Taking Andy to a party

We brought Andy's trusty headphones and iPod to my brother's house for a first birthday party. Andy needed to wear his headphones the whole time to keep from crying. We also sat him in a room with a few other people in it. The small kids mostly stayed in a different room at the back of the house. We fed him right there on the couch with his headphones on, and didn't try moving him to a table. The party had about 30 people, which can be chaotic for Andy, but the headphones help us to stick around.
