Bibs are yummy!!!!

It can be really difficult feeding a baby when they want to explore everything!   Rowan's new obsession is her bib.  She would rather chomp away on her bib than eat food!  I do have to admit that it's really cute :D.

Easter

It was a fairly quiet Easter this year since it was just us and my mom and dad celebrating with us.  Mom went overboard with the Easter eggs again this year and Reese had a great time.  I don't think she realizes that next year she will have to share :-).

The first egg!

There were eggs all over our yard!

We had to empty out the basket so Reese could get more!

Rowie found her first egg!!!!

Rowie's not sure how she feels about grass...

...she has decided that she hates it!!!  (Look at those thighs!)

I love to pull my sister's hair!

OK, I'll be sweet

Ha!  Gotcha!

My chunky bunny

My gorgeous girl!

Reese wanted to pretend that she was asleep.  Why?  I'm still not sure.

She insisted that she run back inside and get her fan she got in China Town while visiting Ryan in NYC.

My cute bunny!

It will be interesting to see how it all goes next year!

New York City (Times Square, Central Park, China Town)

I was really excited for Reese to see Times Square because I knew she would be in total awe of all the lights.  The moment we got off the subway Reese could do nothing but stare with her mouth open.  She was so entranced that she kept stopping and staring at all of the lights.  David finally put her on his shoulders and she was able to look around all that she wanted.

The poor thing was so tired she couldn't even muster up a smile!

I knew that I wanted to take Reese into Toys R Us because they have this awesome Ferris Wheel.  I'm not sure who was more excited, David or Reese, when we got the Scooby Doo car. 




There was this huge Wonka candy section but I wasn't able to go in because the store was closing *sniff sniff*
We then headed to the M&Ms World store because I knew Reese would love that place as well.  It was PACKED!  It was around 11 PM and I just love how NYC is still hopping!

After we left the M&Ms store we went across the street to the Hershey store where Reese got a pillow with "her" name on it.  Both girls were pretty tired so we headed back to the train back to Ryan's apartment to call it a night.

The next morning we rode the Staton Island ferry so David and Reese could get a better look at the Statue of Liberty.  David kept saying he didn't expect the statue to be so small.  We definitely need to take a trip to Liberty Island so David can see her up close.  After we got back we headed to the subway to go to Dylan's Candy Bar....my FAVORITE place in NYC!!!  Unfortunately it was jam packed and you could barely walk around. :(  We still had fun picking out candy and just looking around. 

This was the only picture that I got of Reese in front of Dylan's.  I can't remember what exactly she was doing...I think being a robot.

After we finished at Dylan's mom wanted to see the gardens in Central Park.  I of course took the opportunity to take some pictures of my girls.  Sorry for the overload!

Fierce!

 I absolutely adore this picture! :-)

Our next stop was China Town as mom wanted to stop at a bakery called Baby Cakes, I wanted to buy some pashminas and David wanted to buy a fake Rolex.  *sigh*  Yes David wanted to fulfill his wish of being the ultimate tourist in NYC.  On the way to Baby Cakes we passed Zarin Fabrics, for those that watch Housewives you know that Jill is owner of this store.  Ryan actually wanted her picture taken in front of the store.

Look at Reese, heehee!

David got to fulfill his wish of getting "Folex".  He was so excited about his purchase and how he had to be sneaky, etc, etc.  It wasn't until later that he realized that 2 of the knobs don't even work, ha!  We had to leave the next morning (with a car service, no subway/bus/walking for me!) and it was sad to leave Ryan.  I look forward to making many more memories on our visits to her!

I will end with a video of my sweet baby girl crying in her sleep. The video is dark but if you listen closely you can hear her.  I wonder what she was dreaming about!

New York City (Central Park & Battery Park)

After we explored the zoo (what little there was) we decided to walk around Central Park.  I have visited the park a few times and it's such a beautiful place to walk around and relax.



Our first stop was ICE CREAM!
A rare picture of me and my girl
Reese picked this exact spot out for her picture...she insisted!
The Mall
We had to make a stop at the carousel.  I just noticed David's head peeping around Reese.
I think all of the rocks around the park was Reese's favorite thing.  She could have played on them for hours.

Ryan's apartment is a few blocks from Battery Park so we walked there to take a look at the Statue of Liberty.  We didn't actually go to Liberty Island but we did ride on the Stanton Island Ferry to get a closer look of the statue.  I've been before but David hasn't.  I'd like to go back and take Reese up close.  I think she would be amazed by how big it is.




A few rare pictures of me and Reese together

We then headed back to Ryan's apartment and headed to Times Square to see it at night!
