Last minute plans ARE possible with a baby

Went over to Ariel and Robert's for dinner last night. It was totally last minute, so we didn't have Aiden's diaper bag with us. Instead, we went to the store and got diapers, a toddler meal and a sippy cup. Aiden ate the entire cup of "soup" and then started griping 30 minutes later. Since he'd had Motrin and several cubes of ice for that tooth that's trying to break through, I figured he might be hungry again. Sure enough, he had a piece of pizza and some crackers before he seemed like he was finished.

At 7:30 dinner was ready, so Travis and I came up with an ingenious way to put Aiden to sleep. Since he refuses to go to sleep in someone's arms, we had to come up with a way to lay him down and keep him there. We strapped him into the umbrella stroller I keep in the trunk at all times and laid it back on a pile of pillows. Worked like a charm! He fussed for about 15 seconds before he succumbed to the situation.

Dinner was great. Robert grilled steaks and pork loins, along with a vegetable medley, scalloped potatoes and a salad. We sat at their dining room table, which I'm pretty sure was it's first use in this house. After dinner, we played on their new, black Wii. Did you know they make black Wii's?!?! Weird. The funniest part is they Frisbee Golf on the Wii Sports Resort CD. Ha!

Dessert was a fruit and granola parfait. Delicious!!

Well, I'm tired. Didn't get to bed until midnight. Now where's my coffee...
