Ellis called on Monday and said, "I'm nervous about the future." He wouldn't elaborate but I took it to mean our court date in December for child support. He said he was doing his second paternity test on Wednesday 10/24/07, the day she turns 6 months old. I asked he wanted to come see her and he did, so we agreed he's come over around 4:30pm and go out to dinner.
He smiled as soon as he saw her and that grin was on his face most of the night, he left at 11pm. This was the first time he's been out in public with us and he seemed pleased when people said how cute she was. Vega called later and said when I was in the bathroom that he was staring at her and being adoring, that is good news. She laughed a lot grabbed his face with her drooly hands. He was grossed out at first but I suggested he just let her grab his face anyway, and at the end of the night, he finally acquiesced. He hadn't seen her since she was three months old and so he was fascinated by her. He just stared at her and held her a lot, it was cute. I showed him how she can roll over on her tummy now and was totally surprised when he got down on the floor to be next with us while she played. Shocking!
I did manage to get in several digs about his demand for a second paternity test, but he just made a face and was a mute, as usual when I brought up anything he didn't want to talk about. There was no talk about when we'd see each other again, but I think he fell in love with Zoe during that visit.
