Kind of an ehhh weekend.
Saturday I stayed with Inky at a pet store to try to find her a home. It didn't go well. They didn't place any of their younger cats, and kids poked their faces into Inky's cage upsetting her to the point she started to get p*ssed off and even growled at a baby kitten in the next cage who was just trying to play with her tail. So she came home and back to the bathroom. DH watched Alan. He managed to just give him a bottle (no lunch) but was taking a nice long nap with him when I came home. Alan did get to play with his fisher price walker - if you stand him next to it, he will take steps with it. Unfortunately, its too light for him to pull up with - I guess if it were able to support his weight, it might be too heavy if it fell with him :(
Saturday night we took Alan to cheer up a depressed friend. We stopped at Whole Foods on the way. They had samples (yum) and for the first time I could share them with Alan - tuna salad/crackers (I gave him a tiny bit, it was good tuna salad) and salsa and chips (I gave him a tiny bit of chip, no salsa). On the way out of the store, we managed to drop the jar of pasta sauce we bought - yuck. But our friend was very happy to see Alan and we felt better for paying a visit.
Sunday we went to my Star Trek club meeting (USS Avenger/Starfleet) at a bookstore after visiting the buffet. Alan was pretty good the whole time (especially since he'd had a lot of sugar with the cake). We let him pick the winning ticket at our 50/50 raffle, I think he liked it. For dinner we had Armor beef/noodles (prepared food). He loved that too - he was slurping the noodles. He was exhausted at the end of the day, so he slept straight throught the night. I wish I'd taken a photo of him this AM - he was sideways in the crib on his tummy, legs sticking out and his head on a crumpled quilt like a pillow!
