June 23rd post 1 of 2.

Seymour and Brenda were here through yesterday morning. We had a lovely visit. I think they liked the kid. We learned a few things while they were here- some general, and some specific.

1. Julian can still handle a meal out without bothering any other diners.

2. If you baby proof a house, your child will make a beeline for the 2 things you decided to leave off of the list.

3. Brenda (Jon's mom) likes baby food. A lot. At dinner we found she would happily use her knife to clear out the last few bits in the jar- compliments to the Earth's Best baby food chef.

So Brunch Bunch, take heed, I think you know the menu for her next party.

4. The ladies room at Macy's in Portland is apparently way nicer than ladies room at Macy's in the Willowbrook mall in NJ. Maybe we'll get more frequent visitors now?

5. Our baby glows, from the inside out, see below.
