Fall in Central Park

Days like these make me love living in New York City

Not his halloween costume . . .

this is his winter snow suit from Kendra. My little bear.

5 months old today!!!

Our son, the cab driver.

"Creative Play Class"

We went to our creative play class today. It's a little crunchy granola, gag me , gag me but he loves it. He "learned" all about the saxaphone, bubbles and scarves. He had a great time.

Shakers and noise makers are his favorite

Cool Cat Finn

Bubbles - woo hoo

So tired at the end of class

He's sitting and . . .

PT loves him.

My friend Kendra took some great shots of Finn when we were in L.A.

The Swings

I took Finn to a playground. There was an infant swing, that was just, silly. He was sliding sideways in it. I moved him over the the regular baby swing and he loved it. Who knew he was even big enough?

At the therapists office

Finn rolled off the couch this morning. I cried more than he did. Scared the hell out of me as I'm sure it did him. He was none the worse for wear - but man, when they say don't take your eyes off of them for a a second, they ain't kidding! My first big screw up. Yikes!

So this is what I now envision.

So Doc, I need to discuss my parents. Seriously.

Rodeo Drive = Krista's heaven . . . but wait

Can I just say. I loved Rodeo Drive almost more than life itself. And not for the reason most people love Rodeo Drive. I could care less about jewels or clothes or any of that BS. However, the PEOPLE. Oh my God, the people. They were out of Central Casting. The agent screaming on his cell phone and turning around to stare at the ass of the three trophy wives passing by. The two Euro-trash guys sitting at an outdoor table smoking 100 cigarettes and on their 4th bottle of wine. The rich, rich, rich teenagers who think they are God's gift to the world, the woman with the tannest, longest most perfect legs standing in the doorway of Versace. The gaudy ass yellow car parked in front of Cartier. I asked Todd for a chair and some popcorn and to pick me up in a week.

Fish & Chips . . . I mean Beach . . .

He LOVED this fish tank in California. I have a feeling Finding Nemo is in our future. Then we took him to his first trip to the beach. Notice our appropriate beach attire, including lack of sun hat for the child. Whoops. But in my defense he has the biggest head known to man, er baby, and no hat I had fit him.

Grandma Ger Ger

Finn met Todd's mom and brother in California this week. Todd and I flew out on Tuesday. All went well and he was on his best behavior. Finn did well too (ba dum bum).

Bumper?

I don't know. Time for a bumper in the crib maybe?

He rolls over ( . . .and puts things on his head)

So if you give Finn any blanket or piece of clothing he immediately puts it over his head, and then promptly panics.

And now he's rolling.

Both of these things are demonstrated in the below video.

Little Todd Robbins

I tried the suit on Finn that I bought when I was a mere three months pregnant. Todd tried to straighten his tie but Finn was WAY over it at that point. But cute, right? His father's son.

Seven Year No Itch

It was our anniversary on Wednesday. We took the ferry in to Hoboken. We went to an OLD school Italian restaurant and then had dessert crepes on the river. It was a lovely evening that Finn slept through.

BELLY LAUGH!!!!

Finn had his first big belly laugh today and it was absolutely amazing! It was so random and I was just playing and not particularly trying to make him laugh. All of a sudden he let out this huge laugh. I said to to Todd "did you hear that?" Todd grabbed my camera and of course he was no longer interested in laughing. We captured a little bit of it though.

What an amazing thing to hear.

Here's the video;

Not your normal baby music

But if my husband had his way . . . . .

Finn and Mommy (and Mommy's redo haircut)

Peter and the Wolf

So I got Finn dressed today and said to Todd . . . "why is Finn making me think of my parents right now?" Todd pointed to a picture we had taped to the fridge and said, "Is this why?"

* And just a side note, when I was walking home from work, I saw Todd and Finn on the street and all three of us were wearing red shirts. We looked insane. We looked as if we were about to burst into song or invite you into our cult. I'm just sayin'.

Oh my God. I have feet!!!

He loves his feet more than any toy babiesrus could ever sell. He's trying SO hard to get his toes into his mouth and is super annoyed when he has pants on.

Are you my camera?

Damn it. I can't find my camera. That's why we're so quiet on the blog these days. I can maybe sketch some picures but Finn would probably do a better job than me.

He's cute. That's my update. I mean really cute. Seriously.
