Weekend Visit with Gram

My mom came down on Friday and stayed through the weekend.  Friday we went to an outlet mall and did a little shopping, of course Savannah made out the best.  There's a croc's outlet there so "little miss obsessed with her crocs" got two new pairs.  There were so so so many to choose from so my mom and I had fun picking through all the adorable shoes. There's also a Carters outlet and a Gap so she got a lot of cute new clothes. That night Shane and I got a quick bite to eat while mom stayed home with Savannah, they played and played and had a good ole' time.  Saturday started with breakfast at Mels Diner and yet again we had people coming up to us telling us what a well behaved baby we have, they were so impressed that she sat there and ate and never fussed. (what proud parents we were) You know, she has just always been that way when we eat out.  No tricks, I just always try to bring all her favorite foods and snacks.  We don't order off the kids menu so I bring her favorite fruits and crackers and she'll have some of whatever it is we're eating.  We also try to keep it short, there is no high expectation of her sitting for hours on end so we usually stay for about an hour, give or take.   We don't want to be the parents with the annoying kid in the restaurant that everyone is staring at thinking "God, I hope they're almost finished".  After breakfast it was off to Target for more shopping and groceries.  Thennnn, later we all went to Osaka's Japanese Steakhouse for dinner.  Shane and my mom LOVE that kind of food, so it was a nice treat.  It was Savannah's first time at a hibachi grill so we were curious to see her reactions.  I thought if anything she would love it, or it was at least a great distraction for her.  So we all sat down and there were already two groups sitting on each side of us.  After Savannah got settled in her high chair, the first thing she did was wave and say HI to all the new faces sitting with us.  It was so cute! This little tiny thing in her little  pink dress and pigtails being so cordial and polite was the sweetest thing ever and our new friends thought so too.  So as the cooking began she was just watching and watching, then the fire and flames started and she didn't care for that at all! It scared her, poor thing, so we had to hold her for a little bit while the cooking continued.  Once that was done, we ate, she ate, she watched barney on my phone and that was about it.  Sunday we just hung out at home.  So there it is, another great weekend with my mom aka Gram.
