Several weeks ago, Laurel’s great-grandmother gave her this soft blanket which happens to have a giraffe’s head mounted in the center of it. (Not in a Godfather way.) I’ve been using it to keep her warm this past week, the same week she’s been developing her ability to grab things. This resulted in her pulling the head up close to her face and then stuffing the nose into her mouth:
You can also see video of her burgeoning grasping skills here.
Laurel’s almost three months old now, and that’s a big milestone for babies (who, I guess, stop being “newborns” around that point). She’s getting better at holding up her head, at grabbing what she meant to grab, etc. I’m also happy to report that breastfeeding is going much more smoothly for us now, despite lots of hiccups and challenges up to this point, and so I wanted to make a small list of public places we’ve nursed during her first 11 weeks of life:
Dolores Park
Natural Resources (lots of times)
Various doctor’s offices
Various cafes
The Powell Street BART Station
Chenery Park
Chow
Thirsty Bear (nursing and tapas go surprisingly well together)
The track in San Francisco State University’s Cox Stadium (during commencement ceremonies)
… all of them without anyone giving us a hard time about it. Where should we go next?
