Our Day Out

Bradley and I met my mom and sister at the Olive Garden by my sisters house yesterday and had some lunch together. I guess before we arrived mom and Tab had a hard time getting the waiter to understand the meaning of 3 people plus a baby in order to get a highchair but by the time I got there it was all straightened out. I don't know why but I always have a hard time getting people to understand that too! Of course, Bradley couldn't resist grabbing everything in his reach that was on the table. Bread and salad plates were his favorite and I think the chilled salad plate must have felt good on his gums because he favored that one. My sister was holding him and he climbed up on the table and started doing the river dance while she was hanging onto him. All the surrounding tables were laughing pretty hard about it. He was having a great time making dinosaur noises too. After lunch we went back to my sisters house to hang out. Bradley showed them his new moves (crawling) and my sister showed us her house newly renovated. Right before we left Tabitha brought her Doberman, Red, inside to see Bradley. He didn't seem to care too much for the baby but Bradley sure did love him! He was laughing at Red and watching everything that he did. Bradley really wanted to pet him but Red wasn't interested. Red did go in for a lick and was rewarded with a big laugh from Bradley. It was really cute to see him like that! I think they are going to be great friends when Bradley is a bit older.

The only damper on the day was that Bradley has a runny nose. I don't know if it is from him teething or if he is getting a cold. He is perfectly happy other than when I am trying to wipe his nose though. I feel so bad for him because he is already getting a raw, red nose and applying Vaseline is not effective as it wipes off every time I wipe his nose. I wish he understood how to blow his nose already!
