What We've Been Up To

Ok it's been a while since I've been on here, mainly because I'm pregnant and by the time L is asleep I want to be asleep too haha.  I just entered the second trimester though so I think I may have finally gotten my energy back!  *fingers crossed*  L watched a lot of TV during my first trimester, which I wasn't a fan of at all but sometimes you just have to do what you can.  We did do a couple activities.  The first one we did was to make bubbles.  I just put food coloring and water in a large glass bowl, then sat it on the ground and gave L a whisk, put in some dishwashing soap and showed him how to stir the bubbles to make bubbles appear.  He had a great time trying to stir and make more bubbles appear!
 We went to the park...L loves swinging more than anything!  It was a bit cold though so we didn't get to stay as long as we had originally wanted to.

L is really into his fiber optic light now.  Every time we go into the play room I have to turn it on for him.  He takes various objects from the play room and drops them down on the light to see what happens haha.

I incorporated a few natural elements into the playroom, a basket of stones and a basket of shells.  L loves to play with both of those!  The stones usually end up all over the floor and he likes to examine each shell individually.

I'm so happy to have my energy back so that we can start doing the fun, messy activities again!!  I've really missed playing with him, but at least we did get to do a few things.  :)
