Eleanor’s first trip to IKEA!

Stopped into IKEA with Eleanor after a doctor’s appointment today! I was going just to grab a few more of my new favorite meal prep containers there, but I couldn’t resist snapping a few quick pictures in the nursery setups. ☺️

We got quite a few “aww”, “so cute”, and “oh my goodness!” comments as we walked through, and one lady asked how old she was at checkout. When I told her “she’s actually a doll” she did not get it at first until I said “she’s not real, here, touch her leg!” She was so surprised when she realized it and asked if she could take a picture (I said yes!). The employee working the self checkout area overheard and chimed in to say “oh she’s a reborn doll!” And told me she used to watch YouTube videos of reborns when she was younger! She got a kick out of seeing one in person and out in the wild for the first time. If I wasn’t in a bit of a rush I would have offered both ladies to hold her but alas, just didn’t have time for that today. But it was a lovely interaction with both of them all the same! 🥰

Too hot for socks today! 😅

The heat index (the “feels like” temperature) right now is 109° F/42.8° C. Too hot for socks, and too hot to take a walk! So I took Eleanor along with me to the grocery store today. Shopping trips are pretty much the only outings we can do right now in this heat! 🥵

Rainy day outfit change for Eleanor! ☔️

And bonus: yesterday I took her to the grocery store in my carrier for the first time! First time carrying a baby somewhere rather than using a stroller, except for at airports & the one day I took Lorelei out while on vacation in CO. I don’t usually do it, largely because most of my “outings” with babies are just me running errands and it’s easier to grocery shop with them in the stroller rather than while baby wearing. But it was lots of fun!

Grocery shopping together! 💕

First time I’ve taken any of my girls out in quite awhile, as I’ve mostly been doing curbside pick up for groceries lately. I always get a bit nervous when it has been awhile since I have taken one out, but then I am quickly reminded how much fun it is! 🥰
