Last weekend Todd played in the San Francisco Golf Championship. He entered the championship division this year which is where is apparently where the good golfers play. He told me, but I can't remember the famous people that have won this competition.
This was the first weekend and a qualifying round. So, Harrison and I went to the course on Saturday for a little moral support and so that Harrison could officially begin his training as a golfer. He was perfect. He did not make a peep during anyone's backswing and he was so cute that the USGA marshal offered to drive us around (at least for a few holes). The first day Todd shot near his goal and was right on target during the second round on Sunday...but the last two holes did not go well and he unfortunately did not make the cut. Considering he has not been playing since Harrison arrived, I think he did really well! He says he is ready for next year!!
Valentine's
This was the first Valentine's Day in a few years that Todd has been in town. Typically he goes on a golf trip with his college golf buddies. But as you might guess he decided to stay home this year because of Harrison's arrival.
Todd planned a romantic afternoon of driving down the 1 (highway 1 is along the coast) to Half Moon Bay. It was beautiful - a clear, warm day - looking at the ocean from the rugged coastline. Then we had dinner at a seafood place on the water and watched the sunset. Harrison again was a perfect angel and slept through the entire dinner. We then went to the Ritz to check it out and have a drink...but it was packed because of Valentine's Day. So we had a latte and went on our way.
It was a really nice day until....
Vomiting
About 2am, Harrison's middle of the night feeding, I awoke feeling really sick! We think that I got food poisoning. I had fish for dinner and Todd did not....so, I was down for the count on Monday. Literally, I did not get out of bed the whole day. Todd brought Harrison to me to eat and then I would fall back to sleep. It was crazy....I am still not back to normal - I can't really eat regular food yet, but I am feeling sooooo much better! Thank God...food poisoning stinks!
Todd was really cute on Tuesday. He said 'wow, now I really appreciate what you do at home all day'. It was really sweet! And, nice to know that he appreciates what it's like to be home all day.
Harrison is now 5 weeks old and continuing to change. He is so cute. He started smiling about a week ago and it is becoming more frequent. He continues stretching like a mad man...I am
still working on a video. He is able to focus on faces,some toys, and lights for a longer period of time and really seems to be interested in them.
Now that Harrison is a little bigger we are beginning to make the transition into cloth diapers. I am still trying to figure it out as we went through three outfits yesterday because the diapers leaked. I added the extra pad and we will see if that helps. I have to check in with my cloth diaper expert Alexis and get her opinion.
My sister arrives tomorrow morning and Harrison is very excited to meet his aunt! Should be a lot of fun having her here. Just as Stacey is leaving Brian (Todd's brother) and Erica will be arriving. We are looking forward to all of the visitors.
Love the picture of Harrison holding the golf club. Todd's really starting him early.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the food poisoning, but maybe it wasn't such a bad thing getting to lay in bed all day and catch up on some sleep. Glad that Todd was so helpful.
As for the diapers, you have to wash them five times or so before you use them so that they reach their full absorbency. What kind did you get? It could also be that he's still a little too small and his legs aren't filling out the leg holes. Stick with it, you won't regret it once you figure it out.
