Some more "firsts"

First, I broke down and started using a diaper bag for the first time last night. I had just been putting a couple diapers and wipes in my purse (it is pretty big), but all the moms at our classes had diaper bags, so I felt like I wasn't as prepared as they were (for what, I'm not sure!). So, I got the diaper bag out (thanks auntie Kelsie and Memere) and filled it with stuff I probably won't need very often...but I'll have it!

Second, Finn wore "shoes" for the first time yesterday. Sorry, I can't remember who he got them from...but they are all soft and more like slippers than shoes, but the LOOK like shoes. They were so cute and they even stayed on.

Third, Finn is wearing shorts today for the first time! He woke up feeling a little warm to Jim and me, so I was finally able to put him in the short sleeved shorts outfit from Auntie NaeNae. I haven't gotten a picture of that yet. I don't like that his little feet are cool, but I guess that isn't supposed to be a big deal with babies. Plus, we keep the house around 76 degrees during the day, so I'm sure he is warm enough!

Finally, I used the Snugli front baby carrier today, too (thanks Lisa and G'ma Walsh!). Austin and I had to go out to water our two baby trees and I didn't want to have to lug the stroller through the grass. The Snugli worked prefectly and after a few seconds of not knowing what was going on, Finn seemed to like being in it. He fell asleep about five minutes later! BUT when we came in, he set the apnea alarm off, so I'm thinking even though weight-wise he is big enough, his body might not be (he was probably squished down or something). So, we'll wait a little bit to try it again. I loved using it, though. I felt so mobile!
