Ali hits the Mall!

Getting out of the house with a newborn really feels like a chore!  But I know that I need to get out there and learn to take Ali with me.  Wise moms have told me that I need to adapt Ali into our life and not adapt our life to her.  I completely agree.  That is my goal, but I think it's easier said than done.  Last Thursday, Ali and I met Season and her 7-month old daughter Avery at the mall in honor of Veterans' Day.  We had lunch and did a bit of shopping.  Of course, all of my shopping was for Ali since I still can't fit into regular clothes - bummer.  It was great to get out, but I changed high maintenance Ali's diaper 3 times in 3 hours while Season changed Avery only once!  For our first big outing, it was really nice to be with a pro mom who could show me the ropes such as how to open doors with strollers and where the good bathrooms are located.  For the most part, Ali was a sweetie and slept in the stroller. Check out our sleeping beauties, Ali and Avery!
