Day 61 (5/10): Expanding My Horizons

on May 12, 2008

This thing is only a miracle for Mom & Dad!

I woke up for my bottle around 4:30.  Everything was pretty uneventful except that Dad was a bit careless about making sure I was close enough to sleep before putting me in my bassinet.  Sure enough, he fell asleep almost instantaneously, but I started fussing and Mom got up to play with me for about an hour and a half, until I got hungry again.  Dad finally got up around 8:30 and Mom went back to sleep.  I hung out with Dad for just a little bit before falling back asleep. 

Mom had a yoga class at 12:30 and she left as soon as we got done with our 12:00 feeding.  Dad burped me, packed up my stroller, and headed out to Starbucks.  I’ve noticed that Dad almost never stays in the apartment with me whem Mom’s not around.  I mostly napped while Dad worked, but every time I opened my eyes, I saw another Starbucks customer staring at me and commenting on how cute I am.

We met Mom outside of her yoga studio and we went to Le Pain Quotidien and got some lunch.  We had to take it to because two of Mom’s and Dad’s friends were coming over to visit.  I ate lunch with Mom and as soon as we got done, Uncle Francis and Aunt Amy came by.  They brought me a really cool CD and a cookbook especially for little kids!  Uncle Frank and Aunt Amy were so good at holding me — but we totally forgot to take any pictures!  Now that my neck’s getting stonger, though, I think it’s getting a lot easier!

I ate at 5:00 and then at 7:00 before Mom, Dad, and I went to Whole Foods.  It wasn’t nearly as crazy that late in the evening.  Mom and Dad planned on getting their groceries delivered (for only $4.99) and so bought lots of big, heavy things.  But when they went to check out, it turned out that Whole Foods stopped delivering at 8!  So Dad turned my stroller into a shopping cart and I was carried back in my car seat. 

I ate at 9:30 or so and Mom and Dad planned that we’d all go to sleep after that.  But I was still hungry and I couldn’t really fall sleep, so Dad ended up getting up again at 11:30 and feeding me a mini-bottle.

I’m so tired!
