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
