field trip

took my first solo (+ tiny wingman, Gibson) trip to town in 7 weeks...

we went to Rite Aid.

why Rite Aid? (undoubtedly al ame destination...) well, Rite Aid has about 7 customers total, so should Gib decide to have a tiny-baby freakout in the middle of the store, it would only bother the handful of employees...

thankfully, he slept in his carrier the whole time, so i got to peruse the shampoo and lip gloss options uninterrupted. oh yeah, and we hit up the diaper aisle and junk food sections too.

yay for cheap thrills!

@ 5 weeks

panic face! camera flashes are scary!!

overall, he's pretty nice.

• ~ he kindly sleeps for a 4 or 5 hr stretch every night, which we all appreciate.
• ~ he is just starting to smile, which is fun.
• ~he is losing most of the hair up front, except for about 4 really long strands. combover!!
• ~ he DOES get super cranky at about 6 each night (at which point I get super cranky and enlist Mitch the baby-whisperer to make him happy(er).)

~ oh yeah, and he screams when you put him down (even in a swing or bouncer) for more than 1 minute...*sigh* good workout for the arms/back, right? I thank GOD multiple times daily for my front pack carrier!
