Mondays Outing

On Monday the whole family went on a little adventure. It was our second non-essential outing. Dad came home from work early so mom could make it to a doctors appointment. After Dad got home Mom decided that Emerson needed to tag along so Dr. Bush and his nurse Mallory could see how handsome he was.

We all loaded up in the car and after driving for just a few minutes Emerson fell asleep. When we got to the Doctors office Mom carried Emerson in and even managed to autograph the sign in sheet with Emerson in her arms. Next we waited in the 1st waiting area for about 15 minutes and Emerson slept the whole time. He made a few squeaks but mom quickly calmed him down.

We were called back and this is where dad got a little worried. Mom had to pass Emerson to dad so she could go back for them to draw blood, etc. Well that woke Emerson up but dad was able to quickly quite Emerson back down and he fell back asleep, before mom was done with having her blood drawn. Emerson them slept in dads arms for about 20 minutes in the 2nd waiting area. At this point we have survived the worse Emerson slept through the entire time he was around other people.

Mom was finally called back and Mallory immediately commented on how handsome he was. We went back to the exam room where he slept in daddy's arms for the next half hour or so. Dr Bush came and commented on how big he had gotten and was glad Emerson wasn't one of the anemic babies they see sometime.  We were walking out Emerson received more complements on how cute he was from other staff members. We made it through the whole visit without incident, no crying, didn't need to nurse, or have a leakey diaper.

Next mom and dad ran a couple of errands about half way through Emerson let us know that he was hungry and ready to eat. Dad tried to explain that it was important for us to make the next stop so his college fund could be set up, Emerson however didn't seem to understand ;)

We made it home and had a wonderful outing this past Monday.
