Out Strollin'

God Bless April.  It is gorgeous here in Roanoke and Elliott and I are loving the beautiful days.  We have officially taken it to the streets in our super fancy Graco stroller.  Now don't get me wrong, I love the stroller.  But truly Spencer and I picked the largest and heaviest car seat known to man: the Graco Safe Seat.  I love the car seat and matching stroller's modern colors of chocolate brown and lime green as they highlight Elliott's giraffe print diaper bag.  But who are we kidding, that car seat heavy.  And she's only over 8 pounds.  God help us when as she gets bigger and bigger.  Now imagine placing the world's heaviest car seat into an already heavy stroller.  If the marathon breast feeding doesn't take off the pregnancy pounds, pushing that enormous contraption around certainly will.  

Elliott made her first Roanoke bar scene appearance at Trio for the Dog Park cocktail fundraiser last Wednesday.  While our visit was a long 45 minutes due to a minor meltdown and a demand for dinner, we had a great time.  Elliott also won the award for youngest party goer at J.B. Clements 1-year old birthday party on Saturday.  She beat out another newborn who was 2 weeks older than she.  Maybe next year she can join the other kids on the moon-bounce or get to enjoy some of Henry's Memphis BBQ.
