Baby's first Target trip awwww


Oh my goodness. The little lady isn't even a week old yet and she's been indoctrinated into the goodness that is Target.
Mom was a little worried about taking the little lady out but I think she'll be OK. We only let two homeless men hold her so she should be fine and free of disease for now. One of the men had a bit of an oozing sore but he assured me the folks at the free-clinic said it was nothing. He was nice enough so I figured what the heck.
Mom, a self-confessed Target-Fiend(tm) shed a tear as her little shopper-to-be crossed that magical threshold near the dollar items.
We're so proud.
In all seriousness, today was the second time we've taken her out because, well, we were getting a little stir crazy here in the house. Being the google-freak that I am, I tried to find opinions online for when it's ok for a proper trip out with a newly birthed earthling. And of course, since it's the Internet every whackjob out there can publish info (I'm not being elitist and excluding myself here :-) ). The info I found online ran the gammut from 6 weeks, to people talking about going to a Phish concert on the way home from the hospital (sweet).
So today Lucy got to meet her Great Grandpa Copeland down at the family hardware store in Clinton, SC and also spent some time with my own dad and my niece Lexie who was just about as sweet as she could be today.
Oh, and she went to Target.
