I went to my playdates (yes plural!) on Tuesday and had a lot of fun. First we went to meet with a "newborn" play group, although only one other mom showed up. She has a little boy just 4 days older than Elie. This is a walking play group since the babies are too young to play so I walked 3 miles with her. Then Elie and I came home for some food before heading back out to meet with the other play group which I had mentioned previously. This group had five babies and moms there, including Elie and myself. Elie is the youngest and the oldest kid there is 10 months old. It is a nice mix of ages, although they are still close enough in age to interact. The moms were all really nice and all of us are first time moms with girls so we have a lot to talk about. Since these two groups meet weekly on the same day we will only be able to continue to go to one of them. I think we are going to stick to the second play group since it seems like a better fit for us right now. We'll keep the walking one in mind though.
I already learned some valuable tips from the other moms, including finding out about the Bumbo - that's the seat in case you were wondering. It's ergonomically designed for babies who have head control to be able to sit up on their own, gain some independence, and a new view of the world. So far, Elie seems to be really enjoying it! Hopefully I will learn more tricks and tips as the weeks go on.
