It was a two nap day for August. He slept for 80 minutes in the morning, which meant he was full of energy for his class. After class we bought a few groceries and came home and played and ate lunch. We then headed to the kid cafe and had fun there.
It has been a few weeks since we were last at the kid cafe. In that time August has become a full on crawler and is talking and interacting more with other kids. I could definitely tell the difference. It was nice and empty, with just a few other kids there. There was one girl in particular – probably 4 or 5 – that took an interest in him and enjoyed jumping on the trampoline to make August bounce, which he liked.
He was having fun there but after an hour and a half he asked to be picked up and cuddled in my arms. Time for a nap. We headed home and he fell asleep. While he was asleep Carly got home and I headed to PT.
Here he is in the morning playing with Mimzy. He did this over and over and over:
Off to class. Today’s class was all about cats. This, of course, included cat ears. August (predictably) did NOT like the ears:
August and Ahsoo (I’m probably spelling that wrong) are the two most outgoing and demonstrative babies in the class (out of a total of four today, so not saying a whole lot). Anyway, they were interacting a bit more today, or at least playing in the same general vicinity:
Going down a slide by himself:
For Cassie. His first balance beam experience. He actually crawled along it a bit (and then scooted backwards on it) but I couldn’t get that on video:
Playing with a ball of yarn and the cat pages of the books:
One of the moms in August’s class brought in these bags of homemade rice treats for everyone. August loves them, as he can crunch them with his teeth:
Back home for awhile before heading to the kid cafe. He loves his set of shapes. He just kept throwing them around today, particularly the red one:
All sorts of fun at the kid cafe:
Rocking:
Meeting this girl who played with him on the trampoline. You can hear him talk to her:
They were actually looking at each other for awhile, but I managed to snap this photo when August looked back at the boy. It was really quite cool to see him making eye contact with another kid like that:
Back home in the evening. He was clearly ready to go to bed, but rebounding to play for awhile. You have to see the face right about half way through this video:
