Bklyn to Maine

2013

Yesterday was an action packed day, beginning with one of Axel's little friend's 2nd birthday party at the Brooklyn Navy Yard (how incredible is that invite and igloo? Axel was in heaven...), a baby shower near the South Street Seaport, and a long, snowy, icy drive to Maine for the holidays.

We're excited to be in the countryside for a week, even though it's something like 15 degrees out there. Trying to come up with indoor activities for a certain wildly energetic 15 month old.

Lately

Fall, 2013

We spent the weekend in Massachusetts, near Rockport, for my cousin's baby shower. About 9 out of 12 people at the shower were pregnant (something in the air?)

Since then, I've been adjusting back to life in Brooklyn and making the most of the gorgeous fall weather.

And, Axel is walking! He's taken one or two steps for a few weeks now, but on Monday night he walked from the middle of the living room to the coffee table and last night about halfway across our lobby hall. A few bumps, but mainly he seems to have the hang of it.

More news this afternoon!

Registry Fun

Plan Toys via MiniLuu

Love, love, love that Miniluu's online boutique and registry is now open. It's kind of tough to find beautiful, classic wooden toys and clean-lined baby products, but Brooklyn mom Kristin at Bon Bon Mini has done a great job (and she just announced she's in labor!) Sending good vibes her way. I love the idea of supporting a local business so I hope you will check out her lovely wares.

I've also been having a fine time setting up little registries at Giggle and now Miniluu. It may be a little early to start thinking about all of that, but it's fun be able to picture a little pile of blocks in the corner of our living room or a non-scary high chair at the dining table. To quote one of my favorite lines in Bridesmaids..."This is happening..."
