weekend round-up
SUNDAY
didn't do too much on this day. slept in until 9am; p took great care of the little one and when i had awoken from being on the floor, the two of them were on the couch getting some nummie nums. after a morning of laundry and cleaning up, the three of us decided to take a walk. i conned p into going- she was a bit tired from the early morning feedings. we took our usual route- down 19th ave to 16th st. mall. we stopped into tj maxx and i bought 2 shirts for work and 2 books for reading time with the little one. after a stop at ross, we headed down to buffalo toms for malts and fries. not the healthiest of meals, but p was craving a malt after not feeling so hot for the first 20 minutes of our walk. we bumped into 2 of p's friends and the second led us on to the ability of purchasing cigar boxes for 2USD a piece. so p and i stopped by the cigar shop and walked out with six boxes, one of which is on my desk at work. quite the handy pencil holder. four hours later, we were home. aiden didn't make a peep the whole time. quite amazing.
SATURDAY
i finally got p out of the house on a weekend without the baby and without having to go to work. after a morning feeding, p headed out to a yoga class while ap and i had some father son time. i was pretty excited. was going to take him for a walk to the library for some more movies. we got all ready to go and headed out at about 11am. two blocks later, aiden started fussing and crying. i knew it wasn't one of those 'i want to sleep but i'm going to fuss a bit before i crash out for two hours.' it was a, 'hey! i'm hungry still!' so, we turned around and he sucked down four more ounces of formula. gave me quite the belch and fell asleep on my chest.
that evening we took the little one to one of p's coworker's wedding. it was a quaint chapel on the campus of DU. it was a very quick and nice ceremony and aiden didn't make a peep. it was absolutely amazing. the reception followed after some very very poor directions provided on a ripped sheet of notebook paper left at the chapel. we were off s. university blvd and the directions told us to go north on colorado blvd, then left on cherry and then left on s. jackson. ok. university is about a mile west of colorado... and why wouldn't directions be given from where we were, not a mile east from where we were... anyway. and then someone said it was by an office located on south colorado blvd... wow. totally screwed us up. of course, we forgot to bring the address. so. after driving around for about 30 minutes, we finally found the reception... the cherry address was totally wrong. there are 3 - s. cherry street, cherry creek dr north and cherry creek dr south... could have used some clarificaiton... especialy when s cherry st. runs parallel to colorado blvd.
anway. the reception was nice... and i think aiden stole the show. everyone was wanting to hold him and see him, even the bride - she is expecting a child shortly as well.
FRIDAY
nothing like half day fridays. i was suppose to work the afternoon to make up for good friday this coming week, but having a photo appointment, i made up the hours the previous two days. so i left work at noon, drove home and got aiden ready for his first photo shoot. p found a photographer on e 17th ave and park ave who specialized in taking baby/ child photographs (b&w). we spend three hours with the photographer, looking at his photos, got six rolls of film taken, and got peed and pood on. the photographer said he'd be able to get us a contact sheet today (tuesday) so hopefully p has time this afternoon to meet with him.
