First trip to the mall

We took Ellie up to Lansing ("Ma! We're headin' to town! Need anything from the gen'ral store?") because Tina wanted to go to Friday's (their new Cinnabon Cheesecake was actually disappointing. Way too sweet for me.) and Barnes & Noble. The trip went fine. Tina was happy she could reasonably shop at Christopher & Banks, her favorite store. T's already lost all the weight she gained in pregnancy. (Woo-hoo!) And that she can shop for pretty princess stuff at Disney.

Actually, it was basically Tina's trip to the mall. Fine with me, & Ellie didn't seem to mind much. She slept & got fed.

One thing I noticed: in about 2 hours at the mall, fewer people stopped and smiled at her as did in about 15 minutes in the lobby at church last Sunday (which was, naturally, Ellie's first time in church - the music didn't even wake her up). Different crowd, to be sure. We got a couple of "tiny baby" comments, and the waitress at Friday's was endlessly fascinated with whether she (Ellie, not the waitress) was awake or asleep.
