Almost there . . .

I'm a few steps closer to walking this week . . . I can take about four steps on my own before I lunge myself into Daddy's arms. I don't know why Daddy wants me to walk so badly . . . doesn't he know that I'll be able to wreak even more havoc?

Here are some other highlights from the week . . .

-- My fourth tooth is coming in nicely, which is making eating Cheerios even easier.

-- We went to the NY Botanical Garden in the Bronx-- all these beautiful gardens, and I wasn't even allowed to get out and play . . . what's the point?

-- We went to Rye, NY in Westchester for a great Memorial Day BBQ. These parties are great and I love going, but there were like 15 people there and I was the only baby-- it's time for Mommy and Daddy to branch out a little bit and find me some friends.




 

Sorry . . .

Daddy and I are very sorry that we haven't sent pics/stories for a few weeks. The angry phone calls and e-mails can stop. We have two problems . . . 1) Daddy's camera is broken (maybe taking 60-70 pics every week has something to do with it) and 2) Our stories from the last few weeks are comparatively boring. Anyway, here are some highlights:

-- We took a trip to Washington D.C. for Mommy's friend's wedding. Ic an live without being in the car for 10+ hours in two days.

-- The Stewarts haven't shown up for our weekly meeting three weeks in a row. We're beginning to think our first meeting didn't mean as much to them as it did to us.

-- My two top front teeth are coming in . . . makes chewing Cheerios alot easier.

-- I can maintain myself in a standing position for several seconds (basically until I realize that I am standing on my own). See picture number 2 for my dismount.

-- Uncle Amit came to visit me . . . he makes a very comfortable place to fall asleep.

Celebrity Sightings: Edie Falco and Michael Imperioli from TheS opranos (not together). Both could stand to run a comb through their hair before they leave the house.

The Stewarts and the News

Daddy and I were sitting in a coffee shop the other day (I was taking a nap like a good boy and Daddy was reading) when a nice family from the neighborhood (the Stewarts) sat down next to us. I was sleeping, but I could sense that Daddy was excited to see them. For some reason Daddy was waiting for me to wake up before he talked to them. After one of my longest naps ever, I finally woke up and Daddy swooped me out of my stroller and propped me up on the table. The family looked over and Daddy looked back proudly. The Dad (Jon) asked how old I was and the Mom (Tracey) asked Daddy how he gets me to sleep so well (like he has anything to do with me sleeping). Daddy and the Stewarts continued to talk about babies and childcare (boring) . . . at one point, Jon was coaxing their son Nate to make funny faces at me to make me laugh (Jon seemed to enjoy it more than Nate). For me, it was a nice morning, but you'd think Daddy had met Elmo or Barney, he can't stop talking about it! I have to say, I think I have seen the Dad on TV . . .

Some other highlights from the week:

-- We went down to the World Trade Center site the day that they started to build the Freedom Tower. Daddy and I got interviewed for the news. They showed the interview on the 5:00 news and I was only on for 1 second! Probably because I was crying the whole time . . .

-- We went to Cleveland to see the family . . . I was nice this time and let everybody play with me!

-- Some other celebrity sitings this week: Whoopi Goldberg (buying some ugly art), Aaron Eckhardt (he's in Thank You for Smoking, which I've actually seen), Jeff Garland (the fat guy on Curb Your Enthusiasm) . . . sadly, none of these people talked to us.
