New Trick!

Hey, look: Nicky's got a new trick. He sits up! Super cute, right? Can someone get this kid an agent to help us save for college?

More Piano!

I forgot -- there's footage! Enjoy my skillz.

Piano!

Nicky here. Charlie let me use his piano and it is AWESOME. We had to lower it a little but I try to get in a few minutes of jamming every day now.

School!

Oh finally, a picture of just me. This was taken last week, before I got my haircut. Here I am, just hanging out at the subway station waiting for my train to school. La di da!

What up, friends

Been a while since I've been actively blogging! The whole family has been pretty sick, so that's our excuse. Anyway, let's see, what's been happening.

First of all, my bedroom changed up a lot. I got a cool new toddler bed, a new play kitchen, and some new rugs and art. My old bed is now a crib again for Nicky to sleep in, which he does for about 2 hours at night before he cries and magically disappears somewhere. I also got a mini pumpkin. 

See? This is my cool mini pumpkin. I drew all over it with marker because drawing is my new favorite activity. I like to draw pictures of the whole family, and also picture of rollercoasters. 

This is Nicky wearing his pumpkin hat and looking cute in the backseat. I think mama took this picture because she wanted to see if he was sleeping or not, since he faces backward. Clearly she got her answer. WIDE AWAKE. 

Oh, hello. This is Nicky being cute again, chewing on his fingers. Doesn't Daddy look really well rested in the background? It's not like he's thinking, "Why won't this kid sleep more than two hours" or anything. 

Nicky likes to not only chew on his own hands, but also other people's noses! Here he is trying to eat Alma's face. (Alma had her baby, by the way!) 

This is Nicky cuddling up with Mom at a restaurant in Saugerties, on the way to the big house. She got him to sleep like this. He's never done that for anyone else! Especially not me, but I prefer to yell in his face and give him bear hugs than rock him gently. 

Hey, why are all these pictures of Nicky?? I get it, he's super cute and all, but what about ME? 

Coney Island!

Yesterday was another beautiful fall day in New York, so we decided to go to Coney Island. I guess I was there when I was a baby but I don't remember it. We had the best time and I told Mama that it was maybe the best place I've ever been. Definitely top 5!

 Still too young for rides. But soon!

 Guess who won this game? THIS GUY! I got a cool little dinosaur as a prize.

 I'm not sure if you can tell by my expression here but this was the one ride I didn't love. It was kind of scary.

 This one, though, was THE BEST.

 Checking out the giant kites.

Aunt Jenny!

I'm lucky to have two Aunties in town, and it's fun to see so much of Steph and Claire these days. But I don't see nearly enough of Jenny or Mary. This weekend, Jenny made an unexpected visit and came to see me and my brother on Saturday. That's also the day Daddy got back from his trip and so we were all very happy to have the band back together again.
