What else stupid could I possibly do after
washing my cell phone? Well, don't you worry, I did find something else... locking myself out with Nathan in my arms!
Very simple to do when your keys are not where they are supposed to be (i.e. in the car instead of in my bag). I drove home, opened the garage door, parked the car, picked up Nathan and the diaper bag, closed the car, then the garage door by hitting the inside button. I get up the stairs, look for the house keys in the diaper bag, in my pockets... no where to be found. Crap!
I run over to the Garage Master people around the block, hoping they'd be able to open the garage door. Well, no. "Thankfully" the new systems are more secure so they can't just "grab" a frequency and open the door.
It's 4:00 pm, Sam's at work for yet another good couple of hours. No job, and al. can't have him just rescue me. Nathan was a good sport at first and thought hanging out outside was pretty fun. Last resort, called a locksmith who got me in with Nathan sleeping in my arms.
That leads me to likely cause -- I wish -- of this "forgetfulness": Nathan's sleep training. After a few though weeks of bad sleep and a few night of waking up every 2 hours, we felt it was time to sleep train Nathan. We are at Day 3 and it is going better. It is probably the hardest thing I had to do since he was born, but we feel committed to the process no matter how long it takes.
A few weeks ago, on July 15 to be exact, Tami DeSellier (http://www.tamiland.com/) had set-up free photo sessions at Day One for the full day. All we needed to do was sign-up in advance and show up for Nathan's 15-minute shoot.

Sam had his first Paparazzo gig on Sunday afternoon. Monica and Bill had agreed to a session with Sophia to build Sam's portfolio.
After about a month of refusing bottles -- Nathan prefers to get his milk from the source... Milka, that is! -- he finally drank his first full bottle of pumped milk tonight. During that grueling month, we had at least narrowed down to what bottle he preferred: Playtex dropins, a.k.a. the most annoying bottle system there is. But he's the boss!
Ok, now you are going to think I am making this up but no, really I saw another new tooth today. I also found a dental chart to visualize things better, as taking a picture of his mouth is just not feasible.
For those who have any idea what I do... My job responsibilities will be similar to the ones I had at my last company, Symphoniq, however I'm now also responsible for growing and managing our customer support teams as well.
The Apple iPhone came out on June 29 while we were in Asheville, so as soon as we came home Sam started monitoring the iPhone inventory at Apple stores around the Bay (www.apple.com/retail/iphone). Finally, after a long night online, Saturday morning we find that both the San Francisco and the Burlingame stores have some iPhones available. We voted to make a trip to Burlingame thinking there would be less of a rush and easier parking. A good opportunity for me to make a stop at the Baby Gap store too.
We left on June 29 to visit Sam's mom in Asheville, North Carolina. The trip to get there went really well, even though we had to get up at 4 in the morning.
