amori's day out

after 2 sundays of hesitating, we finally heard mass with amori this sunday. since it was our first time to bring her, we stayed at the back of the church, near the exit - in case we needed a fast escape route! fortunately, we didn't have to make a quick getaway because our little princess slept quietly in her stroller the whole time. yaay!

since she was still sleeping and seemed agreeable, we decided to test our luck further by having lunch in a restaurant. we couldn't decide where since we had to consider the possibility of her hollering and needing a diaper change in the middle of lunch... so we opted for the simplest, most family-friendly place we could think of: Denny's. LOL. never mind the greasy burgers and breakfast plate... we were able to sit down and eat together - something that has been a bit of a luxury this past month!

church - check. restaurant - check. next in the list: going to the grocery. we'll keep our fingers crossed!

our adorable little princess now notices the toys in front of her, and is generally more alert and awake (as opposed to awake and crying)... we're starting to see smiles - although they're mostly because of gas or another muscle reflex and not the social response kind hahaha... but it's still a smile nonetheless. LOL.





our latest lifesaver is her Fisher Price Link-a-doos bouncer chair - the motion quiets her down, and I get to rest my arms in the process! Haha - what parents will do/buy to get their kids to calm down. before we know it, she'll be 18 and asking for a blank check or a car at the rate we're going! LOL.
