Celebrations

Hey there Boy Boy!

Doing some serious thinking at four in the morning...

This week is supposed to be an eventful one, with Daddy and Mommy's anniversary on Wednesday, Daddy's birthday on Friday, and Father's Day and your Ma-ma's birthday on Sunday. But with you being around, the celebrations had to be tweaked around you...

So Daddy and Mommy sneaked off for a little time-off from you on Wednesday by outsourcing you to your Po-po, who kindly looked after you while we were gone. We couldn't be away for too long either, since you are still feeding every two hours or so, with Mommy being your food source.

Daddy and Mommy went to a nice little cafe in school which sells the nicest desserts in town. We had a rich chocolate fondant cake and a Nutella-banana-crepe with vanilla gelato. As if that wasn't enough, we went next door to another cafe and ordered a tiramisu... all these to satisfy Mommy's sweet tooth!

When we came back, you were still sound asleep, and not causing too much trouble for Po-po. So Daddy and Mommy went for a walk around the neighborhood. (There were fireflies!) But no matter how far we walked, our minds are never too far away from you. I suppose this is one of the side effects of being first-time parents...

Looks like someone is getting ready to run off somewhere...

For Daddy's birthday, we wanted to go for dinner at Outback Steakhouse as a family. Bringing you out was pretty challenging! First we wanted to wait till you have had a feeding before leaving the house, so that we won't have to do that while we were outside. But you slept more than usual, and Mommy didn't have the heart to wake you up since you were sleeping so peacefully.

So we waited. Then, just as we were about to leave, it started raining heavily. We thought we will just brave the rain and go out anyway, but then the tornado warning siren started ringing... So we ended up waiting some more (in hunger) for the storm to pass before we could set off. By the time we reached Outback, we were starving. And of course, you didn't wait for all of us to finish our dinner before protesting that you were hungry (again!). Mommy had to bring you to the car to feed you, leaving my pasta behind...

Despite all the extra trouble we had to go through to bring you out, Mommy, Daddy and Po-po really enjoy going out with you. We have been to the shopping center multiple times now, and there is a certain sense of happiness as we push your stroller down the mall. We can't wait for you to grow up quickly so that we can bring you to that huge playground in the mall to play!

Daddy's first Father's Day was spent rather uneventfully. We were all exhausted and decided to take the day to sleep in. Next year, you will have to make it up to Daddy, okay?
