Car ride to nowhere

Five hours in the car yesterday going from CT to LGA to EWR via a two hour detour crossing Manhattan (note to self: never take the Holland tunnel during rush hour)

Statue of Liberty

If you look very carefully. It was closed due to Sandy or we would have gone!

Daredevil!

43.5 inches and 36 lbs!

The height predictor says he will be 5'11"

Lost his first tooth!!

Lucia's ballet party

Lots of pink (including wine glasses, at the birthday girl's request, filled with pink lemonade) and Cinderella even showed up!  Afterwards, Lucia informed me that "nobody thought it was the real Cinderella because her dress had a zipper."  Apparently the real one has a zipperless dress that the birds help her put on.

Goodbye sleepover with Alex

Gavin had his first sleepover this weekend, with his buddy Alex who is moving to San Diego this week.   They had an Xbox fest, playing Skylanders and then went to bed at 10 (after mooning Thomas).  Per Gavin's schedule, broken down into 15 minute increments, they woke up at 630 for a little more gaming, followed by donuts, some air hockey and some sort of hide-n-seek with skylanders game that they invented.
