Grandma comes to town...

Sloan got a special treat in the middle of April with Grandma came to look after her for a few days. I was on the road for some work travel (LA, to be specific) and Vanessa (our nanny) was enjoying a vacation in Japan. It was a great chance for Sloan and my mom to spend some time together.

Here are some pics from her trip to NYC...

There's a big world out there

Now let's go get it!

Big thank you to my mom for coming up for the week. It was great to have her in town and I know Sloan loved having her here.

My friend Erin lives downtown, so I asked her to capture these photos for me this morning. The left is of WTC 1 (aka Freedom Tower) before they put the spire on it. The right is as they were bolting it on. I bet there were people on the streets cheering as they walked to work. 

Adventures in warm weather with a baby

We are finally having consistently nice weather up here. It has taken forever, but High's are now averaging in the 60's daily. Today is a balmy 79, so Sloan and I headed outside during lunch.

We've figured out the best parks to go to for swings (Union Sq), lawns (Mad Sq), or playgrounds (Wash Sq). Pretty sure swinging is Sloan's second favorite thing besides thumb-sucking and general squirming.

Here are a few more swing pictures from the past few weeks -

Finally, a quick picture that our nanny Vanessa took of her after her first nanny play date:
