There's been a serious dearth of baby faces on this blog of late. Too much yapping and not enough chubby cheeks. For that, I am sorry.
So, to rectify the situation, here are two of Edie having the dinner of her life tonight for our Post-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving: Deutschland Edition. Our friend and fellow Amerikanerin Laura helped us celebrate. Dinner was pushed up as early as possible without spilling into late lunch territory so that the munchkin could join us before her bedtime. She's never had a family dinner before, and she liked it. A lot. So much so that she was bouncing up and down and exclaiming "dat! dat!" during quiet bedtime stories. I cannot tell you how disheartening that is to the mom trying to cultivate peaceful baby sleepiness, lest it turn into spastic baby exhaustion. But it was pretty cute.
The food was all right. Will is the Brussels sprouts master (gracias al Mark Bittman). The pumpkin pie was ... tangy? That's the nicest I can be with that. Thank goodness for pre-Christmas trial runs. I'll get it right yet.
Those pictures are just too cute, especially the second one. She looks happy into her little soul.
