Busy Week

Alisa had a fun and busy week. Monday she went to the park for a new playgroup that was started by some moms from the Friday music playgroup. She went on the swing and really enjoyed it. It was only her 2nd time on a park swing (she didn't like it the first time). After the other 5 babies ate their lunches we all walked on the trail pushing our babies in their strollers. Alisa was asleep by the end of it and wasn't too disturbed when I took her out of the stroller to strap her in her carseat.



On Wednesday, she went to Benjamin's to play. It was the first time they kinda played together. Usually they do their own thing or steal toys from each other. This time they stood by each other and talked and when one baby moved to another part of the room, the other baby followed. They traveled as a pair most of the time and it was really cute. Alisa couldn't keep up when Benjamin walked to the other room though because she doesn't walk yet. The cutest thing was when she sat on the toy car and Bejamin pushed the car for her to go forward (when she tries to move on it by herself, she only goes backwards).




Thursday night, Alisa went to Zimri's house to play while we adults had a pizza and game night there. Zimri is 7 1/2 months old and his parents lead the Bible study group we joined last month. The two babies didn't pay much attention to each other, but Alisa loved playing with Zimri's toys.

Friday morning was the weekly music playgroup. Alisa had a good time there and payed more attention to the songs and activities than ever before. She didn't cry when the students took the toys away after each song (they brought out new ones). Afterwards, we went to the mall with Savannah and Benjamin to eat lunch and walk around.

Today was the monthly playgroup. Alisa was more social than usual and didn't cry when others tried (and sometimes succeeded) to take the toy she was playing with. She did her fair share of stealing toys too. She became a bit fussy and tired after an hour and just wanted to be held, but then she got a 2nd wind and went back to playing and crawling around. She immediately fell asleep in the car on the way home.
