Quick blog ---
I picked up some nasty bug and I am feeling ickier by the moment. I am rarely sick and when I am it makes me very cranky. I am trying to hold my precious giggly baby away from my face too much so I don’t get him sick.

Yesterday I went over to our big outdoor mall (Easton Town Center for you Ohio people ) I had Boo in the front carrier facing me and he was all squirmy… I was afraid that his neck would get too tired but I turned him around to face everything and he was SO happy! I’m sure that is kind of a definitive point when they start to get really interested with their surroundings and as a first time parent I was so happy for him!
We saw all the Christmas lights and the weather was getting crisp but not below 35 or 40 so it wasn’t too bad.

My brother works for the property there and he came to meet us on his break to see his nephew.

I stopped in Smith & Hawken where I used to work and saw my 3 favorite old co-workers. I was so happy that they were all there. It was great to show off the bundle of joy and catch up on everyone’s news.

I had been through 3 baby stores but finally found a couple of adorable holiday outfits. He is getting his picture taken the day after Turkey Day and didn’t even own anything red.

I know this is short, I am not talking about food consumption because it is what it is at the moment. Not necessarily too much, just not very thought out and the most nutritional. In fact today’s menu has reflected nothing in my stomach yet except a bottle of orange juice, half a dozen cough drops and 30 oz of water because nothing sounds appetizing.

Hugs to all. Love to my soul mate Matty
