stir-crazy/ 17 days old today

I've been going a little stir-crazy.
And Jamie informs me - so has my SIMS counterpart. (Sofi and Jamie have re-created our family down to the newborn baby named Zara in the virtual SIMS world).

So yesterday, I took my first solo outing without a kid in tow.

First stop: My favorite sweet indulgence (Chocolate Javakula from Seattle's Best)
Second stop: A haircut. Lots of layers. Still not used to it.
Third stop: Library. Thumbed through InStyle Magazine for my celebrity gossip fix. And picked up two more easy reads:
1) Why moms are weird / Pamela Ribon.
2) A much married man / Nicholas Coleridge.

And two recent issues of Creating Keepsakes.

It was good to get out.

I also took a bunch of photos....

Sofi wanted to take a shot holding Zara. Unfortunately, she was a little cranky LOL.

Jamie took this shot standing over us in the bed.

Today, I didn't get out much. I don't know where the day went. Aside from feeding Zara, changing her diaper and cuddling her, I cleaned the kitchen. Read. Surfed the web. Checked my e-mail. But didn't really get much more done.

While we cooked some brown rice (with the rice cooker) to eat with the second batch of chicken curry that Jamie's mom left for us, the entire family went on a quick walk around the block. We tested out the Baby Bjorn on Zara. She loved it as far as I could tell. Didn't hear a peep. Love those socks (that look like Mary Janes) that I put on her.
