Picnic in the park & Baby Parade

The other day was great weather for a picnic, so Colin and I had our first one in the park. He was so good. He sat and finished his peanut butter and jelly sandwich and then got up to run around and play.

Hoboken has an annual baby parade. All the parents decorate strollers and dress up the babies. The Hoboken Museum organizes it all and gives out prizes for all sorts of things. We've lived in Hoboken for awhile and known that this goes on, but this was our first year attending (the 8th annual). I couldn't believe how into it these parents get! Really cute.

Just Colin

Just some recent pictures of Colin...

Busy Times!

We had a busy week and weekend 2 weeks ago. My friend Laura and her daughter Maddy came to visit from Boston. Maddy and Colin are about a week apart in age. Colin and I went into the city to visit with them one day and then Maddy and Laura came to Hoboken the next day. Even though they don't really pay attention to each other yet, they looked like they had a great time!

Happy Easter!

Today was Easter, Colin's first. Although he didn't understand anything about the holiday, he enjoyed opening his Easter basket and playing with the plastic eggs. We must have sat on the floor putting together plastic eggs so Colin could break them apart for at least 10 minutes. I know that doesn't sound like a long time, but it's an eternity for a toddler to sit (and to continuously put together plastic eggs!).

We were in New Jersey, just the 3 of us, so we spent a quiet day at home. Matt cooked brunch and then I worked on my paper....soon to be finished!

St. Patrick's Day - Hoboken

Two weekends ago was the St. Patrick's Day celebration in Hoboken. It was such a beautiful day we didn't even have to wear jackets! So, we took Colin to the park before the parade.

Snow Mobile Trip

Here are some pictures from Matt's trip. They were way up north in Pittsburg, NH, near the Canadian border.

Sunday Stroll

Colin enjoys his long walks, even in 30 degree weather.

We decided to get out at the park and see what good stuff there was to get into.

In the same park, there's a fenced off "dog park" for dogs to play, so we stopped to look at all the dogs!


Look! It's Caly's sister (or brother)!

These are just some pictures I took the other morning. These were pj's that Matt brought Colin back from his snow mobile trip a couple of weeks ago.
