Impromptu play date at the playground

I have wonderfully active mom friends who are always up for a walk or a playdate or a trip to some NYC event. This afternoon, one mom texted a few of her mom friends, yours truly included, and invited us to join her daughter and her at a nearby playground. Belle and I joined. Fun ensued:

Belle enjoyed the swings, then did some standing. Belle showed off her new trick of bending down to pick something up off the ground from a standing position.

I feel so lucky to have such fun, active mom friends, most of whom have babies who were born within weeks of Belle. It was a lovely impromptu playground play date this afternoon! Belle was sufficiently worn-out and is not sleeping soundly.


Then the babies cooled off the sprinkler. After, they air-dried in the sun at their favorite standing spot (aren't naked babies the cutest?):
