Ava's 1st Shopping Trip

This past Saturday we took Ava for her first shopping trip. Being a nurse and all, I never thought I would take my brand new baby out in public for at least 2 months. Ava and I were both, however, in desperate need of an outing!! I was put on bed rest the week before Christmas because of my high blood pressure. So all together I have been couped up in this house for about 8 weeks, getting out only to give birth! So we loaded up the car with everything we could possibly need and headed to Raleigh. Ava did great!! Even though she looks just like her daddy, she is definately going to share in her mommy's love of shopping!! She only cried once when she needed to eat. Other than that, she slept soundly in her new stroller and let her mommy and daddy shop until they dropped! She was even kind enough to let us go out to eat lunch! I can't remember the last time we actually ate at a resturant! We had such a great day spending time as a family!!
