1. To see Dr. Henley, who was responsible for the medical portion of Ian's safe arrival in the world.
2. To get weighed at his doctor's office (Mommy had a suspicion that he had outgrown the newborn insert part of his car seat, but, since it is a question of weight, wanted to be sure).
3. To visit Daddy's office so as to be admired by Daddy's coworkers.
4. Out to dinner with Mommy and Daddy (before the dinner rush).
He slept most of the time, so we're hopeful he has some sleep left for tonight.
Speaking of sleep, last night he was especially good. I think he has figured out that when he is in his co-sleeper and the lights are out, he is expected to be sleeping, or at least quiet. I actually fell asleep before Ian did, and he was simply lying quietly in the co-sleeper when I drifted off -- this after he lost the pacifier, so it wasn't just because his mouth was full. Then, he slept for almost 6 hours at a stretch. That was fabulous. We'd like to see more of that! He also went back to sleep after his early morning feeding, allowing me to be in bed about 8 hours, spending several of them asleep.
Back to today...
Ian and Dr. Henley posed for a picture.
And another, when it seemed Ian was less than properly appreciative in demeanor in the first picture.
Ian then went to be weighed. He already weighs 11 pounds 7 ounces! I'm waiting for the pediatrician to tell us to feed him less. Hasn't happened yet, though! In the meantime, we have removed the newborn insert. *sigh* He's growing so quickly!
And Ian decided to show off his work clothes and his intellectual bent (notice the Rodinesque thinker pose) when he went to see Daddy's work. The outfit (a button-down striped shirt - not tucked, for that casual flair - brown cords and white Keds)
was a huge hit, and Ian was better dressed for business than Daddy was!
As I said, all of this activity called for lots of sleep for Ian... and it wore me out, as I didn't have the option of sleeping myself while someone pushed me around in a stroller.
So, with that, I sign off from our busy day.

I love all the pictures and the narrative of Ian's very special day out. The best picture of course in the first one with the doctor.
Well, you got a winner, you know.
Goo-goo a go-go.
He looks so big, already! Aww! So much cuteness!! And, yay on the long stretch of sleep. Ian really does love his mother.
