Those are the questions. As long as she has those, she is happy. I guess that goes for all of us, except the diaper part, although that could be handy, especially a couple beers into a Mariners game at Safeco Field.
Last weekend took us on another road trip. This time to Vancouver, WA for Trina's grandmother's 90th birthday party. There was plenty of anxiety for both of us after the screamer of a trip to those parts just 2 weeks ago. Since then, she has been taking the bottle quite well, thanks to day care (either that or nothing honey). That enabled Trina to feed her while on the road, even sitting in the back seat pumping up a new batch of baby chow, an feeding here right there. This seemed to help her, rather both Molly and Trina, a lot. There was not nearly the crying. Had this been the case on the trip to the Oregon Coast we would not only have enjoyed the driving more, but saw more of it. I guess that leaves us an excuse to go back.
The birthday party went well. Lots of food (could have used some hollow-legged teenage boys there to clean up). We'd all be surprise if grandma remembers it today. Oh well.
"Since you was up, you wanna fetch me a bottle?"
Last night was a reminder that keeping a baby happy is like fishing: just because it worked yesterday don't mean it will work today. She has been sleeping like a champ - goes to sleep easily and doesn't wake except for the 4 a.m.-ish feeding, then back to sleep. However, she didn't fall asleep until midnight, for which Trina was up with her, then woke at 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. Not sure what the deal is. If her feeding patterns are an indication of anything, I'd think she's either in a growth spurt or trying to catch up with her buddy Rowen and get up near the 100th percentile for weight.
Next weekend takes me to Lansing, Michigan for Ty's wedding. Thursday Ty, his dad, and I are going small mouth fishing for the day with a guide. It was that or spend the day watching coeds. We chose fishing, naturally. I think Friday is rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, and a full mass Catholic wedding on Saturday. I hope I am not the guy that passes out from standing in one spot too long.
