What a night…

We went to Yorktown Beach to secretly shoot a couple getting engaged with Laura and Wes (Abby and Isaac’s parents).  All the kids went with us.  Afterward we went out for dinner with all 5 kids.

Connor needed to use the potty but is not quite comfortable peeing standing up and I don’t like him sitting on those NASTY toilets.  So, after 2 times trying he finally had an accident in the restaurant.  (Thankfully we had brought extra clothes for him and Mommy got him changed.)  Jacob wanted to be fed and Laura helped out with that.  I held Jacob and ate my dinner.  When Wes was done, he then held Jacob for me so I could finish eating.

By the time we left, Connor was starting to get tired and Jacob was not a happy camper.  Connor was crying in the backseat and Jacob was wailing too (he usually does this around 8pm each night).

As we were leaving, Wes and I exchanged eye contact and smiled at one another — I guess being a veteran father of two, he new how that ride home was going to be.  After about 10 mins, Jacob calmed down and Connor was busy watching a DVD in the back.

Jacob was up for about 2 hours last night screaming and crying starting around 11:30pm.  We are starting to think he might have colic…more on this later when I have time to write more.

Welcome to parenthood!
