I joined a moms' group in Gainesville and met a few nice ladies with small kids (Nikolas is still the youngest--the next youngest one is 6 months old).
Yesterday a few of us met at Jyoti's place for early dinner. Babies had a large floor space to crawl/play/look around on. All but Nikolas could already sit up and move around, but that didn't intimidate him. I wish I had brought the camera with me to show him twisting his neck to look at the 6- and 7- month old girls. He was happy just lying there, looking around, kicking the toys that he could reach and, of course, showing off his strong voice. I tried to stay out of his sight to let him play by himself as long as possible, and I was amazed that this lasted for over 2 hours! At the end he saw me and immediately began calling to be picked up, mostly because he hadn't slept and he got cranky. This was the longest time that he stayed awake playing without calling for attention.
This social event took so much energy out of him that he fell asleep in the car seat on the way home and stayed asleep in it for another 2 hours, then ate quickly, and went back to sleep!
I have to add, mommy had a great time chatting with the new friends!
