We've attended the group through St. Vincent Hospital since late October. Amber was 10 or 11 weeks old when we started. The group technically spans birth through 6 months but the facilitator Mary is flexible with the graduation date.
I've really valued the weekly Thurs afternoon sessions to voice questions and learn from other moms. For the first month and a half Amber slept in my arms the entire two hours each week. Contrast that to today where she was playing and rolling around on her blanket and only wanted to be in my arms for her bottle.
They provide a cap and gown for each little graduate to snap a picture. This is the biggest smile we could get out of Amber. We decided that she was taking the graduation to heart and marking it as an important milestone in her life, hence the reserved demeanor.
I'm hoping that continuing with the playgroup will keep us social and give both Amber and I some new friends! We already walk each Wednesday with a few of the moms.
