I am finally starting to feel more comfortable taking Charlie out and about. Before, I was nervous because he was so small and didn't have his shots. I am also not a fan of nursing in public (even though I have the shawl) so I had to figure out when I could go somewhere and then make sure I got back in time to feed him before he'd freak out. I was starting to get really stir crazy so after attending a few Mommy and Baby groups and seeing how the other moms work I decided to just go for it. I nursed at my Mommy group today for the first time (I was fully covered)! I feel like Charlie sleeps so much better at night if he is out enjoying the sights instead of just staying home and playing inside our house with just me. I am also figuring out going out to eat without Charlie crying in the restaurant. I would get so anxious before going out but now I know that Charlie is such a good baby that the chances of him crying are small to begin with! I'm a lucky mom to have such a mellow baby!
We went to our first Mommy and Baby yoga class last week. Charlie slept the whole time but it felt really good to get out and be with other moms and also get some exercise too. We were planning on going again this week but the instructor was out sick...We'll just have to try again next week
Auntie Bridget joined Charlie and me for an outing last Friday. I had been given a gift certificate for hand and foot prints done in clay so to celebrate Charlie's 2 month birthday we got his prints done. He was such a trooper considering how I had to contort his little body so he didn't mess up the clay. I get the finished product in a few weeks and I can't wait. A few of the other customers at the store even watched him get his prints done because he is just that cute!
I love the quiet times Charlie and I share at home but now that I know what to do when we go out I feel so much better and definitely more relaxed. I still try to keep him away from big groups and lots of other kids - mainly toddlers- because he is still young.
I am so in love with this little guy. Charlie brings so much joy to me and Tony too. We are truly blessed and couldn't be happier!

Charlie really is a well-behaved and mellow baby. Plus, he can say hello. That's pretty impressive. I'm glad you're feeling more comfortable taking him out.
