Weekend Fun

The weather warmed up a little so the three of us started back into New York tourist mode. The weekend before last we went to see the Statue of Liberty. We took the Staten Island ferry and got a great view. Little Guy could only make it to Staten Island and then needed to eat the rest of the way back. Just adding new spots to the list of "Places I nursed you in public" list.



When we were walking by Battery Park we noticed they had baby swings. We had been wanting to try Little Guy on the swings in our complex for a while, but it's been too cold. We figured it would be fun to have his very first time to swing be in Battery Park, so we gave it a try. He seemed to like it. I think we may have had more fun taking turns swinging him than he did actually swinging. I forgot how much fun the park is, especially after we'd been cooped up in our apartment all winter. 

These are our Valentine's Day pictures (I know they're a little late). We got him one of those toys that you put the different shaped blocks through the matching holes on the top. Christopher outsmarted us on this one. He just took the top off and started putting the blocks inside without having to match them up. Every time I try to put the lid on and show him how to do it he took it off, like "Mom, you are making this too hard on yourself?" He likes to bang the blocks around, so I think the toy was a success. His very favorite things to play with right now are the tiny specks of dirt on the ground that I did a bad job sweeping. Gross.
And... these are just some cute pictures of him playing with his football. He's a natural. I wonder where he got that from?
