Staring at the clouds

Ahhh. Summer is here and we are enjoying every minute of it! Dre and I spend our days with all kinds of lazy activities–laying on our backs staring at the leaves (he finds it totally fascinating), he loves going for long walks around campus (hoping to run into people who will gush over him and pay him loads of attention), annnnd he loves going for rides in the car, in hopes of finding water fountains (he loooves the sound of water fountains)!

Dre is still the best baby in the world;) He is 3 months now and is cooing and has started giggling…which is the CUTEST thing in the world!…ugh yes, I’m such a ‘new parent’! He is a great little sleeper and we are in the process of getting him to fall asleep on his own…but lets not get started on that! He still loves being held…and will sit content all afternoon if he can sit on someones lap and be part of the adult conversation.

The phrase,  “New York, the concrete jungle” must have been made by someone navigating around with a stroller. Lets just say the city isn’t the most stroller friendly…therefore we have been fairly content to spend the summer rippin around (in our TOMS) in the ‘burbs.

My dear sister convinced me…and I love my TOMS!

LOVE baby smiles!

Lil Wayne, Part 2

04.04.11. My lil’ Wayne arrives. Eyes wide open. Gorgeous head of hair. Suddenly I am a mom—-Wow…sounds sooo strange! 

All of a sudden I’ve entered the world of wet diapers, scheduled feeding times, weight checkups….and the worst of it…wearing flats for a few weeks (ugh…hope that doesn’t last long!)! However, I’m embracing the change and baby Dre makes it easy. I’m learning new skills–such as eating an entire meal in under 5 mins, emptying the dishwasher using only 1 hand…and planning my entire day in 3 hour intervals.

Dre is a very calm baby. He rarely cries and has a very sweet demeanor.  He is very alert and loves to sit back and watch what is going on. He loves being in the moby wrap and walking around with one of us and loooooves being held and cuddled. His little smile is absolutely precious and melts my heart every time!

Here are a few shots of my lil man.

Sleepy smiles.

Biiiig Yawn!

Baby Sneeze!

Calling all Autobots – It’s time to roll out!

My son Noah has transformed into a 6-year-old!  Luck was on our side when there was a break in the rain and we were able to have the party in the backyard.  Good thing, since all he wanted for his party was a transformer pinata…long story short, he ended up with 2!

Transformers awaiting their turn to attack the pinata.

Wouldn’t be a boys party without some messy situations!

Wool jackets and riding boots

Brrrrr!….Helloo winter in New York! Yes…it is freezing cold, there are thousands of tourists crowding the streets and everyone is fanatic to finish their holiday shopping….Despite the craziness, New York is still the most beautiful city in my eyes.

A few shots from around the city.

New York is famous for the incredible window displays that many of our larger Department Stores unveil every holiday season. Below are the holiday windows at Bergdorf Goodman. This year’s title is”Wish You Were Here” . The displays are organized by means of transportation. “Full Speed Ahead” has nautical mannequins piloting a boat, “Daytripping” is all about space travel and the vehicle in “A Guided Tour” is a flying horse.

My own lil’ wayne!

Well….yes! As many of you know, I have timidly entered the world of pregnancy and parenthood. To be honest, I’m a little nervous about all this ‘being a parent stuff’. While I love children and have always wanted a family….it is terrifying when I find myself googling strollers and diaper bags…I mean, all I ever googled before was people.com and TMZ! And so….my world is changing….sob!

Lil’ Wayne is delightful so far….kicking and growing…and keeping me starving all day long! We don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl….we will wait and see. (But believe me, I’m dying to go shopping for him/her…baby clothes are so cute!) I’m due in the spring and if all goes well, we plan to have our little baby here in New York.

While pregnancy seems to be a blissful time for so many women (or sooo they claim?)…it has not been the most enjoyable few months of my life. Because of this, my half of the blog will be a little bare for the next little while. I love going out and exploring and taking photos along the way…and I enjoy blogging about it after.  However, lately it has become something that I just don’t have the energy for. I am still hopeful that I will wake up one morning and feel this surge of energy and complete lack of nausea…but until then…I’ll be sitting back with a chocolate bar and enjoying all the shoots that Melissa has been doing the past little while.
