Getting Involved

When Anderson turned three months old things became a lot easier for me. Before then I felt there was no predictability in his eating or sleeping routine. He also hated the stroller which was a big issue. He only really liked being carried in the Ergo Carrier which was fine with me, but it definitely narrowed down things we could do. Taking him to the mall in that thing was a ton of work and I remember wanting to try on clothes and not being able to! So, since around three months things are definitely a lot more fun. This past month I've seen his little personality start to come out and I realized it was time to start socializing with other babies and moms. In all honesty before this month I've been perfectly content relaxing since I had many tired days and I really enjoyed our bonding time. But now that the weather has made it harder for us to get out I really want to get involved in activities to keep us busy as well as meet other moms and babies for him to socialize with.

Today was our second time going to Itsy Bitsy Yoga and again it was so much fun! There were so many more moms and babies there today so it was great to see everyone and learn new songs and yoga positions to do with Anderson. A mom mentioned to me going to a music class the day before so I realized there must be a ton of different things I can be doing that I just don't know about. Granted, I don't want to spend a ton of money! Yoga classes are not the cheapest but I was sure there had to be mom groups that met to go on walks and have play dates. So while Anderson slept I discovered a website meetup.com. Who knew such a thing existed?! I plugged in Baby, Mom, and Hoboken, and I instantly found two mom groups that I joined. It emails you when the next activity is going to be and makes it so convenient to go online, look at all the moms and their pictures, and sign up for the next thing.

This Thursday there is a Mommy group meeting for Stroller Moves and "Momilates". Sounds fun until I realized it's $16. That would have been fine but since I already paid that much for our yoga class this week I've decided to only look for a free meet up. Keeping my fingers crossed I'll find one! : )
