2 Adults, a Highchair, & a Kid's Menu

After last week with everyone being under the weather I was itching to get out. So despite the rainy cold weather...we loaded up the car and headed out to eat at El Fenix. I had packed a bag with a sippy cup, sweet potatoes, and turkey rice all from Gerber for Jack because it is easy...but it requires us feeding him and when he isn't eating he tends to get antsy. So...we asked the waiter for a kids menu and ordered him a cheese quesadilla.

He liked it alot and still got his sweet potatoes....Nick and I were able to enjoy our meal as well. Next time maybe we'll try some chips and salsa and a margarita. Just kidding!

To continue the food adventures for the weekend Jack had his first taste of watermelon. He loved it, would rock back and forth waiting for more, all while making the MMmmmm sound. It was so cute when he would bite into it....you could hear the crunch sound along with him sucking the juice.

Yup- I can see it now....Jack and Papa C in the pool so Jack can show off his swimming lesson tricks and then sharing a watermelon together afterwards.

Last night the family all ate together at the table...the same meal...at the same time. Ground turkey burgers with melted gouda cheese (ours had grilled onions) and baked sweet potato fries (even Nick ate them). Jack is getting better and better everyday at feeding himself and trying new things. It is nice to be able to sit and enjoy a meal rather than taking shifts or having to wait til after he goes to bed.
