Rock-a-Bye Baby

The weekend isn’t over yet, but boy have we had a great one filled with tons of fun social events!!

IMG_0518

I chilled out a bit this afternoon, made a salad for our picnic, and snacked on some toast with banana + PB.

IMG_0491

Before we headed to a park for a birthday picnic for Ms. Faith!

IMG_0505

Potlucks are the BEST!!

IMG_0492

We had so many delicious foods! Most (all?) of them very healthy as well!

Such a simple concept to hang out with good food and friends in a public park, but something we overlook way too much!

Francis brought an authentic Polaroid camera – what fun!

And she was also responsible for this incredible vegan avocado chocolate birthday cake!

IMG_0509

Which is really exciting because she posted the recipe on her blog here!!! It was a fabulous cake. It tasted healthy but also totally delicious, and the frosting was awesome!

Happy Birrrrrrth-day to Fa-ith!

After the picnic, we all headed downtown for a Tom Tom Festival concert.

IMG_0558

I was shocked to find that the baby started kicking and moving like crazy! I think he could really hear/feel the loud music. The only question is: were the kicks because he loved it or hated it!? A lot of my friends got to feel them!

IMG_0554

The music was GREAT! Future Birds played followed by J Roddy Walston & The Business. Matt is now obsessed. It’s rare that we both like a band so much. Sadly we did not stay for the whole show because he has been up since 4:30 and I’m …pregnant and tired : ) But what we did hear was fab.

Lullaby, goodnight!

    You look so happy and glowing in that picture with your friend feeling the bump! I thought they stopped making Polaroid cameras (maybe I am crazy though!)…what a treat!

    I would think that babies are used to loud sounds because I am sure the womb is pretty noisy with all the fluid? But I am not sure!

    That cake looks awesome! I remember when I was about 20 weeks pregnant we went out and listened to a band. The baby didn’t move (and i was surprised she didn’t) but then the next morning she was kicking like crazy–it was like she was mad at me for making her cover her ears for 3 hours;-)

    The picnic food looks yummy. Especially, the cake. Although it is not quite vegan with honey as an ingredient. But I am sure you could sub another sweetener. Yum!

    That’s so funny, we went to a Shins concert recently and as soon as the music started, the baby started kicking like crazy! Maybe they like the bass 🙂

    The chocolate cake looks delish…I love how she used strawberries to decorate! I will check out the recipe as my son is allergic to dairy and eggs…I make a vegan version and would be interested to compare…always on the look out for great recipes to try!
