Catching Up

Remember when I used to post more regularly?  I have good intentions, but little time.  Josh took some good pictures of the babe last week - which i hope to post this week.  In the meantime- I love NYC.

Saturday's are my favorite. It is rare that the three of of leave the house before 3 in the afternoon, but when we do leave- the adventures begin. Subway rides have gotten pretty easy with Sonny. He likes to sit in his own seat or hold the center poles (prefers to do this with no help) and this weekend, he started to practice pull-ups on the top hand rail. He can hang on by himself for a couple seconds which is pretty impressive for a not-quite-yet-year-and-a-half-year-old. He is very much a NYC Boy (cue Pet Shop Boys) - Strap Hanging, Pizza & Ice-cream Eating (he calls Pizza: "Peeta Peeta Peeta"), Pigeon & Squirrel Chasing, Dancing, People & Street Performer Watching NYC Boy - one man let him help him play the bongos this weekend  (i know all of the above can happen in any city, but especially NYC.)

Spring is here and Summer is just around the corner, I look forward to many many NYC adventures within the next few months.

 

5 Months (draft pictures)

Not the official 5 month photo shoot, I forgot to do that this weekend. Scratch that, I didn't forget, we just didn't have time. WHY ARE THE WEEKENDS SO DANG SHORT??? I hate that crap. 2 days, really? 2 days to do eight million things (one day if you keep the Sabbath)? It just doesn't add up.
Anyway- Last Friday (the 18th) the weather here in the city was perfect. It was what almost (I think)every New Yorker has been waiting for. 74 degrees. Splendid. People broke out their flip flops and tank tops and crowded the parks. It was perfect. Josh picked Sonny up at the sitters and met me at work. After showing him off we made our way downtown and hung out at Washington Square Park for a little bit. Josh took these there. Today the high was 40. Bah.
