Busy Weekend

We had a busy weekend and of course we toted around the big man every where we went. On Saturday night we had dinner plans with friends in Old Town Scottsdale. We were the only ones with a baby, but we brought the big man anyway. I did have a chit chat with him before we left the house. I asked him to show our friends what a good boy he is by behaving himself. He listened and I am proud of his good behavior. We got to the restaurant by 6pm and the big man chilled in his car seat for a bit as he just stared at everything around him and soaked it all in. Once that got old he wanted out of his car seat so he could really get a good look at everyone and everything. Andy and I switched off holding him because he is such a little heater. At one point he kept leaning towards Andy's beer trying to grab it. This was super cute and entertained everyone at the table so it warranted a picture. 

Around 7:15 the big man got a little fussy and started turning towards me. This was to be expected since he goes to bed about 7:30 every night and starts to put himself to bed sometime before 7:30. So I just held him and rocked him and he fell asleep in my arms. I was able to transfer him to his car seat so he could snuggle up with his blankie and fall asleep for the night. 

He stayed this way until we got home and changed his diaper around 9:30. Since we did have the big man with us we headed home after dinner instead of out on the town with our group of friends. Mr. Max was so well behaved all night that I was a proud mamma. He typically is well behaved as long as his nosie self can see everything that's going on. 

On Sunday we spent the afternoon with our friends at the AZ Food Truck Festival. Boy have festivals changed for us. We go on Sundays as they are more family friendly. We don't go into the bar area since we are toting around kids. We leave early because the kids are tired. One thing has not changed though, how much fun we have together as friends.

Perfect picture of how times have changed. Kim and I toting around our babies while we carry around our glasses of wine. Keeping it classy!

Here, the big man kept wanting to help me hold my wine. What a good little helper.

The big man just chilled all day at the festival taking in the sights. He was either in the stroller or in the Bjorn, but either way he was a happy baby all day. 

It was a busy weekend for the big man to soak up new scenary and he was such a good little boy the whole time. He was just very chill and go with the flow. This mommy can only hope he stays this way.
