First Outing

The temperature finally got warm enough for us to take our new little baby outside today. After having lunch at Qdoba, our first stop was, naturally, Best Buy. Daddy had to buy a dongle ("That's what she said!").

Then we went to Mommy's favorite store, Target. It's amazing the amount of baby paraphernalia you still need to buy even if this is your second baby. Albeit, much of what I bought was duplicates of things we already have, only now it was in pink instead of blue - bibs, socks, flannel receiving blankets, things like that. Don't roll your eyes, we're doing our part to revive the economy.

Lydia reminded us that it is in some ways much easier to shop with a newborn than a toddler: you don't have to take her out of her car seat, you don't have to work around a nap schedule, because she can sleep the entire time in her bucket, she doesn't throw a fit when you pass the toy aisles, you don't have to figure out what to buy her to eat at the restaurant, etc. The main problem though is that you do have to fit your trip in between feedings, which right now are two hours apart.

Speaking of toddlers, we'll have an update tomorrow on what Rowan's been up to...
