Columbus Day with the Doc

Anne came to see us from D.C. this weekend. It was so nice for Christopher to get to meet her. She's so great with babies from throwing them around in the hospital : ). We met up with Sarah on Sunday and got a great brunch.  Then we took the Subway up to Central Park. I had him in the carrier and it was so much easier than the stroller. I think we may start doing that more often. We decided we all had always wanted to take a carriage ride, so we took one around the park. Christopher had been sleeping all afternoon, but woke up just in time for the ride. This poor kid, every time he wakes up he's in a new crazy place. He looked a little confused when he realized he was being pulled by horses. It was fun to see so much of the park. We got to do some shopping for winter clothes while we were down there. We met up with Conan after he got off of work and got some pizza. Christopher had been so good all day, but I think he had a little too much stimulation. He threw a little fit on our way to the restaurant, so we took it to-go. The meal was so good. Anne and I went to the Farmer's Market at Union Square on Monday before she left and then ate Papaya Dogs. I've re-become a hot dog fan since moving here.

Christopher is learning all sorts of new tricks. He's learned how to imitate us. When we do a raspberry with our lips he'll do one back. He's also really close to rolling over. He can get all of the way on his stomach from his back, he just can't quite get the other arm out of the way. I can't wait to see what his next surprise for us will be.
