First and foremost, I must give apologies for my lack of blogging lately. With the departure of Gigi & Papa Ken, work & parenting duties I've lost "free" time... But enough of my Mia Copa, lets Blog!
So Saturday Morning, with a heavy heart we bid farewell to Gigi & Papa Ken until Xmas. Thank you so much for helping us out! We would've never been able to handle the first few days (nights really!) without them! We had fun!! & great family meals!! We miss the full table!! My only concearn was that Gigi kept saying "oh John, in a few days I'll be gone...", like she thought I wanted her to leave??!!??!! Not so, we miss yous guys! Thanks again!
We had a great Fourth of Yuly, Amy & Andrew came over & Papa Ken made some steamed blue claws w/ Old Bay!!! MMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMM!!!! Amy made some badaba salad & a killer red cabage salad, sweet corn,chicken sausage (real good actually, very flavorful) & Gigi's baked beans (delish) rounded out the table! It was kinda weird not cooking in my own kitchen!!
My Sister Sue or "S" as we refer to her came down to meet her new nephew over the Yuly 4th weekend! I think she was amazed at how cute Mr. Phinneus is!! Her & my parents only got to stay over for a little while.
We brought Phinneus out for an hour over to Jeremy's parents house for a BBQ. We saw Jeremy & Silvie, their son Oliver (who grew into a man in like 3 months), Jason (Jeremy's brother who I haven't seen in a decade), his family, Casey (jeremy's lil bro who graduated from college), of course Jack & Diane (the Crowleys) & a whole cast of beer ponging characters. The Beer Pong champion (pronounced Champeen) was Caseys gilfriends 90 year old grandfather!! No yoke, for real! It was great seeing Jeremy & Jason together again. We rose some heck in days gone by..... Everybody at the party had "that look" on by the time we showed up! They were being true Thebian Warriors against the foul Corinthian Beer Beast!
Then "the gas" came into the picture.... Poor little Phinneus can't take his formula any more... It gives him "the gas" uncontrollably!!! From both ends....... You can hear his little stomach bubbling.... He isn't gulping air, it's like as the formula is in his belly getting digested it creates "the gas"!!! He blows up like a football & his tummy percolates like an old coffee pot! I don't think he's slept mpre than a few hours in 2 days... It's terrible! Last night the only way he slept was on his side/tummy while I held him on my chest... It was the only possition that didn't make him cry uncontrollably! So everytime I heard him start to make a noise I rubbed his back & tried to break up "the gas".... He caught about 3 hours of sleep that way, probably could've gone more, but I had to get the trash on the curb cuz I heard the garbage truck coming down the block!
So while I was writing this, I talked to Phinn's Dr.'s Office & they are changing his formula! Hopefully this will curb "the gas"!!
Come to NJ meet Phinneus, you may wind up on the blog!!!!!!!!!!!!
Peace!
