Smiles!

People are always taking picture of my brother smiling. It's weird how many pictures they take. But I guess he is pretty cute. And after last week, it's so nice to see him so happy and smiley again!

Zoo!

Yesterday, we went to the Bronx Zoo. This is my third zoo, after Brooklyn and Central Park and this one is AWESOME. It's so huge! Daddy didn't take many pictures but we have a few highlights.

 There's even a carousel there where you ride on little bugs. I chose a beetle.

 I let my brother wear my hat while he was eating.

This is a peacock I was hanging out with. I called him Man, as in "Hey man, come have some goldfish!" Then he ate all of them. I think probably at least 50. So greedy!

Skating!

Mama wanted me to learn how to roller skate, or at least give it a shot, and I said, OK! I'm always up for an adventure. Results were mixed.

 As a beginning strategy, I mostly held on to the rail.

 Then Mama held me up a lot. I bet she's really going to like this picture!

 And I fell, a LOT.  But things got better. Stay tuned for video.

 Afterwards, I played in this cool sprinkler park right next door.

And before bed I cuddled my baby bro.

No Excuses, Only Pics!

We're busy, we're tired. But you don't want excuses. You want pictures. We have some of those!

 Me and my little bro. I like to give him hugs every night before bed.

My little bro and Calvin, the kid with the awesome hair across the road from the Big House. He's only one month older than Nicky. How did he get all that hair?

 This kid's got smiles to burn. SO MANY SMILES.

Gettin' my art on with cousin Elodie.

 Nicky's first putt-putt experience. I had to be the ball boy because Mama couldn't bend over.

 Just slurping' some ramen, yo!

Catching some rays at Elka. Man that pool was cold!
