Amazon & Peapod = truly awesome

Posted on May 16, 2013 by therafaelfamily

Answering the door is a lot easier than trying to get out the door with a baby, I’ve decided.
That’s why I love Amazon — we’ve had piles of baby gifts delivered, plus diapers, wipes, formula, baby shampoo and anything else that we suddenly realized we needed, like more pacifiers. (Bonus: All those deliveries helped produce moving boxes for Betsy & Tim.)
I’ve also recently started using Peapod for grocery delivery, and I love that 1. The ice cream arrives colder than if I were bringing it home from the store in the car; and 2. Heavy items like cases of water are carried into the house.
I feel like Sandra Bullock in The Net.

Jesse is certainly getting around. Here he is preparing to brave his first trip to Costco with Mom & Dad. In recent days he’s also been to Target, Buy Buy Baby, Trader Joe’s, the entire length of Potomac Mills (over two trips), Whole Foods and the Galleria at Tysons. Such trips are made easier by his penchant for zonking out in the carseat — and we don’t mean riding in the car. He literally falls asleep shortly after we buckle him into the carseat in the house.
(By the way, the best changing areas he’s tested so far were at Buy Buy Baby and the restroom near Ann Taylor at Potomac Mills.)
