A little too much excitement today

First in line!
(Unfortunately, Jesse doesn’t meet the bouncey house’s height requirement.)
Resting up
Jesse’s got a big evening ahead, starting with Hot Shabbat at TRS, and then Grandma Michell’s arrival. So he’s grabbing a nap in advance.
Road warrior
Jesse and I took a nice walk around the neighborhood this morning in his new stroller.
Walks mean quality naps …
… which continue even after we get home.
Sick and tired of posing for all of these pictures!
Jesse was especially photogenic in his plaid shirt today. But the cheerful smile turned to frustration as he got fed up with Mommy and Daddy taking all those photos!
Mad for plaid
Jesse enjoys kicking back in his play clothes after an outing to the mall.
What’s up, Doc?
Here’s Jesse with Dr. Cindy Kinder, who delivered him six weeks ago. Jesse accompanied me to my appointment, and the doctor graciously posed.
Dan says he will never forget the sight of the doctor, in scrubs and a face shield, climbing on the table and yanking the baby out like she was pulling weeds.
And then, hiccups
Six weeks old!
It’s been six weeks since Jesse was born, and a lot of things in our life have changed, including what constitutes a “night” of sleep.
One constant, however, is our love for our favorite restaurant, Coastal Flats, where we haven’t eaten in about two months.
But today’s the day we decided to introduce the baby to Fairfax Corner. (Technically, he’s not making his debut, since he rode along to get takeout at P.F. Chang’s on Mother’s Day and cruised around the Israel Fair a week ago Sunday. But it’s still a milestone.)
We’re dipping a toe in the water with lunch, rather than a bustling dinnertime experience.
Jesse held the pager, which started to buzz after only a minute or two.
Here’s Dan contemplating what to order, with the stroller folded next to him in the booth:
Jesse, of course, is ordering off the menu:
Good morning, merry sunshine
When I was in preschool, Miss Mary would chant with us each day, “Good morning, merry sunshine./We’re glad that you are here/To work and play together/On this new day of the year.” (Miss Mary’s album of inspirational music used to live in Grandpa Chuck’s vinyl collection years ago.)
So here’s Jesse greeting the day:
