Stian's First Party

Stian had a big day yesterday. We dragged him all over town running errands earlier in the day, and he did remarkably well. Then last night he went to his very first party! It was our friend Lisa's 40th birthday party.

Here he is getting ready - all decked out in his nerdy sweater vest (that everyone thought was super cute!)



And here he is hanging out with Daddy at the restaurant.



Here are some of the folks at the party:

Lisa, the birthday girl and her husband Jeremy. Notice Jeremy's giant knife - that's the knife the kitchen gave him to slice the cake. Yikes!

And then finally Stian had had enough and wanted to go home. But he did really well, he lasted about an hour and 45 minutes before he started to fuss. He seemed to like the restaurant, it was noisy, which he likes, and there was lots to look at.



He was awake for about an hour after we got home. But he wasn't terribly fussy. He sat with us while we watched an episode of Arrested Development from Netflix. Then he conked out and slept from 10:30 to 6:30 straight! That's the first time he's ever slept that long without waking. I nursed him at 6:30 and he went right back to sleep until 10:00. I guess we need to run him ragged everyday!
