Weekend Rewind

Let's see here. Friday night we just grilled some hamburgers and stayed in. Brendan was down by 7:30 so we just caught up on shows that were tivoed. Then I decided I wasn't tired and we played Wii Super Mario Brothers way to late! I say way to late, but it was probably until 11:30, which before baby was no problem. Brendan woke up around 4AM so got up and gave him a bottle and he went back down. From then until he woke up at 7 I was in such a deep sleep and so didn't want to get up!

Saturday I wasn't feeling very well so Q let me sleep an extra hour and then woke me up when it was time to give Brendan his oatmeal. I still wasn't feeling well so I went back to sleep after that for another hour. After that I got up showered and we took Brendan to Gymboree. He moved up to Level 2 so this was a new thing for him. He had such a good time. It is such a big difference from Level 1 and there were a few babies crawling so I'm hoping that motivates him to want to get moving. He did so great. Afterwards I ran to Super Target to pick up a few things and get some organic carrots to puree for Brendan. That's his new veggie this week. At 5:30 Jeff and Taylor met us up at Mi Cocina for dinner. The past two times we've been to Mi Cocina Brendan has stayed away the whole time. This time he slept the whole time! And since we were with friends it was a longer dinner. It seemed so nice to have dinner with friends and not have to worry about hurrying up and getting out of there, BUT it actually was not a good thing. It was basically a 2 and a half hour nap for him, so usually we'd get home put him in the bath and give him a bottle to go down for the night. That was so not going to happen. We finally got him down at 10. He woke up around 2 and then for some reason he woke up at 6:55AM and was up. We totally messed up his sleeping schedule. It has taken us all day to get him readjusted. Note to self, we cannot do that again!

Since he got up so early we thought about going to the 8:15 A.M. church service. We changed our mind since B would need to be eating breakfast at 7:55 and then we'd want to stick around for him to get adjusted in the nursery so we decided there wasn't anytime. So then there's the 9:30 service, which we usually go to or Sunday School, but Brendan feel asleep at 9:18 and didn't wake up until 10:45 (which is crazy for him because he usually only sleeps 30-45 minutes for his morning nap). So we didn't make it to church today. Today was going to be the first day we were going to use the nursery, maybe B knew that and found was to stall it from happening!

We tried carrots for the first time today. He had about an ounce. He wasn't too sure about them. For dinner, oh my goodness, he was an absolute turkey. First we tried beef in gravy and he just gagged and spit it up. So I tried to make it thinner for him. Nope wasn't having it. So I decided to switch and brought out sweet pea and turkey with wild rice. Nope didn't want that either. It was VERY FRUSTRATING to say the least. I probably should have just stopped when he wouldn't eat the beef. I don't know if he just didn't eat the other because he was frustrated too. Guess we'll find out tomorrow when I try the sweet pea dish one last time. Wish us luck! So far the only meat dish he seems to like is sweet potatoes and chicken.
