Granted, she enjoyed a multitude of their products in utero (okay, it was her primary food source…), and her last trip to the store was 3 and a half days before she was born (when one of the store employees gave me a bouquet of flowers since I was so near my due date).
However, this was her inaugural trip in person, and I think she’s already a fan. I even reminisced with the guy at the checkout about the day that she will get her first TJ’s balloon. I’ll be so proud.
Our friend Liza got us this milestones calendar with stickers so that if you’re not good about documenting events and writing things down (like me), you can just grab a sticker and mark “first doctor visit,” “first bath,” “first word,” etc. They don’t have one for First Visit to Trader Joe’s (a disappointment), but it’s going on the calendar anyway.
I should have taken a picture at TJ’s, but I didn’t think about it. I did, however, take one when we got home. Doesn’t she look like a very satisfied customer?
I think the excitement of it all was just too much for her.
Note: I forgot to take a picture of her on her one month birthday, but I remembered to take one on this day. How jacked up are my priorities??
Caution: this next part contains details that are not for the squeamish. It’s all very natural, but I just wanted to warn those of you who are easily embarrassed.
Yesterday was also the first day I’ve ever squirted milk. I’ve certainly leaked it before, but it’s never shot out like that until yesterday afternoon! A friend had told me about this, but I still laughed when it happened. Thankfully, it didn’t hit Cora in the face, but it was a near-miss. Isn’t the female body crazy??
I am so jealous that you guys get to go to Trader Joes. I really miss that store. Oh well maybe one day we will move again and be close to one or we they will finally bring them to Texas. You can make any picture you want your one month pics why not this one.
