Family, and Howard the Duck

Chase’s aunt and uncle (Kathy and Jeff) came down from Colusa and spent some time with us this morning. It was so nice to see them, and we all went to eat brunch at our favorite brunch spot, Brenda’s. We all enjoyed our food, and I only dropped a few crumbs on Milo as I ate. Win!

Actually, I’m quite bad about dropping food on her as I eat. I’m usually holding her when I eat, either because she’s wrapped against me or she’s eating or she’s fussed and I’m comforting her. This weekend I dropped doughnut glaze on her, which I guess I didn’t get completely out of her hair as it was a little matted today. Luckily, we bathed her tonight.

Speaking of baths, Milo doesn’t usually tolerate them well. Our problem (I think) has been that we’ve tried to put her in the tub when she’s already fussed. Tonight, though, we started her bath when she was calm and happy. So, tonight was the first time she’s had a solo bath and didn’t totally freak out about it. Another win!

After brunch, Jeff and Kathy came back to our apartment with us and we all sat around and chatted for a while. Milo was only mildly fussed some of the time, so they were able to snap some photos and I got to talk to adults for a while!

Tonight, Chase and I stayed up after Milo went to bed for the evening. We watched Howard the Duck because it’s on HBOGo for some reason, and Chase had never seen it. I told him it was terrible, which was one reason he had to see it. It’s always a gamble when we stay up late (late = any time after 10pm) because we never know how long Milo will let us sleep. Hopefully tonight is a good night!
