Grandpa Yuan came back from Texas today. He took the girls (Anma, Gigi, and me) out to dinner at a seafood restaurant. Unfortunately Papa was at work. :( He missed a great lobster dinner!

The big news is that Gigi used a straw for the first time! I've tried giving her water using a cup with a straw before, but she had always just chewed up the straw. This time I demonstrated how to use a straw, like I usually do, and she copied me! We were all amazed!

I think the difference was that the straw was actually a piece of plastic tubing, so you really couldn't chew it out of shape. She loved drinking from the straw. I was a new toy for her.

Although we were having lobster, Gigi didn't want any. She enjoyed the bread, clam chowder, fish sticks, and fresh strawberries, instead. It was a fun and tasty meal for all of us!
