The Bronx Zoo

Z was off today to take Max for his yearly blood work, so we decided to get Sasha early from school and go to the Bronx Zoo!

 Max's first taste of ice cream. I'm pretty sure he liked it ;)

Playtime!

13 months old

 Our little guy is 13 months old today. He's such a silly, funny dude. He's always happy and is always smiling and flirting with everybody around. He's still not walking (or even standing by himself), but he crawls so fast, that I figure he doesn't *need* to learn to walk. I'm not too worried, he'll get it eventually. He's finally starting to point at things and wave at people. He's got 6 teeth and 2 more coming through. His hair is getting so light, just like his sister's. Speaking of his sister, he just adores her; and she loves playing with him. And stealing his toys. Which he, surprisingly, doesn't mind, he just crawls over to another toy and plays with it. He loves reading books and will repeat "chitai" ("read") over and over until you read him the book he's handing you.

Fun at the playgroun

Since the weather has been (finally) getting nice, we've been going to the playground a lot. And the kids are so happy to be there!

We love to go with friends when we get a chance

Grandparents

We spent some time with my parents this weekend, when we were in Brooklyn visiting Z's grandma in the hospital.

How sweet are they?
