Lil CJ's First Day Out!

On Friday (4/15/11) CJ got to experience his first full day out on the town. I remember having a little bit of anxiety because I just pictured my child screaming bloody murder with no way of calming him down.Funny thing is...he pretty much slept the whole time. My mom, Cory and I joked at how sleepy he had suddenly become. I had a clue to why he had this sudden coma due to a book I have been reading, Happiest Baby on the Block.  Our lil CJ was becoming a pro at monitoring the situmulation of his surroundings. The book described that most babies learn to basically turn themselves off or tune out the outside world if there is too much going on around them. CJ you are so advanced!!

Our first stop was to see the peditrician. CJ was so calm. I was a proud momma as I heard other kids and babies crying and my lil man was just chilling. He weighed 6.10 lbs. This was good news. He was born at 6.9 lbs and when we had left he was down to 6.5 lbs. He was also 19'' at the hospital. At the Dr.'s office he was now 19.5'' Our lil boy, growing right before our eyes.

CJ's First Dr.'s Appt.

Other stops that day included lunch, a trip to Walmart and Best Buy. Of course our cute lil CJ got attention from people at Walmart. Cj's Mina made us change checkout lanes too because the cashier had a nasty cough and she didn't want her touching our stuff. Oh Mina....better to be safe than sorry!! 

When we got home CJ must have realized he was back in a familiar place. He woke up shortly after. It was a good day!
