We also got a chance to catch up with our good friend Gita that we know from Chicago. This was my first time meeting her and she had me at hello....
It was a wonderful afternoon to be outside and Franklin Square was so much fun. Here we are showing the Elmos the mesmerizing fountain and trying to figure out how to get in for a couple splashes.
Thank goodness it was already broken, because after another covert operation, all fingers might have been pointed in my direction. We both wanted to get better look at the bell to see why it was special. I got Big T to distract Daddy while I tried to break through.
After that operation failed, our new strategy was to overwhelm Daddy with our presence so that at least one of us could get up close and personal. Here is Big T going for the gold....
In the end we never made it, but Daddy said that Pete majored in US History so he would explain it to us later. Here I am enjoying a great view of Independence Hall from the bell.
Play with Floam.....I know, it sounds strange and felt even stranger. So strange that I didn't even want to try putting it in my mouth.
I got to play the BIG piano and rock some of my skills....
But best of all, I got to sail the SS Tom Beckett. I had so much fun steering and riding the waves up and down.
It was a long evening for us with the unexpected pit stop and all, so by the time we got to the hotel it was late and I was a little out of sorts. I wasn't sure if it was bedtime or time to play...
Mommy must have thought it was bedtime because she got me ready for bed. Not surprisingly, Big T and I had a very different thought. Here we are playing in the hallway and being corralled by Sara.
The Daddies had the brilliant idea of a sleepover, so here was the set up they concocted. The baby monitor app on the iPhone was a great find by Sara, if only I would have cooperated for them. Long story short, sleepover attempt #1 failed miserably, but all subsequent attempts allowed the Mommies and Daddies to get their fill of Bananagrams.
I also spent a lot of time visiting with friends last year, because everyone was so excited to see how fast I was growing up. Here I am with one of my biggest fans.
Last year I didn't really understand the concept of protesting and voicing my opinion, so Mommy had free reign. That is how I ended up in a hat like this....I've already told her that this will be a very different year.
I have to give her credit though, I was so stunned to find myself at the doctor's office, I didn't even think to voice my opinion about it. I just stood in the corner trying to figure out how it all happened.
We were all happy to find out that I weigh 23 pounds and 10 ounces, since I'm not the best eater anymore.
Here I am getting ready for the ouchies from the nurse. I had no idea what was coming to me....four big ones. Next time, I will pay a little more attention when fun replaces a nap.
I felt like a real big boy sitting in a real barber shop seat. Everyone was very impressed by how well I did, as you can tell by all the smiles.
I will admit that there were a few tears when Kim pulled out the buzzy-thing to trim around the edges, but as you can see they were pretty minimal.
I am so much happier with my new clean cut look!
