I took Riley to story time at the library on Monday and she loved it. I was quite surprised by how much she loved it. She smiled, laughed, babbled and seemed to really enjoy the stories, songs and dancing. We will continue to go for sure!
I also started a Mommy & Me Yoga class. I have been going the past 5 weeks and have 5 more to go. Riley lays next to me on her own little yoga blanket and she plays with her toys while her Mom tries her hardest to perform the poses and regain her strength back! It's great because if any of the babies get fussy, the instructor will pick them up, or show us how to hold our baby while doing the pose. I'm taking this class with two other girlfriends, and we often grab lunch or coffee afterwards...ahhh...the life of a mother!
Do you have favorite activities to do with your baby? I'm always looking for more ideas!

hi elizabeth! swimming is so great! we've been doing swim lessons with kellen for about four weeks now and we all just love it.
other things we have been doing:
*gymboree classes - these are just so great. not sure if you have a gymboree near you - if so, we took advantage of a three week free trial they are offering until June. so much fun!
*the baby swings at the park - free and easy. so much fun to see the smiles on kellen's face when he's swinging!
*blowing bubbles in the backyard. gymboree has THE best bubbles. if you don't have one near you, you can buy them online and i really think they are worth it. lots of little bubbles that last and so good for tracking and reaching. we have little bubble songs we sing too.
*we checked out a book called Pee Wee Pilates at the library and it's basically little pilates moves for the babe! along those lines, we've also been trying to do some baby massage. lots of books at the library about that,too and it's nice and relaxing...when we can get kellen to lie in one place, at least!
i also can't wait to take him to the zoo, summer concerts in the park and at the zoo and the farmer's market!
oh and that little pink and green polka dot swim suit is killing me! riley is TOO cute!!
this photo is too cute for words! your daughter is just amazing. loved reading about mom & baby yoga... i have thought about signing up for a class too...we'll see!
we're thinking about you today as you run your half-marathon! so inspiring, elizabeth! i can't wait to hear all about it. you should feel so proud of yourself! :) what's next? :)
