Grandma & Grandpa came to New York.

And because blogging with one hand is tedious (the joys of multitasking while providing dinner for the wee one), commentary will be brief:

• My parents arrived Friday evening - & left this afternoon. They came to see Q + his blessing at church.
• We spent my birthday together! I'm happy to be 28. It was a nice day, & included nice phone calls from family & friends,  a walk through the UES (loved the decorations on the brownstones) & wanderings all over Central Park - including a Pumpkin Festival (where we found red noses) & the Wafels & Dinges truck (surprise). I also found the perfect little spot to breastfeed in the Plaza Hotel. Bonus. 
• We went to our ward Halloween party that night. Quinn was a lion, & then he was a tired lion having a meltdown. 
• Speaking of meltdowns. He now cries like a baby. And not a newborn. This kind of breaks my heart.
• Mike & I went out for a date, alone (!!). Dinner at Mas (Farmhouse), & it was one of the best meals we've had in the city. Ever. No photos though. Definitely not that kind of place. Thank you to my parents for their babysitting services (+ all their help while here). 
• Speaking of Mike. Did I ever tell you about the time when I walked into our room when Q was just a few days old & Mike was rocking him while singing Vampire Weekend (I think I did)? Right now he's singing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. He's a good dad. And a good husband. 
• I desperately, desperately need a haircut. Saturday. Can't wait. 
• Having a baby means I accomplish very little & yet am extremely busy. I'm sorry I never answer my phone.
