Music Man

Max, my mom (Meme) and I went to music class together. He is showing real promise with the percussion instruments. Thanks to Meme for these great photos.

"You must be a model!"

Max takes the reins

There is a gorgeous, antique carousel on the Brooklyn waterfront. It was restored and encased in a glass pavilion from which there are wonderful views of the Manhattan skyline. Max loved it so much we'll make it a regular tradition. 

 

Just in case he felt too butch while commando crawling ...

Anticipating that Max would be crawling on a hardwood floor, Jeff bought him a pair of knee pads.  They are pink, have ruffles, and a bunny on each knee. Will he ever forgive us? At least his knees are grateful. 

Brunch in Dumbo

The highchair is buying us time to eat our pancakes before they get cold, and Max loves the view from Down Under the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridge (DUMBO)

Parenthood, a lesson in improvisational technique

Urban babies have to eat on the go! We are keeping this kid on a schedule; better than can be said of the MTA.
