Friends

Peter and Stanley keep Halima busy

Dancing

Over the last month, Stanley learned to dance. He takes after his grandfather Doug and loves dancing. Stanley picks up his feet and turns around a bit. And, if there is no music on the radio, it doesn't matter since he even sings his own music.

I have had a very hard time catching him dancing because he stops as soon as the camera comes out. But, tonight, I finally captured a bit of it by hiding behind the door frame.

 



If he hears music, his dancing feet come out quickly, even if it is just for the music interludes between news on our NPR station.

Working

I'm not feeling well, apparently Stanley wants to help me get my work done. This is what I saw when I came out of my room this morning.

Stanley it's OK you don't like Harvard, just keep in mind Brown
when applying to schools.

Leaves

Wow Mom look, these things fall off the trees here in New England.

Boston with Mommy

Stanley and I have had a great long weekend in Boston to see friends. It was kind of an impromptu trip and we left Steve to fend for himself after his trip to Florida. Steve is going to be happy to see little Stanley when we get home tomorrow--it has been more than a week!!

I was getting a bit nervous about the trip with Hurricane Sandy and Stanley screaming throughout many of the nights this past week. But, the trip has gone smoothly. We even got a spare seat next to us on the way out! And, the screaming has stopped as Stanley's front top right tooth cruised out today and the left one is just behind.

Here are a few pictures from our adventure with Betsy and Andrew.

Big shoes to fill Stanley

Hmm! Not who we were expecting in the crib

Alphabet soup

Stanley made some alphabet soup with Meera this morning. He also chose wisely to learn spelling from Meera rather than mama.
