Mr. Manners He Is NOT

Sunday after church we went to Ryan's for lunch. Eli was sleepy, but took a little cat nap on the way to the restaurant, so when we got there, he was in a wonderful mood. He is doing so well at restaurants. I remember when he was born, Josh and I NEVER went to a restaurant with him. We were worried about germs, but also we didn't want to get stuck in a public place waiting on food to arrive with a screaming baby, so we just avoided them or ordered it "to go" and picked it up to eat at home. For a few months now, we've gotten braver and have been going out to eat with Eli. He loves to watch everything going on around him, and he's figured out that good things come on other people's plates :) On a side note, I don't think we're going to have a problem switching him to table food. Sunday at Ryan's Eli had eaten some of his baby food and a couple pieces of yummy fruit when he decided to let everyone in the restaurant know that Eli was there :) We got lots of stares and lots of laughs from other tables over his little outburst that lasted for about 10 minutes. He's so much fun!!!
