out and about.

we weren't sure we were going to post on the weekends, but pop has some time tonight, so why not?

mercer and pop watched chelsea play a poor game of soccer this morning, tying lowly fulham 0-0. before mercer was born, this may have ruined pop's entire weekend, but now, just a quick look at mercer's smiling giggle-face kept the rest of the day from going pear-shaped. plus, pop trimmed mercer's claws, so that was a positive for the morning.

anyway, after the match, the family decided to go shopping for some clothing. we found mercer a few long sleeve onesies on sale at baby Gap and mom and pop managed to sneak a few things in for themselves, as well (not from baby Gap, of course). mercer was so well-behaved the entire time. he was either playing with the silly bugs hanging from his car seat, napping, or looking around and smiling. he was hit on by every female we came across, as usual.

we came home for dinner and mercer ate his squash and pears. we think he's going to sleep pretty well tonight. he was very tired when we came back from our evening coffee walk. he gets giddy after the bath and right before feeding, but his eyes slowly close once that bottle is in his mouth.

a good day for mercer. tomorrow, we have a small trip to new york planned. mercer loves the big city and seeing all the sights (women). hopefully, the weather stays as nice as it was today. even a bit colder would be fine.

there's only a day or so left to vote in the latest poll. there will be a new poll question up soon!

sleep tight.
