Running Errands and Other Fun Stuff

Dougie, you and I had a lot of fun today.  While your mommy was getting ready to run errands, DeeDee held you and, since you were awake (for a change), we were able to play. I took your soft little rattle and shook it for you. You loved it and followed the sound with your eyes--you even turned your head to follow the sound when I moved it way over to the side. I cannot believe that you are able to do that when you are only 12 days old!!

You just loved following the sound of your rattle

We had a great time running errands with your mommy. She let me stay in the car with you while she ran into the stores so that all of the people would not want to talk to you and breathe on you. We don't want you to get sick. There is a lot of flu and colds going around right now. You slept for the entire time we were on our outing. You really like your car seat.

When we got home, you were still sleeping, so DeeDee was able to hold you while your mommy ate her lunch. Then mommy fed you because you were really hungry. After you ate, DeeDee held you while your mommy made her nursing cover, which she will need this weekend because you are going to have lots of company for your Baptism on Saturday.

Great Grandma Dugie and your cousins Emily and Gregory came to see you. And then two of your mommy's friends from the Marist front office brought some food and spent some time playing with you. After that, you were ready to eat again, and sadly, it was time for DeeDee to go home. I won't get to see you tomorrow, Dougie, because I have to teach the big 7th grade kids.  I will see you on Saturday for your Baptism.  Maybe we can talk your mommy and daddy into letting you try Slopes for lunch!!
