weekend

This was a busy weekend...compared to the past 2 weeks.

Friday Rory took B on a hike with Zach, Marshall and Maleah.

Then we all went to the Blackfoot Brewery...again. Bennett was there twice in one week! He was very good, though. Then we had some friends over for dinner.

Saturday we took Bennett on his first road trip. It wasn't a very exciting destination (Butte) and only an hour away but it was our test run I guess. We were supposed to leave at noon, but after a serious poop explosion in the carseat (seconds after getting him strapped in) and an early feeding interruption we ended up leaving around 1:30. We had to stop on the way to change another diaper. Then when we got there we immediately had to stop at a park and nurse him again (and he spit up all over my shirt for the first time). Finally we made it to the Front Street Market. While inside he had a bit of a breakdown and we had to get out asap. After one last stop we headed home. He slept most of the way but I think he just doesn't like being toted around in that carseat. Next time we'll try something different.

Saturday night we hung out at the Veltri residence. The whole family was in town and Bennett got to meet Steve and Thelxi for the first time. Here he is with uncle Brett:

Just the two of Us

First two days home alone with Bennett.

*we sat outside enjoying the sun

*he took naps in bouncy chair

*he took naps in rainforest swing

* he took naps in my arms

*I gave him his first bath on my own (lots of crying involved)

*First diaper blow-out..got poop all over one of his gowns. Nice one Bennett...

And at the end of the day we took B-Dogg on his first trip to the Blackfoot Brewery. He was pretty good - sat in his carseat for awhile then I held him until it was time to leave.
