Max and The Bean { + video }

An old friend of mine offered to babysit Max one morning while I attended a media breakfast for work. I wasn't too worried about Max now that he's over his stranger anxiety, and I trusted her baby-entertaining skills implicitly. Sure enough, she texted real-time iPhone photos of Max being busy with his blocks, totally not noticing I was gone, and FurFur laying down next to them, bored. Leaving the dog alone with a stranger and the baby was my biggest concern, but luckily it was no sweat for Melissa. We went out afterwards to lunch at my favorite gourmet Mexican place in the neighborhood. Max ate whole black beans for the first time, all the while doing his signature "Is it good? Is it good?" head bobble thing. Sure, it's adorable now, but what about when he's older? I'm starting to think I should never have taught it to him! See the video below, or this one here. 

 

{ "Gasp! Is that a bean?!" }

{ "And you want me to do what with it?!" }

 

{ "Maybe if I smile real pretty you'll give me some of that carnitas instead?!" }

{ "No? I really have to eat this?" }

 

{ "Okay, fine. All done." }
