I do the same thing. He woke up one time at BRU though - and yelled the whole time. I got the helll out as fast as I could...
Wheee!

I used to have near panic attacks in stores when she was younger. She always slept right through it I just saw germ clouds around everyone walking towards us. Now I'm not so worried about germs it is her! She hates her car seat and screams through most of our trips unless we hold her.
Congrats on a successful trip and I hope you have many more!
I've taken DS out several times now... lunches, dinner and several trips to Target & the post office. He's never even woken up from the time we left home until the time we got back. It's like magic (so far...).
I remember DS always had to be in motion when we were out running errands. If I stopped for more than a couple of seconds, he would wake up and fuss. Now he loves looking around at everything. Glad you survived :-)
Re: took first official trip to a store with baby today.

I would put her in the basket part of the cart and if I had to stop, I'd move the cart back and forth so she'd still be rocking. LOL.

isn't it funny? I had been shut in for so long by the time we took our first trip to target, it was the most exciting thing ever!
