Babes who brunch

My favorite thing to do on the weekend is go to brunch. Yesterday my friends Kara and George drove into the city with their ridiculously cute baby, George Danger, to have brunch with a group of us at the tot-friendly restaurant, Sweetiepie, in the West Village. 

Right when I walked in, I saw this little birthday party going on in the birdcage. How cute is that? The next thing I see when I walk in? Bobby Flay! He seemed to be by himself, so I don't know what he was doing there, but it was exciting. Of course I was too flustered to whip my camera out in time!

Danger held it down at the head of the table. 

My boyfriend started winking at Danger, and then when Robin played peekaboo with him, he winked at her! The kid is a genius. Hmm, or maybe just a ladies' man? 

Danger couldn't stop looking at the mirrors on the ceiling, and Thea (who's holding him) joked that he'll be a natural porn star. If I was that cute, I'd be looking in the mirror, too!

There were tons of fun things on the menu (including tater tots!), but I got the egg white veggie omelet and wheat toast. I like brunch because it's the meal that's easiest for me to eat healthy at. I can order this every time and always feel satisfied. 

No one at our table ordered dessert, but the table next to us go the "piglet" which consists of: sponge cake, whipped cream, bananas, strawberries and six scoops of ice cream! 

The crew!

Kara's so sweet, she got me this T-shirt that says "Gangster-ish" because I mentioned one time I wanted it. I know I'll be wearing it soon, so you can see it up close then.

Of course, I was the only female not to hold Danger. I really want to get over my fear, and I totally talked myself into holding him, except right before he was about to be passed off to me, he started crying. Er, maybe he knew what was coming? Next time I'm doing it, damnit! How hard could it be?!

My boyfriend thinks it's a little weird that I'm not super-comfortable with babies, but I know I'll get over it eventually. Is anyone else the same way? Any tips on how I can ease into this?!

Are your friends starting to have babies?

I have already told my best friends—more than a few times—that I will not have pregnant bridesmaids in my wedding. Now, I'm not sure when I'm actually getting married, so girls, either get knocked up NOW, or you wait until you're 35. 

Of course, I am kidding (kinda, sorta...ok, not really!), but I'm just not ready for all of my friends to start having babies. I am just so.not. there yet. (Sorry mom, I know that's not what you want to hear!) I like my life how it is now—unpredictable, with the feeling that the sky's the limit! I admit it, I'm selfish. I wanna do me before I start giving all of myself to another little human being, and I'm certainly not ready to go to cookouts where half of the people there are under five years-old. 

With that being said, I can start to feel my biological clock start to tick ever so slightly. All of a sudden, babies are cuter than ever, and I have even found myself playing peek-a-boo with a few random babies on the subway. Whoa. And this precious lil' guy is George Danger Wahlgren—my friend, Kara's son. As you can see, his cute-factor is off the charts. I love baby George for three reasons: 1) His parents are the coolest people ever. 2.) His middle name is Danger—'nuff said. 3.) He cannot smell my fear. I told you in this post that most babies can smell my fear and instantly start crying when I am within a 10-foot radius. Not Danger. I met him for the first time this summer, and when he looked at me with those big blue eyes and smiled, I fell in love. 

I hope I don't sound like a total scrooge. Of course, when the time comes to have children (God willing), it will be the biggest blessing of my life. For now though, I'll cherish my nights out, crushing on Samantha Ronson and partying until 6am.

What about you: Are your friends having babies? How do you feel about it? Are YOU having babies??
