I updated my PBT today and realized that I’ve only read one book so far this year.  I’m not particularly upset about it but it was surprising.  In related news, we scored some tickets to see Anthony Bourdain speak when he comes to Pittsburgh in June.

Lots coming up- family gatherings, playdates, weddings and birthdays and about six weeks from now we’ll be introducing Max to the ocean.  Assuming it isn’t completely destroyed by then.

For the first time, just Mom and Dad and Baby went out to El Campesino and we assumed, incorrectly, that Max would be well behaved.  Usually when we eat dinner we keep him occupied with a biscuit and some toys and he’ll keep more or less quiet while we quickly scarf down our food.  And usually when we go out for whatever reason he is too distracted to get upset.  Perhaps because it was just the three of us tonight, or perhaps he’s grown out of it, he basically started yelling as soon as we stopped paying attention to him.  I vowed not to be “that family” that brings out a whiney baby to dinner and keeps everyone else from enjoying their meal, but tonight I broke that vow.  Thankfully it was good friday and the place was basically empty.  Maybe we’ll wait a few more years.

My mom is coming this weekend and I’ll be more than happy to pass Max off for a few hours. Maybe Dawn and I can actually go out someplace nice.
