Javier Bardem took a break from shooting his new film, Venuto Al Mundo, with a family lunch outgoing with wife Penelope Cruz and their son.  Smiles and lots of love where on the lunch menu.  UsMagazine.com captured the parents enjoying the meal as well as the company of their 10 month old child, Leo. About being a parent, Cruz told Vogue in June, “From the first second, you feel so much love. It is a revolutionary experience.  That’s the best way I can describe it.  It transforms you completely, in a second.  Nature is very wise and gives you nine months to prepare, but in that moment, when you see that face, you are transformed forever.”

2. Touch: Just taps on the hand or rubs on the back throughout the date can keep things intimate.
