Snowday!

During the Snowpocolypse, Dad had a day off from work. We went over to Prospect Park to see what Brooklyn was up to. Theo came along for the journey and made a few friends.

We're in a bit of a pickle

Double Feature

Two new videos from everyone's favorite leading man. Word on the streets is he's a lock for the Oscar this year.

Some Recent Gems

Looking good in the morning light.



Whoa! There's a whole world under this thing!

I don't care if there is blueberry on my face. My hair looks GOOD.

Rocking an ascot in honor of my Uncle Dr. Ascot

Welcome to my world.

Jailbreak

Rattle & Yum

Here are some shots from two of Theo's favorite activities: Rockin' and Mawin'. Of course, he prefers to do this with the ones he loves.

NYE 09 with the Halpern-Ranzers

Happy New Year! We had the pleasure of ringing in the decade with the Halpern-Ranzers down in Philly. It was quite an evening filled with friends, food and lots of laughter. Have a look below.

Good lookin' family, but who's that hippie on the far left?

We rolled our own sushi for dinner - so tasty.

The next generation of The Bus Stop DJs!

Katie & Shanz came by in the morning to feed Theo a maraca.

Meredith & Elias wishing you a great new year.

A big ol' batch of Theo

We've been really active over the last few weeks, and wanted to share this smattering of shots chronicling our adventures. Enjoy!

Theodore's First Snowfall


What on Earth is in this room?


Training to be a Stand-Up Comic (or maybe just training to stand up)





Daddy's Showing me Stuff

Hollywood Swingin'

Last week Theodore had his first visit to the playground and took a trip on the swings. Is that laughter or terror? We're going with laughter.

Unique Holiday Gifts

Do not try this at home.

Have a Holly Jolly Christmas

Theodore and family celebrated his first Christmas this year, and it was a blast!

Someone knows that Santa made a visit.

Bubbles! My new favorite!

I guess instead of a real car this one will have to do (for now)

Amanda got the Kathy Griffin book!

Matt enjoys his gifts over a tasty eggnog.

Fancy tights!

For the rest of the Christmas shots, including our visit to the Guarino's, check out the full album.

'Twas the Night Before Christmas

The holiday season continues, and we're so excited to celebrate our first Christmas with young Theo. We got a little tree, and thanks to Mom, we have hung our stockings in Brooklyn in anticipation of a visit from Santa.

Following the Plattsmier family tradition, we each opened one gift tonight, Christmas Eve. Enjoy some pics, and Happy Holidays, everyone out there!

Theodore got his first ornament, an engraved silver bell.

Matt received a can of tomatoes, which is a very long story he'd be glad to share with you.

Amanda received a bona fide certificate entitling her to Matt's infamous chili, which has been threatened but never materialized in the 4 years we have been together. Hopefully we won't have to end up in small claims court over it.

Hanukkah with Luvie & Grandpa

Theo spent some Hanukkah quality time at Luvie & Grandpa's this season.

Lookin' good!

Mind meld

Enjoy yourself 'Manda!

And for fun, Luvie gave Theo his first taste of applesauce! Let's see how he likes it:

Cousins

Happy Hanukah!

Come Light the Menorah!

The first night of Hanukah

Check out my dance moves in my fresh new furry moccasins!

Theodore is 6 months old!

As a big 6 monther, Theo is starting to try out some solid foods for the first time. Luckily Uncle Dave was in from Texas and got in on the action. The reception of the foods has been lukewarm so far, but we're sure he'll find something to like sooner or later.

Trying out a bib

David and Goliath - only in this case, David IS Goliath

Finally some got in!

A whole lot to be thankful for...

We are so blessed this year. It wasn't difficult to come up with what to be thankful for at this year's Thanksgiving table. A happy, healthy, wonderful little baby has to be one of the greatest gifts you can ask for.

In addition to having Plattsmiers in from Texas, lots of delicious food, and family time with the Gonsky-Plattsmier crew (see pictures here), we had another eventful occasion to celebrate - Theodore started crawling! His Grammy figured out that bare knees helped him get the traction he needed to get on the move. Check it out!
