Not Exactly a Stay-At-Home Baby

Baby makes, on average, two or three round-trips in an automobile per day. She goes to the beach, the seawall, the park, the supermarket, her grandparents, community meetings, and some other places besides. Most of these trips are fewer than ten miles each way, many of them are fewer than five. Not to betray my age or anything, but I’m going to guess that I was in a car about twice a week during my first year of life, if that. And I don’t think I was an unusual case, or that my daughter is. One or two people in my wife’s family have actually suggested that baby should get out more. Getting out more than baby does now would be getting out a lot.
