Adalie's first walk




Today was Adalie's first walk. It felt like such a big accomplishment! We were able to get ready and out the door without any tears. We walked down to the mail boxes. It is a little over a half a mile from the house. The sight of us must have been amusing to on lookers. I was decked out in my new non makeup look, happy that at least my hair was clean (not styled but clean) and one of Ricks oversized jackets to keep Adalie and myself warm. Adalie was tucked into her Ergo carrier and fast asleep as soon as we started the walk - what an awesome happy baby. I honestly think that a couple of the cars that past us thought about stopping and offering us a ride. I can just imagine what people must have thought, "oh that poor new mother who has to walk to get her mail, oh and her jacket doesn't even fit". However, the smile on my face for getting out of the house must of shown that I was having more fun than a walk should warrant. Tomorrow off to see Uncle Jon and help him with the business postcards :)
