When Derek goes out of town, I like to set up playdates. Anyone else do this? They keep me busy and it forces us to get out of the house. So this past weekend was a total of four playdates, two for each of the kiddos!
Saturday morning started off some fun with Drew's BFF Jack. These two have known each other since they were 3 months old and it's adorable watching them play together.
Then on Saturday afternoon, a new friend had a playdate with 4 moms that we all got to know at a local breastfeeding support group while on maternity leave. Ady was the youngest (but 2nd biggest) at 6.5 months and the oldest was 7.5 months. Loved seeing these babies together!
Side note: here's another example of why I hate being so tall. Does this next picture not make me look like an elephant? Ugh.

For fun, here's a comparison of them at 2 months and 6.5ish months! (yes, the two next to Ady flipped positions for the second picture)
And then on Monday morning, I was off work and met a girlfriend and her kiddos for breakfast. Afterward we went to a local place where they could play and we could catch up!
Sometimes I'm not sure if playdates are better for the kids or moms. It's nice to let the little ones run around while we all chat away!
It is the best for both the kids and the moms!! I love when we can get out for playdates!! It looks like a wonderfully fun weekend with friends! And I spy some pretty cute moccs! ;)
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing whenever Michael is out of town! Keeps us all sane! I love the photos of Ady with the girls. That's so great you know so many people with babies around her age.
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are so fun! I always try to get out of the house on days when JJ is working. We still don't have many friends with kids but it's nice to make play dates when possible.
ReplyDeleteHow fun!! All the kiddos are adorable!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! And you are so right about the mommies needing them too!
ReplyDeleteI'm convinced playdates are more for the mom's then the kids! :) They totally rejuvenate me - must be that adult conversation! You look beautiful, no where close to an elephant! And Ady, adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteWe try to do at least one play date a weekend!! I rarely talk about it on the blog/fb/IG though b/c all our play date parents are very anti social media so no pictures ever get up on here. I need to find more families who like to over share like meeeeeeee!
ReplyDeleteAdy looks so big here! I swear you JUST had her!
(And yes - I feel the same way about being tall in pictures - but you're taller than me, so you can stand by me whenever you want!)
What a great way to pass the time while Derek is gone. They are all adorable. :)
ReplyDeleteThat a really nice way to pass the time with the kiddos. :)
