Happy (belated) Birthday, Chris!
Okay, so better late than never I suppose! Chris celebrated his birthday Wednesday the 20th. We had a nice quiet evening at home, just the three of us at Chris’s request. His birthday dinner was filet mignon (thanks, Steve, for showing me how to grill it last year!), garlic mashed potatoes, and cranberry spinach salad. He was very spoiled this year and received a ton of camera stuff, a new lunch box, some sort of tablet thing to edit pictures…new shoes…new gloves…and some new shirts.
Here he is playing with his new toys.
and for dessert…a peanut butter cheesecake
Make a wish!! Albert loved helping Papa blow out his candles.
Happy birthday, Chris- we love you!!

Albert's First Haircut
Today we bit the bullet and took Mr Man to get his very first haircut at Papa’s barber. He was very good and sat really still until the last couple minutes. He looks like a different man! Sniff sniff.
Crazy Amazon Man
The transformation begins…
A brand new man!

Bird Chaser
Today was a beautifully sunny day and the temperature actually reached 40 degrees- which was almost like a mini heat wave compared to the last weeks! So I bundled up Albert and took him to a local park so that he could run wild for a little wild after being cooped up indoors for so long. True to form, he had a fabulous time chasing the birds. He gets so excited it’s funny. and since he’s currently refusing to talk, he shrieks his delight!
He was also a crazy man on the jungle gym. So much fun to watch him having a good time! He always makes me laugh.
And, Mr Crazy Man sometimes gets so excited he runs too fast and loses his feet. By the time we came home his hands were covered in dirt and so were the fronts of his pants and coat!

Helping with the Dishes?
ooh! Yes! Success! what’s in here? (notice the tip toes!)
Reach for it…
Ta-Da!! A bowl!!
I think it belongs right down here…eerr….i can’t reach!!
that’s ok, I’ll just do the bowl toss- catch!
and for the finale- jump and down and see if the door breaks!
and now the problem is, he thinks it’s super cool to repeat this process- our fault- instead of telling him sternly to get off- we ran for the camera!!

I Bet She's Smiling
My Mamasan LOVED popcorn, as much as my father I think, which says a lot (and also may be one of the reasons she liked him so much!). Albert and I in the afternoons once in a while will make popcorn for a special afternoon treat. He loves it- always makes me think of Mamasan. I bet she’s smiling!!
oh I’m sorry- did you want some?
It’s some good stuff!!

Birthday Girl
Last Monday I celebrated my 28th birthday- yikes! Hard to believe. The day was quiet and nice. Albert and I took a nap (I had worked the night before). That evening my friends Mary, Avery, and Christiana came to dinner at Nick’s with me, Chris, and Albert. We had a lovely dinner and then came back to our apartment for some Proseco and Avery made this unbelievable bread pudding with croissants, white chocolate and cherries that had been marinated in white wine! OMG! FABULOUS! Thanks to all for helping to make the day special!
Hey! How‘bout some pasta over here?!
me and my boy
oh…oops…excuse me a moment
the Birthday Girl
Good conversation, with good friends, and good food!

Mr. Sweet Tooth
I was using up the last of our white chocolate and candy canes making peppermint bark. Albert really appreciated it!! He LOVED licking the spoon- and then proceeded to bounce off the walls.

Mr. Wet Socks
Sometime around New Years, one night Albert thoroughly entertained us all with his water bottle. He thought it a grand idea to dump the water out of it all over the floor and proceed to dance in it like a maniac. We were laughing so hard!!
The pictures don’t really do it justice- I wish you could see more clearly the huge puddle of water he’s playing in
Oops- I think they see me…What? I didn’t do it….
Hey! What’s all the commotion about?!
Wait…I think there’s still some in there…

Farmer's Market
Every Saturday there is a Farmer’s Market right by Memorial where I work. I dont mind working Friday nights because it’s quite handy just to cross the street and buy yummy and beautiful produce! I took my family there this morning and they enjoyed it too.
mom finding lots of good stuff!
A day of New York shopping: A mop, a coat rack, fruit, vegetables, and a Christmas tree!

Crazy Monkey
For his birthday, Auntie Erin got Albert a monkey that laughs and rolls over. He wasn’t quite sure about it at first, but here’s a video of him warming up to the crazy cackling monkey. Thanks, Erin!!
