Date night

Jason and I usually go on a date every three weeks or so, although we hadn't been on one since Cooper was born (7 wks ago).  Tonight we decided to venture out for our first little 'family date'.  I was all decked out in my best trackies and hoody (glamourous, eh??) as we headed out for a pub meal.

Although dinnertime is often a grumpy time of day for the little boy, he survived the dinner quite well.  As we waited for our meals to arrive, a dummy and a cuddle sent him off to the land of nod.

He slept in the pram for most of the meal, only awaking and starting to grizzle for food just as we were finishing ours.  By the time we got home, however, it was a full-blown HOWL.

Then we had issues.  Poor little fella... was so tired from his howling, but couldn't sleep because he was too worked up and his little tummy was empty.  Couldn't eat, though, because he was so tired and worked up!  Managed to get a few sucks in, just enough that he was finally able to be soothed enough to latch on properly.  He is now happy as can be, playing on Daddy's knee :-)

Maybe our next date will be Saturday lunch during his sleepy time!
