My husband and I decided that it was time to take Baby Girl out into the world to see what she thought (and if we could maneuver the "baby equipment" we have). I'll say it up front, I forgot to take pictures. Boo! We took the camera and lugged it around, but not a single picture was taken.
First, we went to the mall to try out the Baby Bjorn papoose carrier. After I got it on correctly (at first, I put it on upside down and we couldn't get the baby in it), she loved it. The only thing is she's not big enough to see out the top, so I had to hold down the top flap so she could see. She was asleep within the first 5 minutes and stayed asleep the entire time we were in the mall. Success!!!!
Then, we took her to her first restaurant. She was asleep when we walked in, so we just put the baby carseat carrier on the table and settled in for a nice meal. My husband and I had been to this restaurant so many times and never noticed how loud it is! The kitchen is open and we could hear the chef pound on the grilltop all the time. So could Baby Girl! She woke up almost as soon as we got seated and stayed awake almost the whole time we were there. She was so good....looking around at the new surroundings and just taking it all in. She got a little squirmy at the end, so I picked her up and she was perfect. Success!!!!
Lastly, we decided to try out the stroller. We took her to the grocery store and she laid in the stroller through all the aisles, cooing and enjoying the new surroundings. I think she liked the different color boxes, cans, and bags that were on her level. I even managed not to run into too many things. Success!!!!
It was a great outing. And very successful. When we came home, she laid down for a 3 1/2 hour nap. That was nice for us because we were exhausted too!
