Busy August

Some of our friends and family have been giving us a hard time about being behind in our posts, so we decided to catch up by doing a marathon post on the rest of our August, which was filled with excitement and laughter.


Among our adventures, we checked out these Lego animals at the Bronx Zoo....


...and played with these animals at Elisha's party.


Fortunately, we had some restful time on our tummies...


...which is good, since every time I'm on my back, it feels like I'm back at the pediatrician.  I weighed in at 14 pounds, 2 ounces and was 25 inches long and was lucky to not need any vaccines this time.


We're all looking forward to more swinging times as we move into fall!

A Show By Any Other Name Wouldn't Smell So Sweet

You may be familiar with Blue Man Group, but today Linnea and "Uncle" Jamie took daddy and us girls to the antithetical production: Pink Girl Group aka Pinkalicious. It was fuschia-tastic!!
 

Unfortunately daddy didn't get the memo about what color shirt to wear.  Yes, he was an outcast at the "Off-Off-Boyway" production.


The show was a super-fun way to celebrate our birthdays and actually meeting Pinkalicious made us blush!  Thanks again Linnea and Felix!!

Dudes and Chicks

We have spent a lot of time meeting my sisters' friends.  First, we went to Leo's Luau birthday party in Scarsdale, where everyone else got to eat palm tree cake, including Leo's little brother Alex.

Then Dan and Suzy brought over their dudes for dinner.  I have a feeling that baby Jonah and I are going to share a lot more than the first four letters of our name...

Brielle came for dinner, adding some X chromosomes to the mix.

But I was waiting to see these chicks! 

Wild First Weekend

This weekend all of our cousins came to welcome baby Jonas.



I even spent part of each day awake to ensure I could look them in the eye.


Then our neighbors Charlotte and Lindsay (and their mommy and daddy) invited us to poolside brunch.


I slept through most of the eating and the swimming, which was just as well since I don't eat bagels or quiche and I haven't learned to swim outside the womb.


Linnea brought her baby brother over to meet my baby brother.  We got to hold J.J. together which was SO much fun.    

Birthday Buddies

In addition to our own birthdays, spring weekends are when many of our friends celebrate theirs as well.  First there was Isla who had a super-fun gym party...

...and then Lilly celebrated with a ballerina birthday.

Did we mention we had tutu much fun???

And at Brielle's dance party we cut a rug (with our balloon swords).

But nothing compared with the cake-eating.  Happy delicious birthdays, friends!!

Keep on Truckin'

We went to the annual "Touch-a-Truck Festival," but this is as close as we got to any of the trucks.

Instead, I spent most of the time trying to touch the roof of the bouncy castle.

Then, in the afternoon, we took our car and scooter and bike to Leo's new home, where we checked out a building he built inside.

Jonah's Bris

Congratulations to Ari on his little brother, Jonah.  We had the pleasure of attending the bris, performed by our buddy with the squeaky nose and the sure hand, Cantor Sherman.  I still remember going to Ari's bris.


Yay, mitzvot!!

Fire Truck Party

Only one person I know loves fire trucks more than I do. Fortunately, he invited me to his awesome fire truck party!

He even let me drive!

What a guy.  Happy birthday, Theo!!

March Ahead

There was a lot of marching around this month.

We went all the way to the Bronx with Mema to take a ride around the zoo...

...and took a ride on the Bug Carousel.

Then we went out to Jersey, so we could celebrate Ethan's science party.

I thought this party was non-smoking!

We also traveled to Connecticut to celebrate Gabriella turning three.

We big sisters showed off our moves on the bars...

...tada!

I have some pretty good little sister bar moves too.

After all of this activity, our princess dogs are barking.

Now Museum, Now You Don't

Our January was filled with fun museum adventures with friends:

1. Children's Museum of the Arts with Ella and Emily where we learned to make Flubber, which serves as an excellent glove.


2. Steppingstones with Daya, where Liana rode bikes with a skeleton...


...and Daria caught a wave on her surfboard.


3. Then we spent a fun day with Ari at Wave Hill where we worked on scary animal masks.


4. We also celebrated Linnea and Jamie's birthdays. He's old enough to be in a museum and she's pretty enough to be in a museum.
