Leanne's parents left on Tuesday the 30th, it was sad to see them go, but we also knew it was time for us to establish our new routine with just the three of us. I decided to take Monday and Tuesday off to spend some more time with Leanne's family, but Wednesday it was finally time to go back to work for real, no more time off to hang out with the kid. Leanne was a rockstar spending her first day alone with the baby without any help. It was a little tough to go from having three helpers to none, but she handled it like a pro. On Friday, November 2nd, we had another doctors appointment to recheck Riley's weight. This time he weighed 7 lbs 14.5 oz, a 9.5 oz gain in 7 days!! Everything was now on track in regards to his feeding. We can expect for him to gain about 1 oz per day for a while. He has to start packing on the baby fat!
Friday night we had our first big group dinner since having Riley, it was a lot of fun to be social with all of our friends again. There were 8 of us, well 10 including the little ones. Chris, Tara & Koben, Betsy & Lee, Ari & Jared, and Leanne, Riley and me. We better take advantage of being social while Riley still sleeps all the time, as we have seen with many of our friends, the social time seems to dwindle as the kid gets older and more active.
Saturday it was time for Riley's biggest adventure yet, we got in the car and drove up to Estes Park to visit my Mom and Stepdad. Riley handled the hour long car ride great, he didn't even seem to be bothered by the elevation changes. My Grandparents came up as well. It was really neat to have 4 generations all in one room. We went and had a quick lunch before heading back down the mountain. All in all a good trip.
