Playdate

This actually wasn't our first playdate, but it was our first one since Joanna was about 4 or 5 weeks old. So, first playdate that Joanna actually played! On Thursday (our second day off of full-time work), Joanna got to play with her friends Aidan (1 year), Caleb (11 mo), Riley (~8mo), and Abby (2 1/2 mo). We met at Aidan's house, and he was very kind to share all of his toys. Joanna got to play on his Baby Einstein playmat, which she loved. She is very fond of playmats these days.

She also got to try out an exersaucer, and that was a new fun way to play. I think she enjoyed looking around from it at all the kiddos.

We decided to be adventurous and try to take a picture of all 5 babies. Three of them are pretty stationary, but getting the walkers to join them was pretty funny! In the end, we managed to snap a few of all the kids, but of course not everyone was looking toward the camera at the same time. Go figure...

The boys headed off to Aidan's room to play tackle or something, so the girls "played" peacefully for a few minutes. Mostly Riley looked down at Abby and Joanna, telling them all about life to come, and Joanna tried to chew on Abby's knee. Abby got so excited, she fell asleep.

It was definitely a fun day, and Joanna and I can't wait for more playdates to come!
