It was blue-skied beautiful today and we had a really nice Sunday together. Jack slept til 7:45 and woke up happy -- I went to peek in on him and there were his legs, straight up in the air as he laid there, watching his feet. (at least he was still facing the usual way in his crib, unlike Saturday when he rotated 180 degrees at some point in the night...) We had french toast and Jack had a little bit of oatmeal and banana --he was lukewarm about it-- and then went down for a nice 2 hour nap. Nat and I went down to the basement and moved Nat's workshop over and organized it, which is a preparatory step for creating the basement lounge (which, in turn, is a preparatory step towards clearing the Florida room and creating a playroom....) It was good to get some real work done on a project we've been putting off.
Then we headed over to Melinda and Will's to see their newly green living room, and from there to Aurora Farms for some aimless shopping. It was a perfect day to be out wandering at the outlet mall. I think we spent more time loitering outside the stores, soaking up the mild temperatures and the sunshine, than we did inside. Jack was a perfect baby, relaxing in his stroller the whole time, looking around, chewing like crazy on his silky blanket. Both he and the stroller recieved many, many compliments. I think it must've been a prearranged "baby's day out" at Aurora farms, judging by the insane number of strollers there... but we were the only bugaboo! Jack refused to nap the whole time, despite much stroller jiggling. He was just too interested in looking around, and in smiling at Will, who was his favorite person for the day.
We went out to supper at the Winking Lizard when we got home and Jack was really quite a riot at dinner. He ate some oatmeal like a little champ (showing off!) and then sat on my lap where he proceeded to shake, crinkle, fold up and chew on my placement, suck on my napkin, and bang his toys around untill dinner arrived. At that point he immediately wanted to nurse. :)
We paid for the long and undernapped day last night, as little guy was up at 11, 2, 4:30 and 5:30.... sigh. But it WAS a good day. And he IS a good baby.
