Children's Museum, take 2

Last week, Aunt Caitlin accompanied us to the Children's Museum downtown before she hopped on her Bolt bus back to the Big Apple. I took Finley once before months ago and longed for a slightly older kiddo who would be able to explore the place more fully. Well, he was a lot more independent this time, so that was excellent...maybe another few months and he'll have the run of the place!

Finley really loved the giant ducks in one of the playrooms and while he was licking it, he also enjoyed leaning back and forth on it (as intended).

We spent most of our time in the crawlers only room (we didn't have to heart to keep our pre-crawling guy out of it on account of semantics).

Dan thought maybe he'd be encouraged to crawl on the bumpy mat, so we tried that. No luck, but he did find his-adorable-self in the mirror!

After all the hard work he'd done, he just wanted to lay around which made for some spectacular close ups!

Then, we headed out to look around at the rest of the museum since neither Caitlin or Dan had ever been there before. Jackpot, the construction zone! A father and son moment :)

Aunt Caitlin wanted to get in on the fun, so off she went!

Before we left this exhibit, we thought Finley might need a drink (the kid does love water). Not sure he fully understood what was going on, but he did get a mouth (and nose) full of water!

On our way out, we went back in the Bubble Room because Dan was eager to try and get into the bubble tower.

He got it up to about his waist before it popped, not bad!

Thanks for visiting, Aunt Caitlin! See you in August!
