fun at the babygym

Lilly loves her new bouncer and activity mat. She'll talk to the little animals that move and make sounds when she hits them and pull on the butterflies that hang over her head on the mat. She lifts her legs high up in the air and talks with delight and sincerity. None of the videos do justice to the fun she has (and we have, watching her), but it gives you an idea...



At three months, Lilly has entered a new level of independent action (it's true, life does change after the "fourth trimester!"). She'll wake up and be very active on her activity mat for a while, then ready for a half hour power nap in her bed. Then up again, exploring the world, loves it when we go for a walk and she can face the world from, say her BabyBjorn (with her back towards my chest), and then hates it if I put her down in the stroller too soon. After another couple of hours she will be ready to be put down and will sleep hard for another short half hour. This continues till she's ready for bed, which happens earlier now, around 8 p.m. or so. Last week, she slept by her self (!!) a little in the evening before we came to bed.
