Fredrik and Madeline Play Date

We had a play date with Madi last Friday. It was pretty hilarious. The two babies have definately started to notice each other. At first they stared at each other and played with toys in slow motion not taking there eyes off each other. One of them would make a noise with a toy, then the other would decide whether or not to investigate. Great Aunt Bev had given them the Jack-O-Lantern shirts so we had to get a picture which was not the easiest thing. By that point the novelty of a second baby had worn and they were both on the move, continuously plunging head first off the couch into Bev's arms and making a lot of noise.

I'm going to try to bring Fredrik into more social situations where there are other kids around. It was a wake-up call when I brought him into the daycare at our gym and he screamed and trembled when he saw the other kids. Today I took him to a nearby playground with 5 other kids running around. He's too little to play "with" them, but he definately watched what the older kids were doing. He also enjoyed digging in the little pebbles that covered the ground around the playground equipment and he also ventured around via crawling a bit. That's my brave boy!

We have a fun Halloween weekend planned in Forest City visiting Gma and Gpa Hemberger, and Jessa and Jonah. It should be a blast.
