What?

I'm just sittin' here. . .

Guess who's eatin'?

Solid Food!

Halloween Fun

On the roof at the Met

Grammy and Grampy!

Visiting from California is always hard, but having Adrian to to hold and love makes the trip well worth it!

At the farm

One of the people I buy cheese from was kind enough to let us stay at the farm he and his family own in Ghent, NY. We picked apples, chased cows and saw cheese-making in action.

Smiling baby and apple.












Adrian isn't really sitting in a high chair. It just looks that way. Notice the towel and sweater stuffed into the cracks and crevices.

The Happiest Baby in the World

Adrian's first plane trip (to Florida).

Where he learned to roll over . . .


. . . sat on his Great Grandmother's knee . . .


. . . got singing tips from his Great-Grandfather . . .


. . .and learned to squeal with delight!
Good times.

Coop Family picnic

Every year the Coop has a family picnic for the employees in Prospect Park. Great food, great weather, great friends and the debut of Adrian!



Here he is taking his first big steps.

ok, not really. . .

. . .but close

. . .sort of

. . .ok, not really

. . .but its cute anyway.





Here's Delia, our new nanny. She's half Mary Poppins and half Fran Drescher. . .we can't afford her - but luckily we don't need to afford her because we don't have a nanny.


And the after picnic crash. . .

Bedtime photo shoot or costume change before bed.

And here's the bedtime set. Those are little robots on those pajamas in case you didn't look closely. He's less happy, but just as squirmy. Maybe even squirmier. Sweet dreams!

Just in under the wire for August or squirmy baby photo shoot

This is Adrian's "going to the big city, museums and cool east village day" outfit. You wouldn't believe how many pictures we took to get these even slightly in focus ones. He is just the squirmiest little thing what you ever saw. And happy. Happy and squirmy. Squirmy and happy. And sleepy. Sleepy and squirmy and happy. You get the idea.

Take Adrian out to the ball game

at a party in Croton on Hudson.

Cute picture of Adrian to put at the top of the blog.

Ahoy Matey!

Congee Village (aka: it takes a village to eat all that food)

Only the best Chinese food in the world!


Aaron Zimmerman (Erin's boss - I know it creates confusion all the time) had his birthday get-together at our favorite Chinese place in New York. We took Adrian along, well, because we had to and we wanted to!


Here's some of the food outside our private room in the bussing tray! The service was almost adequate - we almost got the water we ordered. We never did get the glasses. But we did get several 6-packs of Tsing Tao put on the table and opened!

Here's the aftermath at our table. We could have ordered more food, but I think we would have needed an ambulance.

4th of July weekend.

Brighton Beach - Did I mention how we wanted to take some pictures at the beach, but Adrian slept the whole way there and the whole way back? We're beginning to suspect that he thinks we never take him anywhere. He only seems to be awake at the apartment. Erin is not asleep in this picture. She's just resting her eyes.

This is a picture of the fireworks that Adrian slept through. Erin thinks that pictures of fireworks are lame. I took this picture from the balcony of our friends in Jersey City of the fireworks display in the Hudson river - probably 20 miles away. Lame.

Area family has picnic on meridian.

This is our son. He is laying on the insert for the baby carrier we're using. That is on top of a tablecloth. That is on top of the grass on the meridian on Albermarle. Do you like his overalls?

This is our picnic. The meridian runs right down the middle of Albermarle. Adrian likes his mom. Do you like the funny face she is making?

Volleyball! Part Two!!

I was a beautiful day (up until the downpour - which I might have enjoyed more than Erin did) and the rainbow was just the topper to a great time playing volleyball and sharing great food with friends. Thanks to Layo Mayoli for these great shots of Adrian and of us all!

A few pictures I forgot to post.

Yes, I've had to go back to work. And while that might mean great things for the Food Coop, it doesn't really leave much time for uploading cute pictures of Adrian. Wait no longer dear reader!

Adrian loves his mobile! He actually loved looking at the skeleton of the mobile before Erin hung the owls (see below) on in, but we think he likes the owls even more.

Yes, the owls. They're not monsters. Everyone thinks they're monsters. Monsters=scary. Owls=funny. See? Its simple.
Up close and personal.
Sometimes Erin lets me carry Adrian - but usually just around the house. Someday . . .

Volleyball!

Another beautiful day in Brooklyn. Volleyball in Prospect Park on a sunny day in May. I didn't take any pictures of Adrian playing volleyball: he was just too damn good; you wouldn't believe it.

Bath Time!

Yes, we do wash our baby. Here are some snaps of Adrian's first bath.
