A big update.

This Sunday there was a street fair along Seventh Avenue in our neighborhood. We met up with Allison and Geoffe who walked with us.

We also ran into Olexa, who we work with, and his wife Michelle. Their baby girl, Nina, was born just two days after Pearl!

We took a walk up to Prospect Park this week, and tried out my Baby Björn. I liked that Pearl was kept close, and Peal liked that I can play with her feet.

At the park, we saw some crews setting up for an outdoor Opera. Pearl enjoys spreading her toes while Mom and Daddy share a sandwich.

We also stopped by the home depot to get a new air conditioner. Pearl took a ride in a shopping cart!

What was left of Pearl's umbilical cord finally fell off this week, so we were able to give her a proper bath. She calmed down after a couple of minutes.

Mommy had a doctor's visit and Pearl was fussy. Daddy had to change a couple of diapers in the trunk of our car!

Daddy finally got her to calm down by walking her around outside. We popped into central park - see the skyscrapers in the background?

And here's a photo Grammy asked for, with Pearl in her Fancy Outfit!

Its been a busy week. Momma Tess is down from Hudson today and we're all four driving back up tomorrow for the weekend. It'll be nice to have some extra hands to rock Pearl to sleep!

Its Official!

The three of us are off to a fantastic first father's day for me! Both Jill and Pearl gave me sweet father's day cards! Also, I've got the official t-shirt to prove my worth. I think I'm going to wear this shirt out in no time! Jill also says we can get me the new iPhone 3G, so I'll always have a digital photo album with which to brag about Pearl.

We had our first meal at a restaurant with the new kid, and it went really well despite the rain. We ate our Bar Toto, one of our 'favorite local restaurants' just up the block from us. They have fantastic panini burgers, and Jill and I shared some wine. Well worth the wait for us both!


Little Pearl was an angel and was very quiet through the rain. She's napping now and we're enjoying a quiet afternoon.
Happy Fathers day to everyone!
