Today, we got to spend the afternoon with Baby Landon (who isn’t much of a baby anymore) and his parents, Karen and Mark. It was so good to see them again. I can’t believe it’s been FIVE months!

Last night, our friends Lori, Emi and Mia invited us out for dinner at one of Philly’s best new restaurants (according to Philly Mag), Barbuzzo. After a little snag trying to get sat (the hostess tried to tell us after seeing our two toddlers that they didn’t have a table big enough for us, even though Emi made the reservation weeks ago and called and confirmed the table twice and told them we were bringing toddlers), they magically found a table for us and our dinner began.

We had a great time. The food was amazing, our server was attentive and sweet and the company was fantastic as always. The asparago pizza (with shaved asparagus, panchetta, truffle and farm egg) and the dessert salted caramel budino (with dark chocolate crust, vanilla bean caramel and sea salt) where the highlights. Actually, the budino was more like, life-changing.

And Quinn likes grilled octopus. Who would have known?

I was a little worried about how she was going to do. We had a weird day and she didn’t take a nap and barely ate lunch so she was a complete grump before leaving the house. Luckily, she napped in the car on the way there and we drove slowly. When we finally arrived and she saw her friend Mia, she was totally fine.

I don’t know why I’m always so worried she is going to be bad when we go out and do stuff like this. She is always pretty good and last night was no exception. She did have a little screaming there towards the end (after the sugar kicked in from the budino), but it was loud in there anyway so I don’t think it was an issue. For 4 courses at a small, non-kid friendly restaurant, she (and Mia) both were great.

Then, afterwards, we went outside for some dancing on the sidewalk. Just two gals hanging out in the big city. 

This morning, I hosted our weekly local new moms group at my house. While all the kiddies were here, I had to get a photo of Quinn’s birthday buddy Matthew.

Matthew is totally awesome for two reasons. 

1. He shares the same birthday as the Bean. He is only two hours older than her.

2. His hair. LOOK at it! It’s amazing!

Here’s the future couple chillin’ on Quinny’s blanket. I love the way they interlocked arms like they are about to walk down the aisle together.

That Matthew…already so romantic!

P.S. Please, do not mind Quinn’s M.C. Hammer pants. Quinny don’t hurt em!
