Continental Flight!

After spending a few days in the hospital, the 11 hour flight to Honolulu was a piece of cake!  What a trooper Elodie was.  She entertained herself with all sorts of things (water bottles, sky mall catalogs, barf bags, chocolate wrappers and her brand new Foofa doll...) and she even slept for a few hours in this funny little bassinet they installed on the wall in front of our seats.  She got to practice her kayaking skills too - doesn't it look like she's in a boat? 

Sick Cub :(

We owe Elodie a Happy Valentine's Day...  This year we spent it at the ER :(  We debated posting this picture, but truth is, this was a big event in our life with Elodie so far.  And it's a reminder that every day isn't cute and happy (though it usually is!)  After two trips to the ER and two overnight stays, we are happy that Elodie recovered quick from her bout of RSV and pneumonia.  It was scary for us parents, but she was a trooper and did pretty awesome.  And we all got to recover in sunny Hawaii for a week afterwards so Thank You Lindsey & Jay for getting married!

Snow Park

It was unseasonably warm on Sunday so we went to play in the park!  D'oh!  It was still covered in snow!

Transit Museum

Who knew old trains could be so fun?  It was a rainy Saturday and we were all stir-crazy so we checked out the NYC Transit Museum conveniently located just a few blocks away...  Perfect place for some 10 month old exploring!

10 Months! Fat Lip!

Elodie turned 10 months old today!!!  It was a pretty monumental day for her.  She started the morning by taking her first few steps!  It was about 2-3 steps without holding on to anything.  She was quite proud of herself, but hasn't been as daring since.  We also  hosted a play date for 8 of her closest baby friends (see post below.)  And we ended the day with some rough-housing with Dad which resulted in Elodie's first fat lip!  She cried pretty hard when it happened but quickly forgot after an ice cube popsicle.  She's a big girl now!

Playdate at Elodie's!

Today Elodie and I hosted a play date!  It's the last one I will be able to host for a while since I have to go back to work full-time starting in March.  I plan on taking a few Friday afternoons off here and there so I can continue to meet up with my lovely new mom friends and their adorable babies.  I'll definitely miss seeing them every week!

Kiren's House

Last night we visited Kiren!  I haven't seen him in several months - he's such a big boy now.  He can walk and talk and do all sorts of big kid things.  And he's even cuter than ever.  Here are some pictures of me and Ki and the fun things we did at his house.
