Eating Out

Since Samantha was born we have gone through a variety of restaurant experiences. In the beginning, Todd and I would frequent restaurants all the time and even late at night because she would just sleep in our arms or in her carrier. Then we went through a stage where it was impossible to take her out to eat because sitting still was out of the question and she was not yet eating solid foods so keeping her occupied was tricky.
Fast forward to the last couple months and we are back out on the town. She loves to sample whatever Todd and I are eating intermixed with the pile of cheerios we put in front of her to keep her busy. Some of her other favorite things at restaurants are menus, straws, lemons, bread, pickles (this was a recent discovery at Brophy Brothers this weekend), cucumbers and waving to all the people around her.

I have a feeling that once she starts walking we will be back to avoiding restaurants. So until then, we apologize to all the restaurant staff for the mess we leave underneath the table and in the high chair. We do try and clean up as much as possible and make sure to leave a better tip :)
