Weekend Adventures

Last weekend, with the triple digit weather, we camped inside the apartment (with the exception of Ko) with the A/C on full force. We were very lucky to have Annie, Brice and Wilson come visit. Al and I felt that Izzie has finally grown out of her Fisher Price Aquarium Swing (bye bye magical swing), so we were more than happy to pass the swing on to Miles for (hopefully) many sleep-full nights for the Wilson family. Annie and Brice insisted that they get Izzie a jumperoo in return and we happily obliged. Anyway, Annie and Brice took Miles, the car seat, the Snap n Go to Buy Buy Baby. They bought the jumperoo, and brought the jumperoo, Miles, the car seat,m the Snap n Go and made the trek all the way up to Boringside Heights. Aren't they amazing? And on the way back, they took our swing, and the rest of their cargo and Miles and took the bus back home! Did I mention we were experiencing a heat wave at the time?


The obligatory side-by-side picture. Miles is catching up! Look at the thigh rolls that he's developing!


Hello friend!


Al and I were afraid that Izzie was going to whack Miles with her flailing arms, but she was surprisingly gentle.

Izzie likes her jumperoo! She doesn't quite get the concept of jumping yet, but she sure likes to play and talk to her toys:




So yesterday, inspired by the Wilson's family bravery, Al and I decided to take Izzie and stroller on the subway for the first time. We usually just wear her in our Ergo, but we wanted to get some errands done, so we decided walking with the stroller would be best. Right before we left, I told Al to take the rain shield out of the stroller basket so that we had room to put in all of our goodies. We walk to the station, get on the 1 train, and we're doing well. I'm getting cocky and thinking "This is easy!" We get off on 79th street, and it is thunderstorming! I can hear the thunder from underground! After 10 minutes of waiting around (remember? stroller rain shield at home), we decide to go back home. I don't want to get out of the subway and cross the street to go uptown, so we get back on the downtown train to 59th street and then took a different express subway back home. Of course, by the time, we got back the rain had stopped (briefly), so we were able to walk home quickly. We didn't get what we wanted done, but it was nevertheless quite the eventful day!
