3 Years Old!!

By
Can you believe it?!?! Jack is 3 years old today!

Last year, he really loved his party and eating cake. This year, he's been looking forward to his birthday for months - frequently claiming that each day was his birthday. Well, today, Jack-a-bear, you're right!

Jack seemed to have a great day.

  • he opened gifts...and then had to fight them out of Spencer's strong grip.
  • we went swimming and he "jumped" in the pool (he slid off the side into my arms, but this is progress for our cautious little man)
  • he had two breakfasts - his favorite: eggo waffles and then a bagel with cream cheese
  • he helped me pick out veggies at the green market
  • took a great nap!
  • picked out a cupcake from crumbs
  • had a yummy dinner at Bella Giardino
  • and then the best birthday present of all...had Spencer poop in the tub they were sharing...

Well, not everything was great - fortunately, the gifts and the pride he felt telling everyone that it was his birthday and that he was three made the day super special. 

Jack's birthday party is Saturday - should be great fun as well.

A few pictures.

Super Why: Why Writer - so excited!!

Birthday dinner at BG

Here comes the cupcake (Jack picked is favorite: vanilla with sprinkles)

Ready to make his wish.

Wish made. I hope it comes true little man.

We love you!

Spencer Time

By
A few recent pictures of Spencer. He is growing like crazy and picking up all sorts of new skills like grabbing toys on the playmat, grabbing blankets or clothes and shoving them in his mouth, and his new favorite pastime, putting his feet in his mouth (with or without socks!).     Learning all the tricks on his first flight. We lucked out and got an extra seat for his carseat (ok, I lucked out, but still...)  Sleepy times with Grandma    Enjoying a new toy!   Such a big boy

Called up

By
This weekend, the t-ball team was short a few players. Spencer was called up from the practice team to fill in. He was one of the smallest on the field, but played well, even teaming up with Jack for an out!

Veritable Dutch Wonderland

By
Mother's Day weekend, we planned a little trip out of NYC. We headed to Lancaster, PA - close enough for a night away, but far enough away to feel very different than NYC. The weekend was a lot of fun (and honestly a lot of work). All in all, the boys did well. Highlights below: Dutch Wonderland Lancaster is home to several tourist things. We picked one: Dutch Wonderland family amusement park. My cynical self really doubted that we'd enjoy this experience. I was worried that it would be cheesy. But I was wrong. Well yes, it was kind of cheesy because it was a family amusement park. But it was so fun. The place was very geared to families with young children. The rides are categorized by height so it's easy to know what rides your kids can ride. Jack tried several rides: big trucks, bulldozers, leaping frogs, the monorail. He even drove a car! He had a really good time. Spence was a good sport as there wasn't much for him to do. Maybe next year. Justin felt right ...
