This week, I have two birthdays. Yesterday, November 11, I celebrated my five month birthday. I celebrated by going to Jo's house for lunch. She has become "Grandma Jo." We had a lovely visit. We chatted and caught up and danced around by the pool. She served quiche for lunch, and brownies and tea (decaf, of course) for dessert. My mom loves quiche so much and used to make it quite often. My mom ate some foods that could have made me bad in the tummy (asparagus, cheese, chocolate) but I didn't have any side effects! In recent weeks, I have made such great improvements with what I can tolerate my mom to eat. She mostly has to stay away from dairy still though but sometimes I will let her eat a piece of cheese.
Jo will make me homemade baby food (veggies) when I start eating. But I am most excited about her promise to make me cookies when I am an even bigger boy. She is a great baker.
Jo has such a beautiful home. She lives with her daughter, son-in-law, and two grandchildren. The house was designed by her son-in-law (an architect before he made a career in investment banking). So pretty. Their home could be in a magazine. Architectual Digest? Perhaps as a backdrop for a Martha Stewart spread?
In the late afternoon, after I went home and napped, me and my mom went downtown. My mom went to work for a while and my dad took me to the Capitol. And then we went to Whole Foods for dinner.
Today, I have another birthday: 22 weeks! I am grouchy and it is my dog's fault because he woke me up at 4:00am and then again at 5:30 just as I fell back asleep. And I was woken up again (ugh) at 7:30 when the clown next door started up construction for the day. I like dogs but mine barks too much and he shakes his ears. My mom keeps threatening to tape Remus' ears to his head so they don't make so much noise.
The last birthday of the week will be Amelia's. I am invited to attend her first birthday party on Saturday. I bought her some books for her birthday but don't tell her.
At the bookstore, they have a Corduroy bear and I am so sure I will get that for Christmas.
