baby rocks.

I just came across this post in my drafts, from nearly over two months ago! I can’t believe I never published it…

A couple weeks ago we got home late and decided to order in, and as we sat there flipping through our giant stack of menus, I realized we hadn’t had sushi in an usually long time. Not since before Colton started eating solids at 6 months actually! But HB isn’t really an ordering in sushi type of guy, so he promised we would go soon and we went with an authentic Thai place instead.

So last week we went to sushi… and Baby LOVED it! We made sure everything he tried was cooked (nothing raw this time), but it was still bonafide sushi and we still chose some delicious special rolls. He had one with scallops and crab, one with mango and asparagus, veggie tempura, but his favorite food of the night was their famous edamame potstickers, which were voted best potstickers in NYC in 2007, and boy were they amazing! 

All the waitstaff were blown away by Colton and couldn’t get over ogling over him all night. They would come over and give him high-fives, stare from a distance and watch him eat. You should have seen them when we helped him use the chopsticks. They were just in shock A) that our baby was in their restaurant, B) that he was eating actual food (not pureed food), C) that he was eating SUSHI, and D) that he was happy and so well behaved the entire night. Most of the other patrons kept their eye on him all night, too, smiling and pointing and being impressed. We were kind of surprised at all the commotion over him, but I guess it really was a sight to see. And I have to admit, I really liked all the attention he got because of his eating skills at such a young age (9 months to be exact). Yay for my sophisticated little tot! Ha.
