You are 6 days old and today you had a few firsts!
We needed to go to Fashion Valley to buy a new DSLR camera. Daddy originally did not want to spend $700 on a new camera, but once he saw how cute you were, he decided that we did indeed need a new camera.
While Daddy was at Ritz Camera, you, me and Grandma went to Tiffany and Co. to see about getting your new bracelet sized and fixed since the clasp was not closing all the way. You were only 6 days old...and one of their youngest shoppers ever. All of the employees loved how you were less than a week old and already shopping at and wearing Tiffany jewelry. I must say, I was quite proud myself.
After that, we had another first. One that I had been looking forward to for months and months. Our first lunch at the Nordstrom Cafe! Daddy had a sandwich and Mommy and Grandma shared a bowl of Tomato Basil Soup and a Mixed Chicken and Berry Salad with Champagne Vinaigrette. You were so cute and totally in-style with the other babies dining at the Cafe. There were 3 other babies in line in front of us and they too were in their Chicco carriers and had Petunia Pickle Bottom Diaper Bags.
We had a nice lunch, and then all of a sudden Mommy realized that since we changed plans (we were going to go home, get the mail and Mommy was going to pump) and went to the mall first, you had no milk and you were going to be angry and hungry after your appointment. Mommy sucked down the last few bites of lunch and rushed off to the car to try and pump. Let me tell you, the next 20 minutes were sheer chaos. Mommy was trying to get the pump to work (the batteries were in wrong), we were on the verge of running late, daddy bumped Grandma on the head with the door to the trunk, we were a bunch of frazzled messes. But not you. You slept the entire time.
Mommy finally got the pump to work as we were headed up the 163 to your appointment. Thank God Daddy thought to grab batteries for the pump or we would have been in a real pickle.
As I mentioned, today was also your first doctor's appointment. It was your first well baby visit with Dr. Shalauta. You pooped right when we got there, so it slowed down the whole strip down the baby to weigh her process. They measured your head and took your weight. When we left the hospital you weighed 8 pounds 4 ounces, and at the doctors today you weighed 8 pounds 7 ounces. You gained weight just like you were supposed to.
