christmas shopping with emma…
yesterday, we went to the mall to shop around for christmas, esp. at macy’s cuz it was a one day sale, and perze wanted to take me out for our thirtyfivesixteen. and if you know perze, that’s a big deal because he’s not the shopping type, unless it’s costco. it must be a guy thing [except rogie, jake, and alvin]. while i was shopping around, perze was walking around with emma inside the baby bjorn. i overheard joyful coos from several ladies and realized that women were cooing over emma, so it’s true what they say: ‘babies are chick magnets.’ good thing that perze has lost any interest of further magnetization. at least six people have stopped us to coo at baby. i think that is why she LOVES the mall…every visit, she is wide eyed, curious, excited, flailing her arms and legs vigorously, and making high sqeaky noises that probably reach a decimel to which only dogs could hear.
last week, we also visited the mall and impulsively decided to get her first ever santa picture [since perze nor i have never had one]. it was very easy to get her to smile because she’s a fairly amiable girl to strangers or to random people who smile at her with a funny expression. so here she is, prolly with only two things on her list: a milk castle, and new maracas [long story]:
