Today we went to a parent-baby class for infants up to 3 months old. It's offered at the hospital where she was born and I was really glad we went. We started the class off with a photo shoot of all the little ones and amazingly they laid there for almost 10 minutes. Esme started to fuss so I had to plug her with the pacifier and then she lasted a few more minutes. I think she was still upset that I dressed her in clothes that were WAY too big for her but was in a rush to get out the door so didn't have time to change her again. Ha ha! Then there was a discussion about baby sign language and then an open session for us to talk about anything we wanted. It was nice to be out in public and not have to worry about breastfeeding, diaper changing, fussing, etc cause everyone was doing the same thing and we can all relate. The facilitator just kept going no matter what we were doing so it didn't seem disruptive. It was fun to watch Esme listen to all the new noises and sounds that the other babies made. She was definitely aware that we were somewhere different and she seemed intrigued. She constantly had her eyebrows up and eyes wide open, even when she was breastfeeding. The classes are held once a week so we'll definitely go back next week.
