Last night, we went to a restaurant for dinner in honor of Tom's birthday. Now, being a proud mother, I happen to think my baby is adorable. I even happen to foist that opinion on others with little provocation. Still, I think it is fair to say that my bias isn't that blinding when a total stranger comes up to me as I am holding Alex up to the mirror to entertain him and says "I wish I had a camera! That is the happiest, most adorable baby I have ever seen!" And we are not talking fawning 20-something women, either. This was a guy in his early 40s -- not the demographic that is usually bowled over by cute.
