Today Tara took her first walk outside and had her first bath at home. She is also wearing socks for the first time but we're not taking a picture of that.
Her first walk, she slept through (sadly, walking her in Victoria Park at night to establish a healthy bedtime routine is not an option) and only woke very hungry five minutes before we got home.
Mummy had to pick her up and talk to her constantly, promising the joys of two breasts full of milk in only a few minutes to keep her from crying. (Scenes straight from mother and daughter horror movies went through my head - I was seriously worried I could trip and fall with her or be knocked over by a car at the traffic light. Of couse there is no such genre as mother and daughter horror movies, it would not sell, but it's amazing what new fears having a baby gives you.)
Her first bath at home was an entirely different experience from the one at the hospital, she did not complain at all (does that mean she liked it?), so I am now hereby officially endorsing and recommending tummy tubs to all mums, new mums and mums-to-be!
As for the socks, nothing much to mention there except that they are blue and have been bought by her nanna (with love). We did not, like I said, take a picture to celebrate the moment although of course we have paid it due attention and cooed over her in her darling tiny socks.
And while we're uploading pictures, let me just throw in one to show off her lovely belly button - it's an inny!
