Erika's birthday dinner

Tonight we went out to eat for Erika's birthday. After a bit of shuffling to get settled, we had a nice dinner. Erika and Ellie enjoyed coloring a lot while waiting on the food. Max sat beside his new friend Faith (almost 1) and they shared just about everything each other had, including some loving touches of each others heads, arms and hands. It was so cute to watch them explore each other, smile at each other and then just ignore each other and get on about their business. They were great at parallel play, which is all that's expected, but also very sweat and gentle (and I must admit, I wasn't sure Max would be that way if he sat beside a little girl for an hour at the dinner table.)
