Our neighbors, Kathleen and Matt, brought Katie down for a play date on Saturday. James and Katie seem to be really in-tune with each other -- they both woke up at the same times from their naps (her afternoon and his morning) so it worked out well! Easton was waaaaayyyy too excited with another baby and adults sitting on the floor (he thinks anyone on the ground is there to play with him) so he got to spend some time in the sun room (it was a nice day out and he got a peanut butter-filled Kong treat). Katie had fun teething on James' keys and he had fun teething on her duck toy (neither of them have teeth yet at +8 months old, again, in-tune). They will still be in the independent-play stage for awhile, but they did acknowledge each other's presence every once-in-awhile :-) They really enjoyed the stacking table and knocking the blocks off it (Katie can even hold her balance for a bit already)!
James had such a great time! He was so tuckered out he went down for a 2 hour nap when they left! We've started to use one of the ottomans to block off his path from the family room to the kitchen (give him some room to play but keep him contained a bit, ya know) and he loves to stand up and use it for balance as he watches Daddy in the kitchen (Jimmy made homemade chocolate cookies, yummy)! The nap also helped Pops and GG be able to see a happy baby as we Skyped with them in the evening....technology is so useful sometimes!
