I put the baby in the front pack to go for a short walk this afternoon. I’d like to say it was because we had a leisurely day just made for fresh air and exercise, but it was really the only free thirty minutes that we had available today and a.) we were just walking around the corner to the new bakery in the neighborhood because b.) I needed to break a twenty to come up with thirteen and a half dollars to take to E’s daisy scout meeting which required c.) me finding a perfectly reasonable excuse to buy a coffee at said bakery mentioned in point a. The fresh air and (wee tiny bit of) exercise did me a world of good, as did seeing this cutie pie in the mirror right before we left. I was washing my hands and realized that I needed to grab the camera because we are hardly ever in a photo together. I’m usually on the other side of the lens and both the camera and the readers of this blog are all the better for it. But I liked this series and my curious baby who wants to grab hold of everything. The hat helps some – it distracts her enough from the camera to cast a few admiring glances at herself in the mirror. And (bonus) it protects that precious little head from coffee drips. Plans for this weekend? Longer walks with this little one, and certainly more bakeries and coffee cups. Enjoy yours…
