Check Out Our Little Movers!

It seems like over night we went from rolling over, to sitting up, and finally to crawling.  Our entire class is moving around!  It is great to see all the new things they are discovering as they move.

One of the children's favorite new games is what I call "race to the top of soft city".

HAVING A BALL

With the great weather we have been having lately, we decided to get the balls out and let the babies explore them outside.

This little girl is getting a taste of the good life!

This little man is making room for everyone to spread out and relax.

Stay on your toes, this little one has great aim.

We think  it's fun to just sit back and enjoy the show!
