Hangin' Out

This is pretty much what we've been doing all day. Now that it's April we're looking at a whole weeks worth of showers coming our way, and I'm scrambling to think of fun things to do indoors. Luckily, the drizzly overcast weather is highly conducive to napping and Aiden is catching up on some sleep time. I'm hoping that the weather is better upstate this weekend so that Aiden can actually enjoy the backyard and the playground.

The VERY BUSY DAY

Daddy made breakfast

So, today we crammed in every fun thing we could think of since yesterday was so unbearably windy that we ended up staying in. After Sean made everyone a delicious breakfast we all walked up to Prospect Park, which was beautiful and green. It seemed like everyone was out enjoying the weather.

At Prospect Park

Aiden spent an excellent twenty minutes throwing things into a very deep puddle we came across. He also chased every bird, squirrel and dog he could see and wandered all over the place while we marveled at how steady on his feet he's become.

Grand Army Plaza

Finally we walked up to Grand Army Plaza and got hotdogs, which I've been dying to do since the weather got warm, it's the quintessential New York lunch. We walked back home and stopped for ice cream too, because heck, it was just that nice out.

Finally we had to take my mom to grand central to catch her train, and after that we wandered around mid-town for a little and rode back to Brooklyn. Altogether, it was a very long, very fun day. We already miss grandma but will be back upstate on Thursday for the Easter weekend.

Here's Looking At...

YOU!

Grandma's here, and it's been hours of fun. Even though it ended up being a very windy day, and too chilly for the park, we've been playing lots of games inside. Hopefully tomorrow the sun comes out and we can go into Manhatten for a little trip.

How Many Stamps Mom???

Trying to mail himself to grandma's. Luckily, she's coming to visit tomorrow. It's supposed to be a gorgeous weekend, and the park is officially opening so I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun. We actually visited the park this afternoon and Aiden met a little girl named Jasmine. I can already tell he's going to be a ladykiller since she came right up, gave him her bundle of sticks, and ran her little hands through his hair.

Ouchy

Here's Aiden showcasing the big red bump he got from banging his head on the crib yesterday.

Baby Kisses

At least he hasn't tried this on any of the girls at the playground yet.

Taking a Time Out

This usually happens late in the afternoon after I've exhausted all of my magical mom tricks to keep him entertained. I make a cup of coffee and Aiden gets a cracker and we lay around for a half hour or so listening to Van Morrison or even (gasp) watching Curious George. It's a really nice time of day when we both just take a little break and let ourselves be lazy.
