BBQ at Kapi'olani Park




Saturday, 11 August 2007

Chase is having a lot of firsts, and today, was his first trip to Kapi'olani Park (after sleeping in because he was fussy and awake from 3 - 8:30 am)to celebrate my friend Linh's son Jordan's 16th birthday. They had lots of food for the barbeque, and although it drizzled at times, we missed the downpour in the evening and others set up a tent to cover us. Aunty Stevie's little bouncer/sunshade things worked perfectly for an outing to the park as Chase could sleep and not get bug bitten. Everyone adored baby Chase, taking turns holding him. I nursed him probably about 3 or 4 times (nearly an hour each time) while we were there from 1 - 7 pm. It was a fun day, nice to get some fresh air and be out of the house. Chase slept well and ate well too. It would have been nice to have a sling today to carry Chase in (yes, I will buy one soon!).

We made popcorn and watched a movie at home this evening, but Chase and I both fell asleep on the couch of course!

Tomorrow night, Chris' mom has offered to watch Chase so that Chris and I can have a date night and go see "The Simpsons" movie that Chris has been dying to see. We weighed Chase using our own method, and by our calculations, he weighs about 8 1/3 pounds.
