Today was another busy day for our family. We had to get up and get squared away (all of us) and be out the door pretty early because your Dad needed to take some pictures for work before we dropped Hunter off at the groomers. We were very successful in getting everyone out of the house by 8:30am (a miracle if you ask me). You did your part by waking up at 6:30am in eating without needing to have too many diaper changes!
Then we went to Portland but because Hunter's appointment wasn't until 10am we were a little early. So we went to Back Cove and did some walking. This was a surreal moment for us all because the last time we were there you were still in my belly and we were walking because I was a week overdue - and now we were there with you a week after you were born! The walk went well, we did about 1/4 mile before Hunter wanted to turn around (the ground was very cold and there were some slick spots that we don't think he liked very much).
Next it was off to the groomer to drop off Hunty. He didn't want to say goodbye to us - but we know he is in good hands with Michelle and the other ladies of Planet Dog. After dropping off Hunter we went to Whole Foods to get some breakfast (your first trip to your Dad's favorite grocery store) and then it was off to the mall.
We went to the mall so that we could get your picture with Santa! We did not have to wait too long in line for your picture and Santa was very excited to see you. Santa was shocked to see how little you were and said that you beat his record because the youngest visitor he had ever had was 11 days and you were only 7 days old!
We were very excited to be able to get your picture done with Santa (though a little sad that Hunter couldn't be in the picture - but we will get that one done next year!) as we got enough pictures to be able to give both your Grandmothers and Grandpa Tom a picture for Christmas as well as have one for us too!
After we did your Santa picture you needed to eat so we fed you in the car while Dad ate the rest of his breakfast. Then we went to go and get Hunter!
Hunter was almost done when we arrived at Planet Dog and he was very happy to see all of us and Michelle was very happy to see you! We paid for Hunter's grooming and bought him a few treats and then it was time for us to head home.
The rest of the day was spend hanging out at home and trying to relax a little bit. Then you spent some time alone with Dad while I went to the store in order to get frames for the pictures with Santa. Your first time alone with your Dad went very well (you slept the whole time he said). When I got home we took your daily picture:
Day 8 was a good day Conor and tomorrow your Auntie Cathlin arrives and we are very eager for her to meet you!
