Presents from Auntie Mindy

The other day Noah got an early Valentine’s Day package from Auntie Mindy.  Such a sweet Aunt.

The walk to pick up Noah from day care getting a little brighter.

I told Noah all about Auntie Mindy’s package all the way home, so when he was done with dinner, he was ready to tear into that box.

Laughing at a photo of himself that was in there.

Socks!!!

Putting them new socks away (Auntie Mindy washes everything before she sends it).

Thanks Auntie Mindy.  Very generous of you.

While Mom (Kate) was busy making brussel sprouts, Noah and I caught a little bit of the Macy’s parade (even though studies suggest no “screen time” for kids under 2…).

Ryan (who lives on the first floor with Ellen) was working on his tennis game at the park down the street.

I have a love/hate relationship with Target.

A) I live in NYC, I shouldn’t be shopping at Target.

2) Target is so tempting, they should have everything.

C) They never have what I want.

“Noah what do you think?”

With her new job, Kate is starting to think about shopping a little more…

With his new ability to walk, Noah’s thinking about parks a little more…

Noah is still amazing at finding the dirtiest places to be.

So I shake the dirt off him with the swing (I’m kidding… you know he loves the swing even if in this flick he looks terrified).

Noah’s first birthday (Prospect Park edition)

Yesterday was Noah’s actual birthday, and Kate and I thought it would be good to have just a simple little picnic in the park.  We thought it would be nice to have something easy and welcoming. With help from Noah’s Nana and Opa Urban, who are really good at and enjoy throwing fun parties, we had a picnic plan underway.  A couple of trips to a few mega grocery stores later, they helped throw a really great and bountiful party for Noah – which was located deep in the park, on a mildly humid day, with a chance of rain.  Lucky for Kate, Noah, and me, Mindy was in town and could help us drag our contribution to the party up to the park.

It felt like everyone came to the party on a bike.

Tim did.

So did Lou.

Kate and I met at a party Michelle (left) was having.  I was dragged to this party by Tara (right).  They take full credit for Noah being around.
