Peyton's First Big Outting

We wasted no time to take Peyton on her first big day out and about.

Thursday morning, we got up and got everything together for our trip to Grandma and Grandpa Vanderlinden's. R took advantage of her not having much to wear to have her wear her onesie that I had bought to give to him when we found out we were pregnant- Yes daddy really did pick out her outfit to take her out like this.

On the way there, we stopped at R's work so that he could show Peyton off to some of the girls that he works with. We also go to see Aunt Bonnie for the first time, we called her when we got there and she came down to see her.
After R's work, we worked our way closer by stopping at Papa's work, so that he could show her off right before lunch.

Then off to the Mall of America- yep that's right, we took our 3 day old little one shopping at MOA! We went for 2 reasons, one it had been a long time since we have been down that way so that meant we needed to stop to get some Panda Express- Yummy! And then we walked around the mall going to all the childrens clothing stores looking for some newborn cloths for Peyton since we had not bought too much NB sizes because we didn't think that she would be in that size for too long since most says it's to 7lbs. We bought a lot of 0-3 month old clothing but it's too big, so we stopped at Gymboree, Children's Place, Carters and the Disney store... and believe it or not, we didn't buy anything! None of the stores had really anything that was for newborns... well cute stuff for newborns! So much for taking her out shopping!

When we got to Grandma's and Grandpa's we took a trip to Target to get Diapers and see what they have for some newborn clothing, and Grandpa bought Peyton a couple warm outfits. With the unusually cold weather we were having, we needed to get some warmer clothes for her to wear.

While at Grandma's she took some pics of Peyton in one of her new outfits that Grandpa had just bought her.

R said this is Peyton doing her "What" face, we have dicided that that is going to ber her first word because everytime R is talking to her he says "Whhaaat" (it doesn't type out very well)

More and more she's getting her daddy's face, she might have my nose but she is her daddy's girl. They feel asleep on me this morning, Peyton on my stomach and R on my arm and it was like looking in a mirror, same facial expressions and sleeping positions while they sleep.

That's our little chunker- Already eatting 3oz each feeding! Mama's little dancer??? Some day???
