Mason,
We've had quite the week. Besides our shopping excursion, we visited Daddy at his work for lunch, met baby Caroline, and took a family walk on Veterans Day, when Daddy was home with us.
We strolled from our house to Daddy's office this time, and it worked out so much better. It was a beautiful day, and you can't beat the view.
Daddy works long days and doesn't get to see you much during the week, so he appreciated our visit. Plus, you can't beat lunch in the Longworth cafeteria!
You were really good and allowed Daddy and me to finish our lunch before you woke up to eat your own.
On Thursday, we went over to my friend Allison's house to see her and to meet your baby friend, Caroline. You did a great job of being gentle with her.
Today was chilly and windy, but we took you out anyway to get some fresh air. We live within walking distance of some beautiful landmarks. Here you are in front of the Supreme Court building.
And this building should look familiar to you.
Washington, DC is a pretty neat hometown, huh? Not too many babies grow up with the United States Capitol and pretty monuments in their backyards.
Daddy and I relish strolling the city streets with you. It's no wonder you have a love/hate relationship with the car--you hardly ride in it.
Love you!
Mommy

Capitol Hill visit
Mason,
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
