Indeed, it has been several weeks since our last posting announcing PadThai's boyishness. The month of October has been more chaotic than we had imagined--most of the mayhem involved seeing lots of family and friends, which is never cause for complaint, and we certainly aren't complaining :)
In a two-week span, PadThai got to meet about 90% of our most favorite people from all over the US. In Virginia, we visited with future grandparents-to-be Sandy and Charlie from NC, future Uncle Mark and his girlfriend Allison from San Diego, future Uncle Brian, Aunt Jen, and cousins Sarah and Tommy from NC, future great-grand-parents G&G Prosser from Illinois, cousins/aunts/uncles Kathryn and Dale; Cherie, Doug and Mark; and Rachel. And of course, we enjoyed all the extra time we got to spend with our local family, too--the Romero clan, Susan and Ron, and Keith and Patty.
Then we trekked up the coast to NJ for two special occasions. The first was the wedding of Lori's cousin Amy and her fiance Jim--where we stuffed our bellies for hours on end and partied with dozens of the extended Whyte/Schiffner clan. The second was the first birthday of lil' Josey Vitale, Lori's childhood best friend Jen's daughter. Oodles of fabulous friends (too many to name!) were in attendance to see Josey smoosh cupcake around her face, customary behavior for the guest-of-honor at all first birthday parties these days. We even managed to steal a few hours and lunch with PadThai's Great Grandma Mary B. in Brick, NJ; brunch with PadThai's Great Aunt Marianne; and a short visit with Ben's old roomate "Fatty" and his family of Olga, Jake, and Luke.
PadThai enjoyed all the excitement, taking the opportunities to show off the round belly he currently calls "home". . .and to even display his rudimentary martial arts skills for a lucky few. Now that all the fun of friends and family is over for the time being, PadThai is happy to see that his parents are now back to obsessing about his fast-approaching arrival. Upcoming blog topics: The Daycare Search, Baby Registry Headaches, Alternate Names for PadThai, and The Nursury Lair: Before & After.
