Lolli's Big Day

Lolli and Lauren went to a preview class at Gymboree. There were 4 other babies in the class and only one of them was crawling, which made Lauren feel better. The class was so much fun! They played with bubbles, balls, and a giant parachute. The moms held the babies and "swung" them to help the babies kick a big ball and "play soccer." The moms laid on their backs and let the babies go "surfing" on their shins. All the moms helped their babies practice crawling and walking on the big foam gym. Lolli liked the ramp and alligator bridge the best. Then they sang some songs and played a few more games. Whew! That was an action-packed 45 minutes!

From there, Lauren drove downtown while Lolli napped in the back. They went to the zoo and met up with Darcey and Katie just in time for the elephant show. Lolli liked watching the elephants do tricks but was more entertained by trying to grab the sunglasses off of Lauren's head. After the show, Lauren and Lolli actually got to pet an elephant! Very cool!

After the zoo, Lauren and Lolli stopped by Katie's neighborhood to check out the baby swings. They weren't as safe as the one Granny P has, but Lolli liked it ok. Lauren was nervous to push her very high though, but Lolli didn't seem to mind. Once they got back home, Lolli laid down on the bed and took a 90 minute nap! She was exhausted!

This evening Zach, Lauren and Lolli went for a walk and played at the playground across the street. Their baby swing was even less secure, but again, Lolli seemed to enjoy it. She even went swinging on the big swing on Zach's lap and then Lauren's lap. She loved that and squealed a lot!
