She was happy to be there as long as she was out of her infant carrier\/car seat. I&#8217;d judiciously given her a late afternoon nap so she could make it to 8:00, which was a little bit of a stretch, but she did. We were in and out in slightly over an hour (an excellent waitress too, who knew how to serve a family with a baby). She sat in Husband&#8217;s lap and tried grabbing everything in sight. She happily played with (i.e., chewed on) the spoons and again sampled water from a glass. She also enjoyed being spoon-fed sips of water. We think Bean is definitely ready to try solids! Last night she sat in her high chair while we ate dinner and enjoyed the socializing. I bought her small 7-ounce plastic tumblers, and it seems she prefers to try drinking out of these rather than her sippy cup. It&#8217;s really charming to watch her attempts.<\/p>\n<p>Aunt LP&#8217;s visit was fun and all too short! We all enjoyed visiting and playing. She came along on several play dates and cooked some grub for us: awesome pasta sauce and The Best Quiche Ever (with bacon!). <\/p>\n<p>We also installed the first of many gates, these on the first level. She&#8217;s not crawling yet, but she&#8217;s gotten good at rolling around. Thursday she has her 6-month doctor visit. She&#8217;s also mostly been sleeping through from a slightly later bedtime (8:00 p.m.) to 5:30-6:00 a.m. (A couple of days she slept until 7 and 8 a.m.!) Yesterday she ate the most she&#8217;s ever eaten: 34 ounces. Seems as though every day is another milestone.<\/p>\n<div class=\"photopost\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/mindfulone\/2328439506\/\" title=\"future pool player? by Mindful One, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2298\/2328439506_1393b2b9d0.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"future pool player?\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><center><strong>Future Pool Player?<\/strong><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday night we went out to dinner at a family restaurant &#8212; Bean&#8217;s first restaurant.
