Sitting in the Garbage Truck

Theo was lucky to have one of his young dreams come true. Watch as he honks the horn inside a garbage truck.

In a word: Cute

Theo in two cute photos and a video from the last few weeks.

Tea Lounge Musical Chairs

Theo and I hit the local coffee shop, the Tea Lounge, quite often. It's a paradise of different seats for Theo to try out. Have a look as he makes his way around!

Snow Day!

Easy Rider

Our friend Matt sent the most generous holiday gift for Theo. Watch as he rides that hog all over the apartment.

Theo Speaks!

Theo shows off his new speaking skills, and gives Grumpy a new name.

Happy Holidays From T.R. !

We had so much fun this holiday season. Here are a few photos from the past few weeks.

Theo lit the Hanukkah candles every night!

The young pilot takes his plane out for flight.

Asleep on the plane to Texas (he takes after mommy)

Making himself right at home at Grammy & Grumpy's house

Who's that crazy lady in the glasses?

Simple pleasures

Bath time with Elias

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!
