You did really great at dinner considering that it was nearing bedtime, and your 9 months old and into everything. We entertained you with chopsticks, napkins, menus, straws, edamamne, california roll, broccoli stalks, puffs, a cookie, and after dinner mints. When Aunt Erika and Uncle Andrew invited us out for dinner, I'm sure they didn't picture this, but what great sports they are! Even insisting we take you out for ice cream after we ate (and Aunt Erika shared her vanilla with you, sucking off all the jimmies first!)They always want to see you, always fighting over who is going to hold you and sit next to you. You love to flirt with Uncle Andrew, and smile every time you see him. So when it was time for your bottle, and you were just beginning to melt down, of course they offered to feed you. The booths at the restaurant were so tight that this honestly (believe it or not) was the best way to feed you. But having two people with no children feed you like this, only makes them look like they have no idea whats going on! You didn't mind one bit, and we all couldn't stop laughing! They both love you so much, and we always have the best time when the 5 of us are all together. It's so important to me that you are surrounded with extended family and always know how much you are loved by so many. Your Aunt Erika is as close to a sister to me as Aunt Mitzi is, and so many wonderful memories of my childhood include her. I'm so thankful that she loves you so much and wants to include you in her life. With Aunt Erika and Uncle Andrew getting married in another month, I'm hoping for your first little girl cousin to be on the way soon. Boy or girl and whenever it will be, it makes me excited to know that you will grow up together and share many amazing times together just like we did when we were kids.
