Shopping and lunching...

Yesterday, we took Taylor outlet shopping to her favorite stores (Carter's, Osh Kosh B'Gosh, and Baby Gap). She's growing quickly and we needed to stock up on some everyday, crawling around type summer clothes. Before we shopped till we dropped, we had lunch at the Pizzeria Uno in the shopping center. It was Taylor's first experience in the restaurant high chair. She has a high chair at home that she's used to, but the chairs in the restaurants aren't quite as supportive. But since Taylor is sitting by herself really well, and quickly outgrowing her carseat carrier, we thought she was ready. Boy, was she ready! She proceeded to hold court at the pizzeria with everyone stopping by to say their hellos. While munching on the menu, the manager came over to ask if she cared for a "different flavor of menu."

She has just about made the leap to "real" food and while she doesn't have any teeth yet, seems to "gum" small bite size pieces of bread, cheerios, bananas, or anything else we're brave enough to give her. So soon enough she'll have something in front of her while mom and dad eat, and won't have to resort to chewing on the table! :)
