New York, New York!

We finally took the boy to the biiiiig city. He enjoyed the plane (or rather all the nice young women he could flirt with)- and he napped enough that I watched a movie! Win for all.

He went to Zabar's! A life long dream for him.

He went to The Feast of San Gennaro! (Pretend you like to see our faces too)

He hung out with baby friends! 

And cousins!

Also he took so many pictures he started smiling for the camera :)

 And he took a train!

Good times- if whirlwind times- had by all. 

Heyyyyy...

So three weeks ago this dude was 7 months! He celebrated by lying down on the job and pulling very innocent faces

Besides the fact that he thinks sleep is for jerks and should only be done while snuggling (which us cute up to a point....) this kiddo is a ton of smiley, giggling, tickle-loving fun. With teeth! At 7 months he had the bottom two and was working on his top (adorably gappy) ones- he now has 6! 

Ari strikes a pose

Sometimes a baby likes to strike a pose...

Or pretend he is being eaten by aliens

Or says.....who? Meeeeee? Nooooooo.

Sometimes....Ari feels pretty emo in the morning

What's that you say? More blogs?

ON IT.

Here is my baby looking perplexed and slightly hostile towards a banana. You are welcome internet. 

It has come to my attention...

That my child continues to age. While I protest this progress, I will update you I suppose....

We will work backwards. Here he is yesterday rocking his Kaep jersey for his first 9ers game of the year. He tells me he does not recall being alive for their playoff loss last year as he was too busy being four days old and holding his pee for 12 hours at a time.
