Weekend shenanigans

John and I haven't had much time to blog about Davis' new developments, but last week he started to pull up to a stand and last night he took his first steps while supporting himself. He's also doing more tummy-off-the-ground crawling, versus his preferred method of commando-crawling. On Friday, John and I took advantage of having a weekday off to take him to the tumble-gym.

Last night, Grammie sent us out to dinner for our birthday treat. We went to EVOO a favorite restaurant of ours that did not disappoint last night. We both chose a three course prix fixe menu with wine pairings. It was fantastic, especially since the wine pairings allowed us to try wines I would not have picked for myself. We followed it with a trip to the wine store across the street to pick up a couple of them (a Verdicchio and a Moscato d'Asti).

A few other things we've done this weekend include shoe shopping (finally!) for both John and myself. Also, John and I bought our joint Christmas present. It's a strobe flash kit for studio lighting. A while ago we borrowed a backdrop from our friend Dave, but have been wondering about how we were going to light the room for some artsy baby/family photos. We dropped into a photo store on Saturday and were wooed by an entry level lighting kit. Watch for some photos in the future! Here's one of Domino John captured while playing around with one of the lights.
