Daddy's Little Helper

Theo decides to pitch in and do some chores! Who was I to say no?

Chilly Monring in the Playground

We took Theo out for a trip to the playground on this crisp November morning.

All photos from the morning are here.

Everybody Loves Theo

Having some fun playing with the movie settings on our camera. This could be Theo's sitcom opening.

The Shiloh Phone

Theo Takes the Botanical Garden

Theo and Daddy tore it up one afternoon at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

Pac Man Fever

There's a special moment in every father-son relationship. It's the day a dad gets to introduce his boy to the Class of 1981 Table-Top Ms. Pac Man / Galaga game console.

I'm.....so proud.

Harvest Fest

Went up to Stone Barns a few weeks ago for Harvest Fest. Theo tapped into his inner farmer.

Sunday in the Park with Theo

Last Sunday we had a great day in Prospect Park with friends. Our pal Marcele creates stunning photogrpahy with her iPhone (she maintains a few blogs of her work that you should check out).

Here are some of her shots from that day.

Theodore is Walking on Sunshine!

Theo's First Steps

This speaks for itself. We're overjoyed!

Theo's First Haircut

Well, it had to happen sooner or later. Last week Theodore had his first ever haircut! He got to sit in a red car and blow bubbles while Gina worked the fastest scissors in Brooklyn.

Our little boy is all grown up. Welcome to the haircut club, Theo!

Right before the chop.

Gina works her magic.

Handsome man!

Caption Contest

We've been loving this photo of Theodore, imagining all sorts of things he might be saying in this moment.

What do you think he's saying? Post below in the comments. Winning caption gets bragging rights and a huge kiss from Theo the next time you see him!

North Carolina Trip

We took a trip down south to North Carolina for Julie's wedding and an extended beach vacation with the Plattsenheimer crew.

Needless to say, hilarity ensued.

Just sittin' here mindin' my own business...

Peek-a-boo!

Pure joy.

Mind the gap (between the teeth, that is)

"So I says Mable, I says"

Peek-a-boo two!

First in flight (that day).

Speaking of, Amanda treated me to a hang gliding adventure as an early birthday present!

Happy First Birthday!

Theodore celebrated his first birthday on June 11! No first birthday would be complete without a messy cupcake and some music. Joy!

Comin' at you from the Left

Don't look now. Boom!

"He Loves It"

Shiloh pushes cousin Theo around Moomer's driveway.

Theo gets on his soapbox and gets a few things off his chest.

Theo goes through his challenging obstacle course.

Memorial Day at Storm King

We spent Memorial Day with the cousins up at Storm King.




Aunt Sis had an old helmet that fit just right on Theo's head.


Uncle Dr. Ascot & Aunt Sis were celebrating their anniversary. Cousin T-Bird recreated the bubbles from their wedding.


If you'd like to see the whole batch take a look here. There's roughly 1 million photos of Theo sitting in the grass.

Bravo Italia!

Molto Bene Theodore!

Shi & Theo

Shiloh & Theo. Those Plattsenheimer genes are strong.

Where on Earth is Aunt Sis?

And how about that jaunty cap huh?

Frequent Flyer

Theodore was back flying the friendly skies last week as we made a trip to Dallas/Fort Worth for a wedding.

I came back from the restroom to find this happy guy in my seat!

The High Line

This week we took a trip to The High Line, which is "a public park built on a 1.45-mile-long elevated rail structure running from Gansevoort Street to 34th Street on Manhattan's West Side."

We had heard great things, and on Matt's last day of spring break, we decided to make the trip.

Amanda noticed that a few of the lounge chairs were built from stacked wood and have wheels that operate on a track. The train-track motif was repeated tastefully along the walk.

Detail of the mobile lounge chair.

The Standard Hotel is situated right above the southern stretch of the High Line. If you look closely you can see Theo and Mommy on that bench.

We can dig it.

There were all sorts of excellent design elements as we walked along the path. These colored windows were in an underpass as we walked beneath a building.

Lookin' good mommy.

Lookin' good Daddy.
