Max's First Visit to Wine Country

I know, he's 6 weeks old and just now getting to wine country! Talk about neglect...

We had a great day trip up to St. Helena. Had both Grandma's with him and slept most of the day. We went to Casa Nuestra and Storybook Mountains and he slept thru both of the tastings. Well almost slept thru them both... I had to leave the pack early at Storybook to feed the little guy.

I think he's going thru some sort of spurt - or at last I HOPE thats what it is - as he's been feeding every 1.5 - 2 hours. Thankfully he eases up during the night and gives us a good three hours between his hunger cries. Oh god how I miss 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Wonder how long until I get that again...6, 7 years? To all my child-free friends and readers - how I envy you and your sleep pattern.

We were able to get "out on the town" for a good hour last Friday night. D discovered that it is SF Beer Week and that the *new* Rosamunde Sausage Grill had his fav beer in tap just that night. The grandma's were over for dinner and they offered to watch Max(I had just fed him and had a good 3 hours until he would be hungry again) while we ventured out for a few cold ones. My bro was over as well and joined us. Not an hour later (I had just finished a beer and Erin had ordered us another round) I check my phone and I see, not ONE but THREE missed calls from my Mom. Oh Gawd - I think something terrible has happened and immediately call her - but Danny answers his phone "Hello Bootsie....He's been crying? Ok we'll be home as soon as we can" We head out and jump in a taxi and make a bee line for home. Max is calm by the time we get there...

So today I had kinda a big day out with Max. We went to Lullaby Lane to get a few things (toys and a mobile for Max's crib)
and then we went to Whole Foods for fixins for dinner. Big day out, I tell you.

So we don't have Cable TV. Its a waste of money - TV has been reduced to nothing but commercials and reality tv. So Hulu.com has been a savior for me. We've been able to keep up with current tv - Parks and Recreation, 30 Rock, Glee, Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I have been watching Modern Family on Hulu - that show comes in as a close second to Arrested Development. Hilarious family structure and ideologies.
