Dancing with Aaron

Cecilia will do anything if her cousins are doing it. In this case, it was line dancing, which was super cute. And a little impressive...

A Smile

Phillip is starting to smile every once in a while, mostly when I make disgusting silly baby noises and coo at him. Here's a rare video of one. You have to watch until the end to see it. :)

Wingaersheek Beach in June

This was one of the first beach days of the summer for us - we went to an old faithful, Wingaersheek Beach, about 45 minutes north of Boston. As usual, Cecilia had a blast there.

The first half of the trip was spent finding hermit crabs and building them a home. Then Cecilia climbed some huge rocks with Daddy. Then she chased us around with a water gun. Here is a composite video:



Yay for the beach!

Memorial Day Weekend in Philly

This is from a while ago, but in May, we had a reunion with my old medical school friends over Memorial Day weekend in Philadelphia. We stayed with Annemarie, who was amazing. With a 3.5 year old and a 6 month old, she cooked dinner for all of us, ranging from 8-14 people, for 3 nights!

Here are some highlights of the trip.

Meeting Sidney Swami for the first time:

Going to the Please Touch museum with Tony, Siu, and their two children, Allison and Andrew:



By the end of the weekend, Allison and Cecilia were playing really well together:



And the finale of the weekend, which was a big Memorial Day barbecue. Here's a pic of all the kids together, minus Sidney, who can't sit up yet:

Game Day

Of all the things my children have to be thankful for, I think the most important is that they were born fans of the New York football Giants.

Walks with Dad

I took Herc out on Saturday for his first time apart from Mommy. We had an exciting excursion to Rite Aid and Whole Foods! It's amazing to think that he had spent more than four weeks alive and had never been more than a room away from his mom, I guess that's why the child-mother relationship is so special.

He did great and seems to really like rolling around in the stroller and having a different view of things.I took him to Dana Park for a bit on Sunday and am looking forward to lots more adventures.
