Yesterday we went to Andrews mom Barbaras birthday party!!! It was at Casa de Forste, in beautiful Teaneck New Yersey. It was the first time we had Phinneus out of the house since the last time we took him to the doctor, about 2 weeks ago. It was like Baby-Palooza over there!! We figured there was at least 10 babies there!! I think there may have been more formula & diapers at the party than iced tea & napkins!! Everybody loved Phinneus & commented on how handsome he is!! Phinneus was really good too! He slept almost the whole time, ate some formula & slept again! I thought it was funny that we showed up using one of Barbaras grandkids stroller, and we dressed Phinneus in another of her grandkids old outfits!! Funny right!! Thanks you guys!! So lets talk turkey.... or on this case chicken... They had some of the best fried chicken I've had in a long... long time!! I know yous guys woulda liked it!! It was seasoned perfectly. & you could tell it was the rizzle dizzle southern styzzle.... They got it from some soulfood joint in the city.... Mac 'n cheese, beeiscut (biscuits) & cohwnbreeud (cornbread) along with assorted salads & slaws rounded out the table! Now I loves me some fried chicken! & I haven't had any fried chicken in like 4 years... Since we went to A.C. w/ Trish & Randy in '04!! (no evil-eye babe!).... I enjoyed "the" fried chicken!! Dessert got intense yo! They had cupcakes from Crumbs bakery!! The best cupcakes ever, as we have talked about in previous blogs.... probably 2 sticks of butter in each softball sized serving of heaven!! I hope my arteries can handle the amount of saturated fat I pumped into myself yesterday!! Thank God for stents & statins! There was also cake & ice cream, but I called it a day after the cupcakes! Everybody commented on how great Maggie looked too!! They was like, "wait, you had had a baby 3 weeks ago!!". You go Babe!!
After the party we trecked back to the hills & my parents came over to see the 'lil man. We hung out for a while & heard stories from their weekend travels (Long Island & Aunt Marie & Uncle Gino's house)... Amy came over after she finished up at the party & spent the night. She offered to do the late night feeding & the one at 3:00 AM!!!! Thanks Amy!!!! It was the 1st time in a month we both got more than 3 consecutive hours of the sleep! I woke up late for rehab cuz I was sleeping so hard!!! I think I dreamed about fried chicken!! Jeez, I'm going OCD on the fried chicken!! I'm considering becoming a fried chicken-etarian... Check out the latest round of pics of Phinneus!! Cute right!! We've started usung a new technique in trying to control his crankies... We wrap him up tight w/ his hands bundled up (baby swaddle straight jacket), gentle rocking, making the shhh noise & the passy.... It is a full body work out that brings you to the verge of hyper-ventillation, but it works!! It may take straight 2 hours of doing this, but it calms him down!! I think if they said jumping out the window would help him, we woulda tried it!! Not a bad thing if you have a ranch, but jumping out our 2nd floor window would hurt!! What parents will do.....!!!!!.... Time to make the dough nuts!!!
PEACE!
