....though as you can imagine, that would have been quite a feat.

Nothing like a stroll through the Aquarium, but

Ava needs to be closer to the action, otherwise she loses interest.

So as the crowds thinned out, I let her free.

She enjoyed that much more.

She just strolled up and down following the fish...she really enjoyed it...we will definitely have to come back with daddy to see the eel cave and penguin habitat....and I'm sure we will have more action-packed shots as we explore more of the city with her new crew of baby friends.

Stay tuned!
