Outings

This weekend, we had some nice weather and Janie had turned one week old on Friday.  So, it was time to go for a little outing in the fresh air and sunshine.  On Friday night, Jes tried out the infant carrier.  It fits her well and he can now do the Monkey Dance hands-free!  It also allows him to enjoy a tasty beverage too.

On Saturday, we walked down to the Ferry Building/Farmer’s Market and grabbed a yummy porchetta sammich.  Janie hid under the blanket while Jes stuffed his face.  It was a little tricky making sure not to drip any of the porky goodness onto her head.

On Sunday, we used the stroller for the first time.  I took a walk around the ballpark with my mom and Koa while Jes went out for a quick run.  The cup holder came in handy for holding Jes’ water bottle.  We also discovered that Koa is very protective and attentive to the baby when we’re out in public.  He would check back at the stroller every few seconds and was extra defensive whenever another dog approached us.  It’s very sweet but he’s a bigger pain to walk with this set-up.

For dinner on Sunday, we also went out to eat at a restaurant with the baby for the first time.  We chose Public House since it would be spacious and relatively quiet inside.  The baby was asleep the whole time in the stroller and I got some tasty fish and chips.

It was nice to get outside this weekend after spending the first week indoors and the weather was perfect for our first outings.
