Day at the Mall

Today, on his one-week birthday, we took Caleb to Picture People at the mall for his first professional pictures. It was so much fun to take him on his first non-medical outing. I've longed to be one of the moms strolling their darling babies around the mall for ages, and today I finally got to experience it. Grandmama Susan came with us and we ended up meeting Aunt Traci for lunch at the mall as well. It turned out to be a wonderfully enjoyable day. During the photo shoot, Caleb was amazingly cooperative! He was wide awake until just before we finished, and not fussy at all. He seemed to be performing for the camera in many of the shots. Our photographer, Juliana, was amazed that he was so alert at only one-week-old. Rather predictably, I ended up spending more money than I'd planned, and even joined the photo club so we can go back several more times at a discounted rate as he grows this first year.
