Running, Mohawks and Target





What a wonderful weekend we had. Saturday was spent playing together at the house and then dinner out at Outback. This was the first time we fed Blaine his solids dinner out in public. What a production! First, we had to take a bib to catch the food and a bib to wear under that bib to protect the clothing. Then we needed the highchair cover and wash cloths for cleaning him up afterwards. Then, of course, we brought his cooler full of goodies with his spoon, sippy cup (with his special water), peas and brown rice, banana rice cereal and applesauce for dessert. They put us at the smallest table in the restaurant. I guess the 15 year old hostess didn't see me dragging in Blaine's diaper bag, my diaper bag and Dave's diaper bag, plus a cooler, a highchair shield and the kitchen sink. We managed. And have you ever been to Outback Steakhouse? They have steak knives bigger than Blaine and of course that's what his eyes found and wanted the whole time. I don't remember eating 2 loaves of their delicious bread, a salad and drinking three glasses of water... I only remember feeding, cleaning and managing Blaine (back and forth with David) for an hour and a half. It was quite the experience and we'll do it again, again, and again... :) We also went for a good run on Sunday - Blaine's got it made in his running stroller! And then spent time at the pool (notice his mohawk-courtesy of SPF 100) and the last picture is Blaine after a long weekend of fun, in the cart at Target, getting last minute items for the week. David also did yard work, while Blaine and I vacuumed for the 10th time this weekend (gotta keep up with the dog hair!) and did laundry. Now it's Monday - back to the grind for everyone, except Mister Man of course who will spend the day investigating his new world.
P.S. Happy 7 month Birthday Blaine!
