Flashback Sundays

Look how much warmer it was last year! I was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and cotton overalls, and this year I'm wearing my cords and sweaters. I'm confused, is this how global warming works?

Anyway, here are some pictures of my first visit with my parents to the Met. last year. We had a little lunch in the cafe and then off the Daddy's favorite part, the modern wing.

Daddy was so excited to show me all his favorite paintings. We had such a great time.

Double Down

While Daddy is in Vegas enjoying the desert heat, I decided to double down on QT with Mommy. I think I may have got it wrong because it is abnormally cold here in the city this weekend. I guess you can't win them all, although I hope Daddy does. When I woke from my nap I went to my perch to see how bad it was outside.

It didn't look very pleasant outside from my view upstairs, so I told Mommy it might be a good day to stay in and make a mess of the house. Here I am enjoying snack no. 1 out of fifty and yes, I did ruin my dinner.

All Aboard

I've been practicing patience a lot this week and I think I'm getting better at it. Here I am waiting for the train to get moving at the playground.

I was getting a little ancy because I had places to go, so I decided to check and see what was going on...
Sitting and waiting again....

At this point I realized that the train was never going to move, so I tried to break out the window.

Thug Life

While Mommy was playing tennis in the park the other day, my friend Donna caught me in a thug-ish moment. I tried to give her the toughest look I have.

Pins & Needles

Halloween is coming up and after such a successful costume last year, Mommy has her work cut out for herself, literally. This year she is going the homemade route, which worries me because her only experience with needles and thread is needlepointing. Here we are in the fabric store looking for the perfect materials for my costume. Hopefully I don't look like a green mess...

The Great Pumpkin

Yesterday we took a road trip upstate in search of the Great Pumpkin. Daddy and I were on the look out when we saw pumpkin patch from the hayride. I was really excited to get pulled by a real tractor and ride in the trailer.

While Daddy was in search for the perfect pumpkin to carve jack-o-lanterns for Halloween, I was still trying to find the Great Pumpkin.

After no luck for me, the tractor picked us back up and we went to the dairy farm to see them milk the cows. Here I am making friends with a newborn calf. Although she was a little jumpy and frightened, she was my favorite.

The Mommies picked a great day for a trip to the country. It was so nice to be out of the city on such a gorgeous fall day. Here's a view of the valley below from Bellvale Creamery on Mt. Peter.

Flashback Sundays

Last year I made a lot of new friends at Gymboree class. Here we all are together for our first group picture. Mommy can't believe how little we were then. We are so sad that our friend Matthew moved away recently and that Daniel will be moving soon too!

I love fall in the city and last year we took full advantage of the wonderful fall weekends. Here we are having a picnic in the park.

Last year I was inspired by the Olympics in Beijing, so I started my gymnastics training early. Daddy said with all the age controversy last year, I may have been able to qualify....he is so silly sometimes.
