Woke Curtis up for his final night feed just before 7am and decided we’d venture out for a walk to Jamies house today. We needed to be back for midday so this would be an interesting experiment. By 10am we were ready to leave and found a lovely crispy morning awaiting us as we wandered through Maxwell park down and along to Dumbreck (Jamie lives in the posh part of town!). Again we went passed some fantastic building including the church and sherbrooke hotel and my favourite house ‘somersby’. We arrived at Jamies in 25 minutes and it felt great to be the one doing the visiting rather than being stuck 
indoors. As Jamie and I had a cup of tea Curtis decided it was his tea break too thus begun first feed out of the house. Perched on the dining room table on one of Uncle Dan’s (very expensive) feather pillows Curtis was just the right height and all went well…I’m sure Dan won’t even notice the few drops of breasticle milk that was spilt! Jamie’s cleaner arrived and oohed and ahhed at Curtis which he was very delighted about and offered us all some of his current semi smiles along with big bright smiley eyes and a hint of a giggle. He was a real delight to be with today and this mood continued as we ventured back home and then to Lisa’s where we met the scottish gas engineer who arrived to fix the boiler. A quick feed and nappy change in Lisa’s room and then a trip round to Mica’s was next…which the wee guy 
loved…he marvelled much like I do at the huge shelves stacked full of every domestic, decorating and kitchen product you could desire. I struggled to get back to the flat carrying both a 5ft long window blind and Curtis in my arms but he seemed to see the funny side and appeared to chuckle the whole way which made it worth the struggle. Lisa then arrived home and we went off to Morrisons where we made use of Curtis’s big pram to carry the shopping home. Lisa made us tea and Ryan came to visit so it was a fun packed day all round. Being out of the house all day was great for feeling part of normal society again and really brought home the convenience of breastfeeding. Snaps if the day include Curtis trying on Lisa’s sunnies and some of the houses we saw…well that I saw….Curtis of course gets to see little more than treetops as shown by the Curtis eye view photo taken in the
park.
In the evening Gareth and Curtis watched their first Liverpool match together with the wee man wearing an appropriately coloured top…just like his daddy! Liverpool won 2-0 against Inter Milan in the European Champions League, so all in it was a
pretty perfect day.
