Koby, BMOC, and his cousins Chloe and Caroline

We went to CT for Chloe and Caroline's Christening this weekend. The girls were very well-behaved. Koby was a little rambunctious. He played with the girls, and with their dog, Mazie. Here's a short video of Koby with his cousins. During the entire time that Koby, Caroline and Chloe were sitting in the chair, Koby was snuggling them. This video shows him patting both shoulders. Earlier, he was kissing them! Quite a far cry from when he was "sweeping" Chloe and Caroline with Meme's broom just a few weeks ago.

what a week!!

This week really started with Saturday. That's the day that Koby and I took Septa to 30th Street Station and then Amtrak to New York Penn Station. It was a whole day of firsts, for both Koby and me: #1 Koby's first Septa train ride #2 Koby's first Amtrak train ride #3 Maani's first time using Red Cap service at 30th Street - did you know that escalator 7 only goes up? and that the elevators at 30th Street all need a key to operate? #4 Koby's first time nursing VERY publicly (the first seat on an Amtrak car where everyone sees you) #5 Koby's first escalator ride in a stroller - you try finding an elevator in Penn Station! #6 Koby's first time in NYC! so many people to look at, so little time! #6A including a huge ELMO, which we paid $1 to photograph. Aunt Julie, you've made us elmo-crazy! #7 Our first visit to Aunt Alexis's and Jake's apartment #8 the first time that Maani saw the most beautiful snowflake dangling in NYC.

We - finally - met Mark at 7 PM and drove to CT to visit with Mark's dad and step-mom, Grampy Jay and Missy. Koby was in jammies when they arrived from their dinner, but we stayed up to say hello. We had a fantastic time in CT - thanks Missy and Grampy Jay for everything... the delicious food, the warm kitchen sink bath, the company, and the love. We also visited with Jenny and John. We can't wait for Koby's little cousins to arrive, well, we can wait, we want them to be very healthy little ones :)

Koby came home with lots of presents, and a fever. He's sleeping now and on baby tylenol.

Here are some pictures from the week.
