Table for One, Please

This post goes out to Annie and Silas for their supreme inspiration... We are officially done with the baby gear for the long moment. The great restaraunt quality highchair idea was from the West Coast Dreyers. This chair was not even reviewed in my amazing baby gear book I suspect because it is not padded or something most people would consider for their homes. But I have to tell you it is amazing. The tray is giant and it is super sturdy - it doubles as a kind of jungle gym right now as she is pulling herself up onto everything. I cannot wait for the summer so I can just wheel it onto the back porch and hose it down. She seems to dig it of course it could just be the blueberries she digs.

I love the bah-bo-bah-bo-bah sound she is making with her slippery fist in her mouth these days. It is something I loved about Silas when he was 9 cute months old and visiting back in July.

Strolling Minetta

Here we are walking down our block in the city with our new city stroller which was many dollars but promises to be able to handle all the city strolling miles we will be racking up in the next few years.

It's All Happening

Whew. Figured out the blog - it's a start. The header pic is one of some mourning doves in our pear tree last February. So, the milestones are!: I guess Finley must have been hummming "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth" because that's what she got. The two bottom teeth are out! If you look closely you can see them.
She also drinks from her own cup by herself,
THEN she gets that leap frog, up dog/ down dog thing together and actually takes her first bonifide crawl yesterday! I immediately felt a little weepy.

She's off and as Gracie says "it's ON like Donkey Kong." To prove my point - this is what happened while I was fixing the blog. She crossed the room in two seconds and....

ARrgh.

I can't change the friggin blog colors!!! I've been blogging for awhile now and have done it several times, but it won't work now! Emailing blogger tomorrow - I hate feeling so bland and white-bread!

You're Driving Away?

We were at an old friend of Craig and Matt's, Dave Hamburger - and he pulled out this video to share... It's a WAY inside joke that now include's Matt's kids, so here you go guys - yuck it up!

Happy 2008!

Craig played the Tribeca Grill, I got dressed up and we had our first official night out without the baby. She was in the loving hands of Pops and Lisa and had a great time. She even woke up to watch the ball drop on T.V. It's going to be hard to top 2007 for me, personally.... although I plan to have as much fun as I can trying!
