Ice cream cake

You're never too old for ice cream cake - this came from my favorite place (Three Twins Organic Ice Cream). It's Bittersweet Chocolate with an "oreo" cookie crust. Soooo tasty. Brings back fond memories of summer pool parties in Florida - I have to say, as good as Three Twins is, nothing can take the place of Carvel - the ORIGINAL ice cream cake!

Big night out

This was our first night out without baby! I'm drinking a lemon drop at Ozumo in SF - so tasty.
Jacob was at Uncle Pat's house, awaiting the arrival of Grandma & Granddad from Florida. They caught a tail wind & got in early. Jacob did great on our night out, and so did we.

This Little Piggy handprints!

Jacob got his hands and feet printed in clay today - it will become a picture frame. We get it back in about 6 weeks!

Peter in the Marin Century - respite @ Cheese Factory

After months of training, Peter successfully completed the Marin Century Ride!!! And he's NOT completely wiped out! AMAZING. It was 105 miles total and he did it in about 6 hours, not including the 20 minute break at the Marin Cheese Company. Jacob, Sophie (neighbor) and I drove out there with GO PETER GO signs in hand and cheered him on.

Jury duty successfully postponed

Who knew that you could get out of jury duty if you were breastfeeding??!

Jacob is much more tolerant of my folding the laundry now.

I bought yet another bento after the last one disappeared. I have to confess, I derive a lot of pleasure from making a colorful, tasty looking lunch for Peter, versus simply stuffing a sandwich in a bag for him.

Gearing up for a race

Peter is training for the Marin Century ride happening in a couple of weeks. He went on a long ride today - 4 hours - while Jacob and I went to the Farmers market and then had a long afternoon nap. I feel like a well-rested slug.

Bar hopping

Jacob got kicked out of his first bar yesterday (Harry's on Fillmore, SF) - their liquor license permits NO ONE under 21, including babies. (??!!) So we celebrated by heading to Long Bar, a "bar / bistro" just up the street. Jacob then proceeded to get his drink on (his usual "num nums"). But clearly, that didn't quite satisfy - here, he stares longingly at our good friend Brian's Tanqueray & tonic.

first food!

I'm happy to announce that Jacob's first food was "okayu" - Japanese rice gruel. It's REALLY simple stuff - Japanese rice that's boiled down to a slurry, and it's easily digestible. It's also a great thing for adults to eat if you're sick to your stomach. So he seemed to like it - he grimaced a little bit, but he didn't spit ALL of it up. And I was going to wait until 6 months, but his appetite is increasing, and he's staring at my food when I eat. So there's my rationale. I'm bracing myself for smelly poops...

Went to Natural Resources today and got 3 cloth diaper covers and a bag of 100% compostable disposable diapers. I WISH I had the discipline to do exclusively cloth diapers. I don't. I think that the combination of cloth + disposables ends up being the most costly option. But whatever - I'm doing what I can to avoid contributing to the landfill.
