Sawyer's first shopping excursion

Sawyer's first shopping trip to DM was a success! it actually went as smoothly as anyone could hope for an hour long car ride each way with an exclusively breastfed 2.5 month old. especially considering that recently sawyer has decided he hates his car seat! uncle marcus rode in back with sawyer on the way to dm because he felt to tired to drive after last night's first place track meet (and first place long jump-go uncle marcus!) that didnt end until 11! sawyer got mad about being in the car but then sucked on puppy a bit and took a few sucks on his (pumped milk) bottle and finally took a little nap until we got to dm! he rode in the baby bjorn for a quick old navy trip and picked himself out an outfit to wear to track meets, and a cute sun hat and shorts. my mom bought me an adorable brown dress as part of my birthday present and we had to get one of the sales girls to get it off the mannequin for us because it was the last small- and i wasnt convinced i could fit my new breastfeeding sized chest into an xs and there was NO way the xxl was going to work. then it was over to costco- the most important stop! sawyer was almost out of wipes AND diapers so this was a very important stop! he did great the whole time! he rode in the bjorn and looked at everything and then just drifted off to sleep until it was time to go! he is now the proud owner of 206 kirkland diapers. here is uncle marcus helping with the giant box of dipes- look at those muscles. this will last us about a month- hence the size 3 instead of 1-2. i think he wouldnt have lasted in the 1-2's another month since they only go up to 15 lbs.















as a side note until the cloth dipes i ordered to try out arrive, costco dipes = awesomeness. ive used pampers, huggies and these and i do like pampers swaddlers the best, but for the price and the giantness of the box you get costco wins- they sell huggies at costco too but seriously the kirklands dipes kick huggies butt- i will never buy huggies again! gross. the huggies wipes however i do enjoy, i havent decided between the kirkland wipes vs huggies wipes yet, they are almost the exact same price per wipe... i bought 1,704 wipes today- wow i know- it will last 2-3 months i hope. kids=adorable but not cheap! if i like using the cloth dipes (more on that in another post once they arrive) i will think about also doing cloth wipes...
here is how sawyer spent his shopping trip- all snuggled up!















and here is sawyer on the way home! he woke up and was happy for quite a while while i rode by him and we chatted- then got mad about being in his carseat, threw a fit for a few minutes and slept the rest of the way back to grandmas- he woke up once we got home, played a bit and has since been taking a giant nap! so much stimulation!
















loving puppy, and glad to be done shopping

















loves to bite puppy's face, ears and arms!
















lets go home and see daddy!
















yay! we are going home! i did good




















sawyer and the "pub mix- new LARGER size" which turned out to be a great buy at about 5 bucks for like 3 pounds of "gardettos on crack" as zach described it -because he thought it was tastier than gardettos, but with some similar elements such as those yummy brown rye chips, breadsticks and pretzels.

basically all in all sawyer did great with no public meltdowns, blowout dipes, lost socks, ect. next time we will tackle the mall- no time today! and when we got home i seriously used the last wipes in the wipe warmer- luckily we have 1,704 to refill it with!
