Every parent has a different "favorite" age...so many people have told me that 6-12 months is the "best" age. Well I must admit, when 6 months came...I felt a little let down. The positives about 6 months for Brinlie was that she could now sit up and entertain her self with toys, this is a BIG plus, however the negatives...TEETHING...bad and she became very NEEDY. So to me...6 months, well it was not my fave! We are now approaching 8 months...and well we have arrived at my favorite time so far...(I know you are thinking...just wait...there will be better time ahead, yes I get that, but so far...this is it). Why you might ask? TWO word... PLAY DATES...
Anyway, I loves this! She is just at the right age to not fight with her friends and she can't move to fast yet that I have to chase her. What this means is I can sit and visit, drink beer, socialize, and all the other things I did before child, but now...even better! As anyone who knows me...I am a social butterfly, I love to be having adult play dates, so this is great Brinlie and I can do it together now. Here are a few recent play dates:
Brinlie and Mallory Aley...
We spent some time at the park with our friend Amber and her 2 girls...well Andie Reese slept through most of this! I guess lunch wore her out! We still had fun!
Mallory and Brinlie played...at the park!
This play date happens very often...this is Curt (my nanny's son) pushing Brinlie in her walker! They are having fun!
I am so excited for the future play dates!! For the adult time as much as seeing my sweet girl interact with other kids!!
