A Day Full Of NYC Fun!!!

The next day Blake and I headed to the Children's Museum, it was a blast!

 The had a whole Curious George section or "georg" as bub says.

 And a Diego section, Blake calls him "gogo"

 Trying to steal one of Diego's panthers.

 He loved this instrument in Dora's house

 Hey look I was actually on this trip ;)

 We spent quite a bit of time feeding this croc letters, so long in fact Mommy got to sit for a minute.

 After all the fun at the children's museum we headed to Central Park to meet Mommy and Sister, hey there I am again!

 We found a playground in Central Park

 Next we met Daddy and Guy for pizza and more toy store fun (Disney store and Toys R Us in Times Square.) Blake loves loves loves pizza, he calls it "pidapida" and so he was happy to eat some more real New York style pizza.

 And Guy loves Blakey!

 Heading to the shops

This picture cracks me up, my boys both with their Red Sox hats, both looking at me like "seriously another picture"

The Big Apple (you'll see).....

Get it??? Okay okay I'm a dweeb onto the good stuff. While in the city we got to see Daddy just about everyday even though he was there for business he made time for us. Blake is very into apples but only if he can eat them like this. I couldn't resist these pictures of my baby eating a big apple in the Big Apple.

 Krayton, Blake and I had lunch at this place called Bills Burgers and Bar (I think) which is right near Rockefeller center and as we walked we noticed it was packed and with mostly men, if you are a single lady in the city that's where you should go ;) anyway I had the most amazing strawberry shake.

 Then we made our way to FAO Schwartz

 Of course he found the Toy Story section

 And Daddy found a chair in my favorite area, the Barefoot Book section.

 Uh Buddy no sneaking candy, especially red!

 Baby loves books as much as Mama.

 One night Mom, Rachael, Blake and I went to Brassiere (spelling) a fancy french place, and here was Blake's setup an ipad, a water, and some fancy real french fries, he was a happy camper for sure.

 That same night we went to meet Daddy who was with Patrick.  Patrick let Blakey play in his "beep beep" and that made Patrick a fast friend to the boy.

Boys!

More to come

Big City, Big Baby!!!

That's right I took a toddler to New York City, not only that but on a plane no less! An adventure is what I told myself and an adventure it was. Krayton had a long business trip planned and it ended in NYC and then my Mom and Sister planned a trip to scope things out for Rachael's big move, and so when the husband said "you should go too" I thought what the heck. And so I kid you not 800 pictures later here we are blog post time...... 

 This is how bub liked to travel around the airport.

 Baby's first plane rides...

 All ready with his backpack and Buzz of course. He was such a good little traveler never cried once throughout four flights and slept on both of the long flights (thank goodness.) I had snacks and new toys and ipads and everything and that helped but nothing helps like cuddles with your momma and I broke the no daytime nursing rule for the plane rides since it is suppose to help their ears.

 We went to Little Italy the first night for dinner and Bub throughly enjoyed his pizza.

 The next day we headed to Central Park Zoo, my favorite place in the city.

 The polar bear was awesome and huge.

 Blake is very into vanilla milk from Starbucks and immediately goes to get himself one as soon as we walk in one (and yes that's quite often) Momma has to treat herself to an tall iced skinny decaf caramel macciato.

 His hair is growing wild and curly

 Whats more fun that chasing pigeons on NYC

 Off to the childrens zoo in central park

 Bunny hugs

 Oh boy, this was the best part of the day, the feeding/petting area. Blake loved loved loved it and many pictures follow because the happiness in his face is palpable!

 On the way out of the park I couldn't resist getting a street portrait done of our beautiful boy.

 After that we went shopping of course, and bub took a nap amongst all the city crazy.

 But woke up in time for the FDNY store and if you know our family you know why this was special to us and why the vision of Blake behind the wheel of a real fire truck left my mom sobbing, and oddly enough left my baby saying "bubba" for the first time.

 Notice the sweatshirt, um yes it got chilly.

 Can you guess what he was pointing at in Times Square......?

Disney store of course!

TO BE CONTINUED AND CONTINUED AND CONTINUED!!!!
