Baleen turned 28 and 364/365ths today. The Dragon Boss, who's 3 months and 9 days old, has us measuring our age like we do his, though I haven't let Baleen transition to TDB's 3-hour cycle of eat, activity, sleep.
We're celebrating Baleen's birthday like we do most things in the Mission suburbs, by feasting. It started on Sunday night at Locanda. Shrimp Jr. babysit TBD, allowing Baleen and me to saddle up to the bar while they cleared our table, and when we didn't like the table, we went back to the bar and the bartender who truly liked us. He benevolently rewarded our loyalty with a complimentary stout from Green Flash Brewing and after dinner apertifs, but what we really liked was the homemade pasta. Even with that wedding registry pasta maker addition to the KitchenAid mixer, we just can't duplicate that at home.
On Tuesday, Baleen's actual birthday, it's sushi for lunch with Rowan and Cooper's mom, and linguini with clams for dinner. And after that, this just about to be baked cake with 29 candles, probably one or two more than she can blow out in one go.

Whoa, shrimp, how was babysitting? Elizabeth and I couldn't even put him down for a late-morning nap. He defeated all our attempts to swaddle him.
More like house sitting Margarine. :) The swaddle is so difficult! I think he's figured out how much power he holds during rookie swaddle attempts.
