Our first week together completely on our own went pretty well--we emerged from seclusion into the world. We had plans every day and even got out of the house four of the five days this week. Besides your one-month appointment at the pediatrician, you met several other baby friends. A highlight of our week involved making your first official visit to Capitol Hill to see Daddy and meet his colleagues.
Driving there, finding a parking place, and walking to Daddy's office took longer than expected. Next time, once I'm fully recovered, we'll just walk from our house.
Once we arrived, you turned into Mr. Fussypants quickly. You whimpered and grumbled as people tried to admire you and pay you compliments. You were such a sourpuss that no one wanted to hold you!
We escaped to Daddy's office where he tried to soothe you.
We calmed you down long enough to get a couple pictures.
Really, Honey, why the fussiness? You're a Capitol Hill baby, so you'd better learn how to schmooze if you want to survive in this city. Or, were you trying to act like those politicians who grumble incessantly?
We have some practicing to do, and then we'll make another visit so that you can (hopefully) redeem yourself. I know you're a charmer--you can do it!
Love you,
Mommy
