When I was working (or some would call me a workaholic) I never understood what a stay at home mom did all day. I used to think to myself how strange it would be if I had a baby and took a year off for maternity leave (what you get in Canada!) and just do nothing. Now staying home with Nathan I totally laugh at how I used to think of how stay at home mom's do absolutely nothing!
The days go by quickly and Nathan is a day away from being 9 months. Nathan and I like to play every day and go for walks but we manage to do some fun things together. As a mommy my goal is to find adventures for Nathan and I to explore! Below are a few activities we have done together thus far.
Local Richmond Recreation Center has a fantastic Tot Play Gym Play time twice a week. The gym is usually filled with over 25+ kids! Nate always has a good time watching all the other big boys and girls.
myGym is a great facility that cousin Jason and Daniel Szeto recommended to Nathan and I. Nathan got to swing on the trapeze, swing and play with a lot of balls!
Nathan and I wouldn't be able to do all these activities without going out for a bite to eat. We enjoyed ramen together and he sat across from me surprisingly letting me enjoy my lunch!
Gymboree of course was part of the mix and Nathan stared at the teacher because her singing voice was so different!
Nathan attended his first birthday party and did well playing with others.
Our local library has a great Baby Rhyme time every Wednesday and there is always TONS of babies!
The best activity thus far is swimming lessons at La Petite Baleen near Crissy Fields. Nathan loves the water!
All the activities typically pooped Nathan out...
But at the end of the day Nathan and I have typically have a great time at home. We play and I make sure there are plenty of giggles!
Until the next blog post! Nathan sends kisses and hugs to everyone!
