Crawling

I finally figured it out!  Instead of just rocking back and forth in the same place, I need to put one hand in front of the other and let my knees follow.  I'm having a blast exploring now that I'm more mobile!

Not sure my mom's can keep up with me!

August

The last month of summer and my mom's wanted to pack in lots of things to do!  A trip to Fire Island to visit my Aunt Anna, Uncle Gabe and Cousin Meyer, A Glamping trip with Bubbie, Seattle for my Aunts Teriann and Jane's wedding, and lots of swinging, playing and swimming in between.  See for yourself!

 I loved the sand and the ocean!

p.s. Towards the end of the summer I was very curious about getting myself from Point A to Point B.  My mom's will show you how I resolved that in the next blog!

DC

I spent a wonderful long weekend in DC spending time with some very special people. 
Not only did I get to meet my Great Grandparents and spend some QT with all the exceptional someones who live in DC - I was so lucky that my cousin Meyer drove down from NY  and that my Bubbie, Grandpa David and Aunt Lucy drove up from Florida.

Some precious moments spent with Baba and Zeida, a delicious Shabbat Dinner prepared by Uncle Gabe and Aunt Anna, a terrific Shabbat day at my Elter Bubbies and a sweet lunch at Zeidey and GG's. 

I miss everyone already!

Current Curiosity: Swinging and playgrounds! I LOVE watching the big kids play.

Just another day at The Office

Last week we visited Scranton, PA! Ema had a very important project to take care of so mom and i decided to tag along for support. Scranton became known as the Electric City when electric lights were introduced at Dickson Locomotive Works in 1880. But probably better known for being home to a regional branch of Dunder Mifflin, the fictional paper company featured in the television series The Office. 

During the days we explored and sweated through different parts of the city- local big box chain stores (who knows - the stock may be slightly different), a couple of interesting parks and the amazing steamtrain museum. In the evenings we had dinner with the locals (Ema's colleagues) and were able to wind down by spending some quality time together.
