we've arrived in Cabo :)

Babcia brought me a truck....I've been playing with it all morning. Oh yeah, and the dinosaur, too.

Stopping for a moon-shaped cookie and some chatter on a blustry day in Astoria Park.

Wee man

This is how we get splinters

HUGO vs THE STEINWAY DOLPHIN

Hugo at Play

With great weather, we've been able to get Hugo out and running around...and boy, can he run around. We have trouble keeping up.

There hasn't been a visit to the park yet, in Astoria, where we haven't been told what a "beautiful boy" he is. Either that, or he gets blessed by kind older ladies.

But Hugo has no time for pleasantries. The park, any park really, must be explored!

Still with the orange toys...



Expensive toys? Who needs them...just send us a box. Or a $5 Kitty...

We've solved the kitty problem, at least for now. We'll be going to Ikea to stock up for future kitty shortages.

Holding mommy's hand as Hugo walks around the front of our apartment.

Beautiful Day for Swinging

Finally, some great weather in Astoria and Hugo got on to the swing for the first time in his life....and he only had to wait five minutes (usually the park is swarmed with mommies, nannies and babies on nice days). Apparently, he had fun but was more interested in checking out the kid-action rather than swinging.

"...not much happening to the right..."

"...not much happening to the left. Guess it's just you and me, Kitty."

Tarzan, Lord of the Crib

Jen and I never know what we're going to see when we open his door.

We have no idea how he wiggled his arm out his onesie, but we aren't surprised, really. We've known him to remove socks and pants with relative ease.

"He's strong to the finish 'cause he drinks his spinach." Actually it's a green fruit juice smoothie.

Standard procedure after waking from a nap is to fire the entire contents of the crib (that isn't tied down) on to the floor.

Hugo got to ride forward in the car today...a first. As you can see, the excitement was overwhelming.

Our Recent Blizzard

So the snow in NYC has been crazy this year! This past Thursday and Friday was the third blizzard for us this month. Hugo got a bit more comfortable with the white stuff. Siting on mommy's lap, Hugo brought himself to touch the snow and taste it, but he was a bit too tired to play in it...



...Daddy, however, got to shovel it. A lot of it! But it was a snow-day for Daddy, so we all got to hang out together at home.

Choco-face

We gave Hugo a small chocolate cookie a few days ago. He loved it! He spent 15 minutes devouring his hands afterwards.





Mommy says he's still very kissable, even with a chocoface.

From Valentine's Day in Soho

It was a freezing day in the largest outdoor mall in New York--otherwise known as Soho. Hugo finally had his first taste of a street pretzel. We'll wait a year or so before we attempt to give a street dog.


we're actually missing gray kitty at the moment. If anyone's seen gray kitty, please let us know, because we are surviving on calico kitty and weasel-the-ferret at the moment.

more fun with the curtain

Here's Hugo playing hide-and-seek with the living room curtains.

Snow Day

Having a blizzard today....brought Hugo outside to try playing in the snow for the first time...but he's not quite on board with the "snow is fun" theory. He'll get there.

A hat on his head

This morning - bath time. He may look like Mommy, but he's built like Daddy.

@ Juliet's first birthday party. Hugo tried Red Velvet Cake! He loved it!

Playtime

Chasing stuff around the apartment.
