Play date !

Since I am car-less right now, I find it hard to get out of the house when I need/want to. Luckily, I have a close friend who lives VERY close to me and our boys are only a week apart in age! Perfect for play dates! Another plus, we live by Lake Harveston (a residential community surrounding a Lake that has MANY parks along the path!). With the holidays passed us, we finally got a chance to get together! We walked to Lake Harveston with the boys and they played at one of the parks! They had a blast! I love seeing the interaction between Bentley and his friends; it is so sweet! They are also enrolled in the same Baby Music Movement/Sign Language class together! It is SO much fun and a blast to see the babies explore all of the different activities. It is really such a great way for them to explore new things and learn social skills (especially sharing!) 


I feel am so blessed to have the friendships that I do. When I got pregnant I had so many people (mainly friends) look down on me and turn their backs away from me. Why? I am not so sure. I mean, I was 20 years old, in a committed relationship, both of us were working, we had our own place and took care of ourselves; why was it so horrible that I was going to become a mother? I still don't have the answer. But, I am grateful that becoming a mother showed me who my true friends are. So, thank you to the ones who stuck by my side and the new friendships I have created since becoming a mommy. I truly treasure our friendship.


Before I post pictures of Bentley's outting with his sweet friend, I am going to give everyone a little update! Bentley is now TALKING up a storm. He says so much stuff (a lot of it I can't understand yet, but its definitely still words!) He says "bayooo" (balloon), "uh oh," "bubble" and of course "mama & dada." He crawls everywhere, but can stand up and walk along side things or if someone is holding his hands, he puts his shapes in his shape sorter, he puts his play coins in his play piggy bank, he saws "awwwww" when he says a baby or animal, and recently he learned how to get off the couch all by himself!!! I am such a proud mama! 


Off to do some more playing with my little man while we wait for his Grandma and Grandpa Young to come over for a visit! Another update will come soon, I am sure!
