The Infant Room Insider 3.16.07

Welcome to the first edition of the Infant Room Insider.

This week in the Infant Room, we had our pictures taken! We're all amazingly cute in everyday life, but just mention the words "photo shoot" and we're gorgeous, dahling! We had a lot of fun taking pictures and we're excited to see the prints in a few weeks.

Our Insider on the Floor files this report:

On the north side of the room, our new friends Milo, Ben, and Josie are enjoying rolling around, batting things in bouncy seats, and chillin' in the swings. Music and cuddles are what these beautiful babies are all about.

Olivia was spotted looking elegant in fabulous sweater sets this week. She's sitting up with support like a pro and can even sit without support for a few minutes with a teacher to spot her!

On the south side of the room, Albert was visiting and enjoying some fun with the older kids.

Elise was spotted walking with only one of Mommy's hands to support her! Elise is making lots of sounds and calls for her friend Ada. She's giving the cat at home something to worry about.

Ada can be seen cruising the room at an amazing speed. She has mastered the art of giving and receiving, and she even says the word, "Yes!" You always know when Ada wants a hug, as she holds her arms a certain way. Our Ada is now 1 year old!

Conor is crawling!! Last Friday, he was putting it together at school by making a run at his bottle. Now there's no stopping him!

Jackie, Luke, and Polly are working on crawling and standing. Jackie was spotted standing at the toy table and holding on as if she's done it all her life.

Maja has mastered the pincer grasp and can sit in a high chair for an hour as long as there's finger food. She's waving and pointing at everybody! Maja and her friend Elise had fun frolicking in the pool on Tuesday.

We thank our Infant Room teachers for a wonderful week -- Picture Day was very busy for them. We missed Theresia for a couple of days but we're glad she's back. We wish the best to Pattie as her daughter recovers from having her wisdom teeth out. Susan and Dina, thanks for holding down the fort and being so great to work and be with.

Sadly, we have to say goodbye to Meredith. The youngsters took to her like ducks to water, but as Meredith says, "It's time for a new adventure." She's excited about the idea of traveling. Who knows, but you may meet Meredith in Ireland someday if your luck is in! Good luck, Meredith, and keep in touch!

That's it for this edition of the Infant Room Insider! If you have a scoop for the next edition, please feel free to post it in the comments. Enjoy!
