The Week of March 8th

On Tuesday, March 9th, we went to Azteca with Todd's brother Chuck and his wife Missy. Adam was in a rotten mood to begin with, so when I walked in and saw that the table they had saved was right in the doorway, I immediately suspected we might become the center of attention between Adam's impending stormy mood and Abbey being a day shy of two weeks old. Add to that that Adam has been scared of his uncle as of late (I'm suspecting it's his glasses and moustache)...but after a few fits, mostly about holding his cup himself as he sucked on the straw with his new-found skills, he settled in. He was starving and ate a lot. By the end of dinner, Miss Abbey had had enough and allowed Daddy and Aunt Missy to comfort her before she made it clear she wanted food!


On Wednesday, March 10th, Jackie and Quinten came by. Jackie loves the babies and Q...loved getting his little partner in crime Adam going....I made the mistake of telling him not to open a door and close it in front of Adam because "he'll have a fit." The rest of the visit involved Q saying "Why will he have a fit?" and "I want Adam to have a fit" until Jackie threatened to put him into time -out.

And when I took him upstairs to see Orrie because he asked, he wanted him to talk....so on the way out Orrie obliged by saying SHUT UP. Q's eyes got big and said WHAT did he say?? Clearly impressed that our bird was saying "naughty" things....thanks to both me and Todd telling the bird off when it gets to loud!!

Later that night, Todd's friend Judy stopped by to visit Miss Abigail. I like Judy, she's nice and she's Italian :). I had been trying a new recipe...Beef Stroganoff...but by the end of the night, it was a disgusting mess glopped to the pan with everything going on. So I'll be trying it again soon...

On Thursday, March 11th, Melissa came by....she's the auntie that looooves kids but swears up and down she's NEVER pushing one out of herself (can't say as I totally blame her!). Abbey slept in her arms...and Adam got another "sucker" to take him for a walk :) Always nice to see Melissa and catch-up...she was a BIG part of my life at SUNY Oswego (the 2nd time around!!) and she's the kind of friend it doesn't matter how long it's been, we can always talk like no time had passed at all :)
