Happy Birthday Jake!

We had his party on Sunday but this minute is when he came into the world a year ago.

As to his twelfth month: we took our first walk across the George Washington Bridge; he now has 6 teeth; he’s getting the hang of walking (still holding onto furniture and people but toddles on his own with the help of his pushcart).

He saw his first movie, Wall-E, which he enjoyed quite a lot. We also took in Summer Streets, where the city closed Park Avenue and Lexington Avenue from 72nd Street all the way down to City Hall (though our camera battery died so we don’t have many pictures from that day). He also visited the Hamptons (see the previous post) and the Bronx Zoo (see the next post).

At the beginning of Jake’s 11th month, we took a trip to the Southampton to see our friend Nicolette. This was his first trip to the ocean, his first nap on a hammock (because what else does one do on a hammock), and his first sand-wich (made of real sand).

During Jake’s 10th month we took a trip to the Stormking Art Center, an outdoor space for large sculpture about an hour north of New York City.

Time to play catch-up before he turns one year old tomorrow.
