adventures in Gabriel-land

Life with an infant is as adventurous as can be! My first trip to Walmart solo (with Gabriel) felt like a hazing ritual. I fed and changed him in the car and then put him in the Moby wrap. I left the car seat in the car because I had a bunch of stuff to get and I wouldn't have had room if the car seat was in the basket. Well he starts screaming, turns out he was too hot so I took off his sleeper and now he is only wearing a onesie and no socks (bad mommy). He is happy now that his little naked legs and feet are hanging out of the wrap. We continue shopping and now I have a very heavy cart when he decides to scream again and flail around trying to escape from the wrap. The wrap ends up so messed up its not holding any part of him in so I am now holding him and trying to push the very heavy cart one handed. He continues to scream and flail during check out and fell asleep the second I put him back in the car seat. Little guy must have been overtired and there was just so much to see at Walmart he didn't want to miss anything. Next day we decide to go to take pics with the Easter bunny with BOTH Gabriel and Rusty. WTF was I thinking? But in the end we got a pic with the Easter bunny with both of them. Just had to hold Rusty physically in place...
