Lauren and I have an ongoing scheduled "date night" every Tuesday where we spend time together, go out to dinner, or go somewhere special. We decided to make today a date day with family flair so we went to the mall this afternoon to look for clothes for Lauren and to introduce Oz to the North Dekalb Mall.
It was cold so we bundled up and headed over for some food court lunch. After a healthy portion of Mr. Wok we took a walk around to the various stores. Oskar likes strolling but has no patience for clothes shopping with Mommy so we spent time sitting on the benches in the atrium and cruising the floor while Lauren tried on shirts.
We decided to make a whole afternoon of it and took Oskar to his first movie at the AMC where we saw "The Prestige", a period piece about feuding illusionists (Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale) with bad intentions. It was a good flick with a surprising twist at the end. Oskar cried during the sad parts (and some of the funny parts), but did really well overall. The darkness helped him nap for a while and he also enjoyed being walked around the back of the theater when he was cranky.
Oskar was more or less unimpressed by the mall. I reassured him that it would be a lot more interesting for him once he became a teen, then he puked on his blue sweatsuit and we headed home. We got home just in time for a bath, some activity time with Dad (laughing at people falling down on America's Funniest Home Videos) , and then to bed.
Check out the video of Oz being burped on my knee. He picks his head up a LOT these days, especially when I am holding him for burps and play time. A couple of times he stretched out his legs and lifted himself from my knee for a moment. Strong little suckler.
