Future Foodies of America

Maddie and I had our first lunch out today. We dined with Melissa and Keller, and of course, Maddie started crying about 5 minutes into the 15 minute drive to the restaurant. We were planning our baby-tantrum exit strategy while I made an attempt to calm her with an ultra-swaddle (which luckily worked and she slept through the entire lunch). We were able to enjoy ordering AND eating before she woke up! Awesome. I'd like to take this moment to thank everyone that made this lunch possible - Melissa for driving and helping with the contingency plan, the host for seating us extraordinarily quickly, our crazy over-friendly waitress for cooing politely over our well behaved children, and last but not least, the cook for throwing together my salad in Phelps-esque record time. There will definitely be more eating out after today's experience...sorry Nick!
