Eating Out

It may not be a first for Jacob, but it was a first for us with Jacob. Jacob is definitely getting bigger contrary to what one person thinks, story to follow... Jacob sat in a high chair at a restaurant!! (second time, first time was with grandma...)

Amy and I were finally able to make it to Chilis tonight. We tried last week, but things just didn't work out. Upon our arrival we were escorted to our table. Along the way, Amy asked for a high chair for Jacob. Now, Jacob was covered up in his car seat and the lady gave her some attitude and mentioned that the baby was too small. How would she know, she wasn't able to see him?!?! After she ran around doing other things to waste time and we were standing in the aisle, she eventually got us one and again commented on how small Jacob was. We noted to her that he was six months and sitting up by himself. When I took him out of the car seat, again she commented on how small he was and had to tell others that he was 6 months and small. I think either her eye sight is going bad or it has been a long time since she was around a baby and her memory is gone too. Jacob is in basically in the 50th percentile for height, weight and headsize. Anyway, this went on a few more times,but Amy and started avoiding her annoying idiocracy. However, once in a while Amy would still make a comment... This is only a digression to the real story...

The real story is that Jacob sat at the table in a high chair all by himself. He played drop the links and whatever other toys he had, so that his mommy and daddy could pick them up. Amy made a comment that she thought this game would start later, but Jacob said the heck with that, I wanna do it now... Heehee!! Jacob was fed his food and ate like a big boy. We didn't have a bib, but very minimal food was found on his clothes... Good job daddy!!! There were the passers by that would get Jacob's attention in mid bite which would cause his food to end up on his cheek, but what can you expect from an inquisitive 6 month old, right? Just keeps his parents on their toes ;)!

We ended up having a fun time and look forward to warmer weather so that we don't need to take the car seat in any longer... especially when Jacob is awake already :D!
