Taking a drive...

A wonderful friend of mine has a couple of weeks off and I decided to drive into the city last night to visit her. I like being able to do these things again. After DS was born I thought I'd be able to at least enjoy some of the summer, but when I had to go back into the hospital it basically took me out of the running to do anything social. Thankfully I have wonderful friends and family who visited me and kept me sane.

Now I want to go out and visit back. Just being able to get out of the house again helps me to realize how wonderful life is. I will expand on this experience in a following post, this is about DS and I hanging out last night.

I had initially planned to leave both kids at home, but realized it was much more work to pump and get engorged then to just take my little snuggly boy with me. :)

When DD was born I was way more uptight about taking her out. I was so nervous about how she would act I think she picked up on it and would freak out...lol Or she was just overly sensitive and got over stimulated quickly. Because of this I tended to keep her at home more in the early stages. DS on the other hand is just a relaxed dude. He rides in the car well, even if he cries it's not for long and then he usually nods off. When we walked around the mall he just lay in his car seat and looked around.

At one point on the drive there he cried a bit and once we got there he had this huge tear sitting on his cheek. He looked all happy at that point but that big tear was just so sad. :) He's such a little sweetie pie I love taking him around.

No one can resist those big wide blue eyes of his so I think I get stared at more now when I'm holding him than when I was pregnant. Not that I blame them, he's very cute.

And just because I need to add another picture of his extreme cuteness here he is as we were getting ready to leave last night. He just liked to smile up at my friend almost like he was flirting with her. Oh who am I kidding my son was totally flirting with her..lol It's like he's already aware of his charm, which doesn't surprise me. His daddy is a charmer too. ;)

Next up I'm have a date with my girl...who is sporting the clothes I bought her. She was so pumped about the tights I think I'm going to have to get her some more. I needed a solution of something for her to wear under her skirt so that she's not flashing her panties to everyone (anyone know how to teach a four-year-old to stop doing that?) and something warmer to wear as the weather gets cooler. I think she's going to want to come with me next time I shop...looks like we need to have a girls day soon. This mom thing is fun! ;)
