PEPS update

We hosted our PEPS group this weekend-now that the official 12 weeks that we all paid for is over, we have decided to continue meeting every other week on Sunday mornings. We have now hosted 3 times: the first time, the babies were around 2 months old, and when we set up chairs in the living room we had to leave room for the car seats too, since all the babies pretty much just hung out in those the whole time.

The second time we hosted was right before Christmas, so all the little ones were closer to 4 months. They were spending more time up on laps, bouncing, smiling and generally checking the world out, while staying close to mom or dad.

Now they are all just about 6 months old, and what a change! Today we were all on the floor with the babies, who were rolling around, checking each other out, playing with toys, giggling...it's amazing how much has changed!

And the parents are all much more comfortable together too, which is great. To be able to really bitch about sleepless nights or a baby who is refusing to eat to people who not only understand but who are likely experiencing something similar is such a relief. I think I said this before on the blog, but I think we got really lucky with our group, and I hope the parents--and the babies--stay friends for a while to come.

so check them out! Yes, Simon is wearing leg warmers, he will hate us for these when he's 14!
