Dear Conor,
Today was one of the busiest days we have had since coming home on Friday. We got up around 8am and started our day with a feeding and diaper change. Then it was time to relax a little bit before your Grandma Mary, Aunties, and Grandpa Adam arrived.
When they arrived we celebrated Auntie Sarah's birthday. It is really on the 20th but since she was here we had a little cake for her and let her open her present. We got her some nice lotion and bath gel as well as a sweatshirt from Aeropostale.
Then, once everyone had a chance to hold you - it was time to go on a little adventure to the Maine Mall. This was your first shopping trip AND your first time riding in my truck! We went to the mall to pick up your Dad's christmas present. You had already bought him his Christmas gift a while back when you were still in my tummy but I had to wait and wait for his gift to arrive (we got him the Iphone 4S).
While we were at the mall we walked around for a bit and went into Old Navy. We didn't find a winter hat for you but Grandma Adam found one for himself and I bought some clothes to wear until I fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes.
After shopping we decided we were hungry so we went to Unos! This was your first trip to a restaurant and you did really well. You slept while we ordered and ate. You only woke up when we were waiting for the bill. But - you woke up very hungry and upset. I tried to soothe you in the restaurant but you simply were not going to have it and so I ended up taking you to the truck to feed you. Auntie Danielle came along too so we chatted while you ate. You were very content to feed in the truck and I am so thankful that you are not super picky about how you eat or where - it will make road trips a lot easier!
After you were done eating it was time to say goodbye to everyone and head home - this was the first time you and I drove alone together. We had a great time listening to Christmas music (I really think you slept while I sang) and when we got home your Dad was very happy to see us!
We spent the rest of the night relaxing on the couch together as a family before heading to bed.
xoxo
Mom
