Damien's First Play Dates

Damien has been on several walks with his pals Maya and Lucas and their mommies, but this week he had his first "play dates" indoors. The first, with Lucas, was after a nice walk which went a little too long for Damien's comfort. So, Lucas invited Damien inside to have some milk, which Damien happily accepted. After his bottle (of Mommy's milk) Damien noticed Lucas for the first time sitting on the couch next to him on Lucas' mommy's lap. Man the look on Damien's face was priceless, he was like "what the heck is that!" After a good long stare, Damien was on to more important things, like taking care of business! It was a brief, but fun play date (at least the mommies found it hilarious).

Later in the week, little Maya and her mother Odessa came over for tea and cookies (which little D helped mommy make). Maya was showing off her napping skills (an area in which Damien is having some challenges). Damien was not impressed, however, and was more than happy to be the baby of the hour. Eventually, Damien got bored with Mommy and Odessa's conversations about work and childcare and other such things and finally fell asleep. But, not willing to let Maya have the last laugh, Damien was sure to wake up first (much to mommy's chagrin).

All bundled up for a walk outside of Lucas' house in North Berkeley.

Completely enjoying his play date with Maya.
