Time to Play!

Audrey's favorite recreational thing to do (besides watch our faces) is to play on her activity mat.  She's not doing too much on it yet, obviously, but we try to do at least a few minutes of tummy time on the mat as well as about twenty minutes on her back looking at the different animals and patterns.  At that point, she gets pretty frustrated and bored and wants to do something else.  I've been putting her on the mat a couple of times a week over the last two weeks, and just the last time she got the idea of how to make the dangling animals move on her own, so she gets pretty excited about hitting them with her balled-up fists.  I wanted to take a video, but my camera batteries died after taking these pictures :(  We're also battling runny eyes right now, so her eyes are just a little red in all the photos:

Max gets curious

Her favorite animal is the orange giraffe with the green star

Max gets in on the action by swatting at the animals

When he tries to bite the animals, I have to shoo him away :(

Max waits patiently until I let him come back to play with Audrey

About to punch the giraffe!

Good thing Max likes to play with Audrey!  Tiger and Keebler don't find her interesting enough to play.  What lazy cats!
