Number 18 Guy

Here's a quick story...
Conan always tells Chris he's his #1 guy. Chris has developed quite the sense of humor recently (I actually think he's always had it, he's just more verbal now). So he now tells Dad that he's his #18 guy, and laughs super hard. Today we decided to figure out who was taking up these spots before 18. Here's the list...

1. Christopher
2. Ava
3. Ava's mom
4. Ava's dad
5. Shoe that's all messed up (the shoelace broke on it).
6. Other shoe
7. Mom's jacket

He was laughing so hard by the time he got to seven he couldn't name anymore. You know you're our #1 Guy, Dad!

Week with my parents

My parents were in town in September. The weather was perfect and I think we fit in just about everything you can do in NYC during their visit. We went to a really fun bookstore called Books of Wonder. It's all kid's books and they were happy to let Chris try them out before we bought them. My mom got Chris a Curious George Book and it's still his favorite.

Here's our group shot at the playground. Look at us in short sleeves. I miss September weather!
Sliding!
We went downtown and saw the Statue of Liberty. Here's Chris doing his cute face for Ga Ga.
Conan gave us the Wall Street tour.
The bull! There are about a thousand people around the bull at all times, so it was nice to get this picture.
Here we are at Central Park. We went up to the castle there. Such a great view!
We went to Coney Island also. It was such a nice day on the board walk!
My dad rode rides with the LG. My dad spun him super fast on the hot air balloons, and they both had so much fun!

Chris loved the fire trucks!
Here he is on the airplanes. He's such a big kid, riding all by himself!


We walked around in the water.
And then in the sand.
Then we went to Nathan's and got corndogs!When the LG went back for a nap with Conan my parents and I went to the Empire State building.
Later in the week we went to the 42nd Street NY Public Library. These are the library lions. Chris found the turtles at the bottom of the statue, who knew? He was so excited! Now that Chris loves turtles so much, we've found that they are everywhere!
Speaking of turtles, here's Chris and Gaga at the Chelsea Merry-go-round, on the turtle of course!
We had so much fun with Gaga and Bob!
