spring!

spring has thankfully arrived! yippee! it turns out new york does spring splendidly, especially our neighborhood of battery park city.

we've enjoyed lots of walks in the warm weather and also visited the park.

really likes watching the tree limbs blow in the wind.

4 months

william had his 4 month check up today. he continues to grow well, now at 13 lb 5 oz and 25 inches.

he also loves his zebra.

tummy time

we practice tummy time everyday. william is slowly beginning to enjoy positions other than his back. he's even consistently rolling over now.

he also recently has discovered that his lower lip is tasty.

here's footage of the first time he rolled over at 2 1/2 months. grandma shafer taught him this trick.

water

we recently had to return to boston to wrap up work. (i'm officially a full time mom now.) as a result we stayed in a fancy hotel with pool and hot tub. william loves his bath so we were excited to introduce him to lots more water.

his swimsuit is too big, but hopefully should fit by summertime.

he also got to shower with dad to get the pool chlorine off. he sure loves water.

our backyard

living in new york we of course are in an apartment building. however, we are fortunate the statue of liberty is in our backyard. here's a family picture from a chilly sunday stroll around our neighborhood.
