Gymboree

Yesterday, I enjoyed a morning nap with Mommy on the couch.

As you can see, I can just about sleep anywhere. Sometime next week, mommy and daddy will be receiving my Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper. I will blog about it and share my experiences with the baby furniture real soon.

Two days ago, mommy found a free coupon for me to enjoy an afternoon playtime at the Gymboree Music and Learn facility in Raleigh, NC on Leadmine Drive. I had a great time in this new environment.


It was a gym full of colorful playmats, jungle gyms, tubings, puppets and more.


The first activity we did was "tummy-time". My other classmates, Caroline and Adeline, are regulars at Gymboree. Here, Caroline and I are chatting while on our tummies:)


But I impressed my teacher and the other parents by being able to sit up at such an early age - 11 weeks.


Here's Caroline. She's 7 months and sitting up well. I know I'll be sitting up loney-loney real soon, too.


But don't worry. My mommy and daddy aren't pushing me too hard. I'm just excited about life and enjoy observing what's going on around me. My Grammy calls me "nosey" sometimes. Hmm...mommy prefers "observant" LOL!


This is my first time at camp, but what made it even more special was having daddy sit-in on the first part of the class with me and mommy. Daddy had to leave early because of work. But here you can see a picture of him singing to me:


The bulk of class was spent with us being sung to by our parents and us reacting to colorful scarves, noise-makers, and more:


One of my favorite things was watching the bubbles being blown in the air by our instructor, Ms. Joy.






After experiencing the bubbles, we laid on our backs and enjoyed parachute time.



In the end, we met GymBob the clown. I really liked all the colors on GymBob. And I cannot wait to see them all again at Gymboree playtime.


After playtime, mommy took me to Barnes and Nobles to search for more books. Well, we also went there so she could feed me:) I really enjoyed reading the big book version of Eric Carlisle's "Very Hungry Caterpillar". One day, I hope to have an entire collection of his books.


Well, until next time....
