Somewhere Over the Rainbow

It's now Sunday night and we have finally gotten Aden to sleep and almost finished unpacking from another busy Shore weekend. The packing and driving is starting to lose it's charm.

Friday morning, Aden was getting into trouble.

He so knows he is being bad.

I took him to work. Only a few more weeks of daddy day care. We went to the Clubhouse Diner so Aden could see the fish and have some grilled cheese. Aden still has 4 8 oz bottles of formula a day. We know by one year, we need to ween him off the formula and have more real food in his diet. So today, we tried 3 bottles. It was hard, because he was hungry and we weren't sure how to fill in the times in between the 3 bottles.

Just like last week, I rushed home from work and Amy from school and we loaded the car up and headed to Margate. It was raining on the way and we saw a rainbow.

On the way, we stopped for dinner so we got down pretty late, so Aden went right to sleep and we followed soon after.

I didn't take many pictures Saturday but we did a lot. The problem ended up being we did too much and Aden never had a nap. That can only lead to trouble!

The dogs aren't sure about Aden but he really likes them. I will post some videos of their interactions. We went to the Adam's Avenue beach to sit with Adam and Ellen. It was Adam's birthday! The beach was quiet. Most of the usual gang were not there. The weather turned out to be pretty nice but we really couldn't enjoy it. A sleep deprived, cranky baby made sure of that!

We couldn't find a babysitter. (does anyone know of anyone at the Shore who might sit for us?) So we had an early dinner with my parents and grandmother at JoJo's in Ventnor. It's an old favorite of ours but no more. Apparently it has knew owners. We were not thrilled with the food and the service was pretty rude. Amy ordered a calamari salad for her main course. It came with the salads not with the entrees, which was annoying. The squid was not fried, the way Amy likes it. She told the waitress she couldn't eat it the way it was and that she was sorry. The waitress just grabbed it and walked away. She never came back to see if Amy wanted anything else, so she just shared my pasta. They also refused to make any changes to the dishes, which sucked.

They had fun playing with Aden anyway. You can tell he was getting really tired here after having no naps.

Amy and I went back and watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall while we waited for Amy's parents to get home. I thought it was really funny. They got back around 11, then we walked over to Adam's to get him and Ellen, then to the Greenhouse. It was our first time of the season. It was actually pretty quiet even though it was a nice night. I think the average age might be down to 14. Where are they getting their id's?

We actually ended up staying until we were kicked out at 2! Amy can be a real trooper sometimes! The only thing was as we were finally getting to bed around 2:45, it hit us that someone would have to give Aden a bottle around 6:30.
