Today we went to our first "music class". Ms. Marie works for FSU in the music department and told me about a study that one of the professors is doing (whom she works for) about how music therapy helps simulate infant development. It's a 30 minute free class in which we sing songs, do some sign language, and play with instruments and toys. The girls LOVED it! Because Marie was there with us she held H1 while I held H2. It worked out wonderfully.
H2 made a little friend at group named Dakota who is 7 months old. While each baby had a puppet toy (for a song) she crawled over to H2 and tried to take her bear puppet. Whenever she got close she just looked up at H2 and smiled H2 then proceeded to smile back. They just sat there for most of the song looking at each other and touching each others legs. It was very cute. We met two other little friends as well. Ian and Hope were both 8 months old and just cutie pies! H1 was a bit sleepy by the end of class so she wasn't quite at sociable at the end when everyone was mingling.
The girls are definitely more mobile now as well. H2 rolled over to the Christmas tree again the took one of the ornaments off it. Luckily I put all the non-breakable ones at the bottom in case the cat got frisky. She took of one of the cookie ornaments that I made whenever I was very young. She just sat there staring at it in her hand. She's so funny!
