One Year Later @ Cafe Atlantico

[singlepic id=526 w=320 h=240 float=none]

It’s becoming a little tradition that during Restaurant Week in DC, Mommy and Daddy venture to Cafe Atlantico for some cheaper eats.  Last year, when I was about 3 months old, we went there with PoPo.  This year, it’s even better because GongGong and Aunt Fang-Ching came too. 

It’s also becoming another tradition that we order the mint drink at Cafe Atlantico.  PoPo doesn’t normally drink anything cold, but she got a mint drink so that we could take another photo of me 1 year later, “drinking” the same drink.

(3 months old — obviously a photo illusion because I barely even know anything about the world)

(15 months old — no longer any photo tricks. I am fully able to drink with a straw)

What a difference a year makes!  We’ll see what I can do next year!

My First Mixed Drink!

Everyone knows all I drink is Mommy’s milk with daily supplements of carnitine and Enfamil’s Poly-Vi-Sol with iron, but I had my first “sampling” of something a little edgy.  Well, not exactly.

Mommy, Daddy, PoPo, Uncle Jason (Daddy’s cousin from NYC), and I went to Cafe Atlantico in D.C. on Sept 5 to experience my first Restaurant Week.  Mommy and Daddy love this restaurant and I must say, I didn’t ruin it for them or for anyone else in the restaurant.  I was the only baby in the whole restaurant and  I remained on my best behavior throughout the 3 course lunch for $20.09 .  Mommy also ordered a virgin mojito and brought the mint/lime combo to my nose so I could sniff it out for myself.  I definitely like this smell better than the hoisin sauce mommy made me smell at the pho restaurant.  Daddy thought it would be funny to do some camera tricks, so hence my first “sampling” of a mixed drink.

My PoPo left to go back home to Paris on Sept 6 and I must say I am rather sad.  PoPo gave me my last bath and fed me my last bottle on the way to the Dulles Airport.  Mommy even had tears in her eyes when we all waved goodbye to PoPo at the airport.  I will visit PoPo in 2 months and by then, hopefully I’ll be able to roll over and maybe even sit up.

After PoPo left, we drove to the Udvar-Hazy Air & Space Museum in Chantilly near the airport.  Since Uncle Jason had never been there, we decided to visit again.   I was asleep during the whole visit, but just to prove I was there, Daddy was ready with his camera.  Mommy and Daddy marveled at just how many strollers there were at the museum and just how many toddlers were running around.  In many ways, it’s the ideal place for us, kids, because we can run around, cry, and scream without being noticed too much.
