Yesterday was a day of firsts.  In the morning, Brother, Joy, and my dad arrived from LA and Kumquat met her uncle and auntie for the first time.

Once she was fed and changed, we took a walk to the Ferry Plaza for lunch.  That meant leaving Kumquat with Jes by himself for about 2 hours.  This was the first time I had left her for a good chunk of time and it was Jes’ first time with her alone for that long too.  I had just enough time to order, eat my lunch, and grab a couple treats before getting a text from Jes: “Where da boob at?” and a photo of Kumquat with a red face.  I hurried home and as I was waiting to cross the street from the Muni platform to my house, I got a second text: “Better double time.” with a photo of her crying.  By the time I walked through the door, she had cried herself to sleep.

In the afternoon, my mom and dad went to dinner with Brother and Joy and it was time for me to try walking the dog with the baby in the stroller at the same time all by myself.  Luckily, the baseball crowd had thinned and Koa was well-behaved.  Phew, it looks like this will be doable after all.

For dinner, Jes and I left the baby with my mom and dad as soon as I fed her.  We went to Hillstone (formerly Houston’s) and I finally got to order my favorite salad: seared ahi tuna with greens, mango, and avocado.  I was so happy to have raw tuna again.  I also got a few bites of Jes rib-eye that was cooked to Medium Rare.  Mmmmm…it’s been so long.  It was particularly good with a few sips of his red wine too.  Oh how I’ve missed you, red wine!  We also had enough time for dessert…key lime pie.  🙂  When we got home, over 2 hours had passed and Kumquat was still sleeping!  Good baby!
