Little Man's 1st Carousel Ride

We had lunch with Aunt K and Uncle S with Sunshine and Rae at the mall. Little Man was eyeing the white tiger, so we had to jump on him and go for a ride. While we purchased a token like our fellow kidlets, the carousel conductor would not let us pay. Yeah for being a kid!

Jeremy’s Birthday and Belated Chanukkah

Pablo and I really enjoy spending the Xmas break with our Floridian family and in true Weintraub fashion, there was a fabulous feast for Jeremy’s birthday this year. Turkey, all the acoutraments and without a doubt – dessert! This year, white chocolate bread pudding was the birthday boys request and kudos to him for requesting – because this white chocolate bread pudding was delicish! We also whipped up Apple Cake and Carrot Cake for Grammie K.  Little Man was too cute with his Birthday hat on!

I discovered the week before that Jillian and Jesse love rainbow cookies. My Mama always told me that the best rainbow cookies come from Continental Cookies in New Jersey. So that Sunday, I ordered 2 lbs of cookies for the official taste test. They arrived just in time for our birthday boys dinner. Yes, Mom – they kicked butt and I’m sorry I didn’t bring any home…the pregnant lady wouldn’t let me.

Little Man and I cuddling.

Little Man was often more fascinated with the paper and bows than he was with any gifts.  I must say that at least he has good taste – Watch out Tory Burch, Little Man’s got your calling card!

The Weintraub men and their matching polos. So sophisiticated.

A day at the park

Cousin Nico took his 1st steps when we were in town for Thanksgiving and now he's become a pro walker, even has a pair of schnazzy new Stride Rite shoes! I love this photo Auntie J took, looks like he's running from the dinosaur.

Better snap these gummy smiles while we can, 1st tooth is starting to poke out! 

As my mom would say, Pablo, Aunite J and I were kvelling..."exteremely proud" (Yiddish) to see the boys playing together.

Look at this tush! I love the contrast of greens in this picture! 

"Hey Cuz, where are you?"

Oh, there you are!

 
 Hiding underneath the spinning wheels!

Lunch with Bubbie Ruth

On our way to visit with our Coconut Grove cousin, we stopped to give some Little Man love to Bubbie Ruth. She took us to Lester's Diner, where Popi used to go.

Don't you just love this smile? I want to eat him up!

On the road again...

First Tooth

Two days short of his nine month birthday, Little Man is welcoming his 1st tooth! It's starting to poke thru the gyms and there's a small white chicklet in his lower jaw. I can't quite recall what letter it is in the childrens dental chart, but if it was an adult tooth, it would be #26, a lower incisor.
He's not wanted to nap much, but once he falls asleep for bedtime, he's out all night. Mom and Dad certainly appreciate that, especially since being in Florida, he's been really excited about showing off his climbing skills and perfecting his speed crawling.

Hanging with my Cousins

Little Man enjoyed a festive Hanukkah with his Cousins in Florida. This picture was snapped by his Cousin  Ra Ra, Joe and Iz.

A View

Little Man's been a little under the weather. So what do we do? We take him to breathe in the salty ocean air from Worth Avenue. What a lucky guy.

Cousin Nico's 1st Birthday!

We joined our cousins in Coconut Grove to celebrate cousin Nico's 1st birthday. Last year this time, I was 6 months pregnant with Little Man.  My how time flies! Aunt J and J had a clown visit and play parachute. Little Man and Dad are having fun watching the bean bag fly off the parachute. Just like Gymboree class! 

The theme of the party? Yep, Curious George and there was plenty of little monkeys around to join in the fun.  This cake was oreo cookie and vanilla cake inside.

 Delicious Curious George cupcakes.

 Cousin Nico just about to break into his own personal cake...
And, we're in! Icing is a big hit!

"I bet you can't tell, but I'm really excited to fly to see my Florida relatives!"

Helping Daddy

Little Man was helping Daddy hang shades today. What a big helper!

And then of course, he was intrigued by the camera.... 

Chanukkah with the Fam

It’s our third year of hosting Chanukkah with our family and we were so excited to have the extra room this year in our new home.  

Aunt Rose flew in from Texas for the week and spent time loving on all the kidlets. We had fund opening presents and feasting on Turkey and Latkes. The kiddos even made sugar cookies. Next time, we’ll cookie the cookies and let them get high on sugar from decorating them.

Chanukkah with BeBe

We celebrated the 1st night of Chanukkah with Bebe, feasting on latkes and croissant turkey sandwiches. I know….not your typical Chanukkah dinner, but we enjoyed it and Little Man loved the latkes with applesauce!

We lit the menorah….We laid out Little Man’s presents…And, yes! It was a big hit!

Little Man Putin’ on the Green

Yeah, it’s a play on Sinatra’s “Puttin’ on the Ritz,” but can you blame us? Look at this shaina punim? After a dip in the pool, we came back to the house and went out the green where there a beautiful sunset in the distance. Little Man enjoyed the soft feel of the cushy grass beneath him. What a handsome little boy!
