Schmoozer

Alex is already learning how to network like a pro. Although Dad was at work all day, Alex was busy making connections, getting his name out there, getting lots of exposure.

First he had a power lunch with our good friends Helen and Dana (Dana the doula). They came down to see Dana (Dana the Mom) and Alex and apparently just had a wonderful time, really hit it off. I wouldn't know, because I was busy shovelling coal for the Man. Alas...

Then, we headed back down to DU for another night of heavy duty schmoozing. This time, Dana's Lawyering Process class got to meet the little guy. Her professor Amy just melted when she saw him. I guess she has a soft spot for younger men. After his introduction, Alex and I left class in search of food. We walked all over campus as it was another gorgeous afternoon. Alex didn't even wear his hat for part of the walk! He's kind of a daredevil.

We ended up getting some curry at Tokyo Joe's on Evans. Dad even had a brewski, which was ever so refreshing. Mmmmm... Sapporo... And the ultra goth cashier chick who normally ignores me came alive when she saw little Alex. It was cool. She was like totally friendly.

Then we came back to campus just in time to meet back up with Dana. The Intellectual Property Society of Denver was having a meet and greet reception in the lobby. Since IP is what Dana is going to law school for, we thought it would be worthwhile to stop and chat. Alex met several practicing IP attorneys and several more students about to graduate. He was a big hit, and a major ice breaker! He may even have secured an internship for the summer! [Honestly, Dana was a big hit too and made some good contacts]

Finally we headed home, exhausted. Now it's time for 90 minutes of sleep, then feeding, then 30 minutes of sleep, then diaper change, then a couple hours of sleep, then feeding.... you get the idea. Sorry, no pictures tonight, will get some tomorrow.

Alex has had really chapped lips for the last several days. You probably noticed in some of the pictures. We've been using some all-natural chapstick, but it doesn't seem to fix the problem. He doesn't seem to be too bothered by it though, so we'll just do what we can for him. Chapped lips are part of the equation of living in the arid Rocky Mountain west, so he's going to have to get used to anyhow.
