I made it 1 year!

So yesterday was officially my first birthday! I had so much fun. Mom and dad took me to the Bronx Zoo where my nanny Kym and manny Carsten both came to meet us for the day. Kym's friend Matt and Carsten's girlfriend Ijfke came too! We saw giraffes, bears, tigers, leopards, lots of birds, snakes, a crocodile and monkeys! Mom got me a super soft polar bear at the gift shop. I also received a wooden chair with painted animals, a teddy that plays peek-a-boo, and a blue dress and new tights from Meme. Our neighbors gave me another super soft pink teddy. Three bears in all! Aunt Jenn and Asian Grandma also have gifts in the mail. Mom baked me a lovely strawberry cake with fresh strawberries and cream cheese icing. Dad wanted me to destroy it for fun but I didn't really feel like getting my fingers dirty. Haha, maybe next year :)

Doctor's visit

I went back to see Dr. Ramon Murphy last week at Uptown Pediatrics for my 1 month check up. He was the original doctor who saw me in the hospital and was referred to us by the obstetrician who delivered me, Dr. Gila Leiter. Mom and dad took me to a pediatrician in Yonkers for my post hospital check up and we didn't like the doctor at all. We think Dr. Murphy is just the best, nicest and most knowledgeable.  We also love his soothing voice. Anyhow, everything looks wonderful. I'm now 8 lbs. 14 ounces and 21 inches in length (which Dr. Murphy said was tall!). No immunizations until next visit. Yippee!

Flying fine

This is my first cross Atlantic flight! Finally got a stamp on my passport. They had plenty of pillows and blankets for us on Continental so I slept the whole way to Madrid!

Learning time, play time

So, I have pretty much claimed the living room as my personal play room. There are 4 toy boxes, my ferris wheel, my walker and my tummy time blankets. Mom put the sofa pillows everywhere to cushion the hard surfaces and to block me from crawling behind the chairs. Dad put the carpet down so the floor is softer now too. There is a gate to the room, so I can't go to the dining room or kitchen whenever I want. But I like it in here anyway. I like to take naps in my rocker in front of the TV. And if course this is where I watch my favorite show Super Why and my Learn to Read DVDs. Here's a photo of me already reading and one of me watching my show!
