With Edward looking after Jack, Mick and I headed to Bistro Lafayette in Alexandria, scene of Mick's last birthday dinner. Taking a few hours for ourselves was fantastic, and we gorged on many French bistro classics (Onion Soup, Escargot, Pate, Steak Tartare, and Mussels) all washed down with a Burgundy Pinot. Bread was scarce though; upon asking for a refill of the basket, we received anywhere from 1-3 slices in return.
Returned home to find Jack melting down. We played with him for a bit and saw him crawl (on hands and knees) for the first time. Everyone was thrilled with that. He also has seemingly mastered "So Big!" as of yesterday. He raises his arms, hands clasped, above his head. I shed a few tears tonight when I saw him do "so big" and then crawl in quick succession. My little guy is growing up so quickly.
Edward heads back to England tomorrow and Mick follows him there on Thursday for a long weekend in the motherland.
