We explored downtown Baton Rouge today- Brett,Melanie, and I. There are so many random pieces of the city that are just exquisite sites to take pictures in/by/around. I definitely took advantage of my two favorite test subjects.
We used our baby Bjorn carrier for the first time! I tell you what, I don't care what other parents' opinions may be about those things...They are handy- No stroller hassles. And if one complains about the operational frustrations--- PATIENCE and the manual. Heh. But okay, okay...In all fairness they do have their disadvantages...I'll leave that for you guys to decide. It's really a matter of personal opinion.
After roaming around and ending the day with some Schlitz and Giggles' pizza,.we ended up taking a collection of good shots- some of Melanie crying...laughing..and just doing funky faces.
Oh, when our little diva gets cranky, she tends to bend backwards while kicking off of anything her feet can ground...Our little jumping bean as MaMe would say (Mrs. Laura- Brett's Mommy and my beloved mother-in-law)
Aside from her mini fit...there wasn't a person on the streets that couldn't pass up and look at her- physically stop and smile and backtrack!...Brett and I are so blessed. Our baby girl is "so precious"--> hey I'm not being bias at all...that's a quote from a stranger!
The ride home was some fun-- traffic and talking to Melanie in her car seat. It's something of a delight when your own baby starts to "coo" and respond back at you. I literally melt every time... No words or facial expressions can describe what I feel when she acknowledges me...I literally MELT.
and so, to end today's blog...
I leave everyone with this... though it may be already known...I may reiterate...
if you're ever bored..and you feel like your hometown has sucked the very essence out of you...
grab a camera and a person(s) you love and just smell the roses....take pictures and really take a look at where you live...you'll have fun and most of all you'll end the day with feeling closer with the people you take with you..and definitely fall asleep with a smile on your face.
