First trip

Today was the first time we took little Anouk out to explore the wide world. She enjoyed the ride to the Marina district in her cool little car seat. We put the car seat in the stroller and walked around to get some necessary nursing accessories. We had a latte in one of the coffee shops, and she slept through all of it. Then we drove to Crissy Field and showed her the Golden Gate Bridge and the skyline on a typical breezy San Francisco day. She acknowledged the beauty, but sleeping seemed a lot more interesting....




The loading and unloading was a lot easier than we thought, so we are now all set for all kinds of trips in the City etc. :-)

Of course, I have been taken a LOOOOOOT of pictures, here are some of the highlights:




Her crib seems a little big for now, but we really like it :-) Thanks, Reba.

Swaddling really makes her sleep better, even though she looks like a little burrito. Sabine has been breastfeeding her, which seems a little painful but is working. It helps with diaper changing, since it doesn't smell nearly as bad as formula. We are also using cloth diapers with plastic shells, and we wash them ourselves. I just finished the first load, and they came out clean. Whatever we can do to help the environment, so our daughter can also enjoy it:

My mom tells me that her living room looked the same when I was a kid, it is funny how some "old-fashioned" things are not as bad as we once thought. It takes about 100 years for a Pamper to be broken down in landfill.

More pictures soon :-)
