Halloween Frights & Harry Potter

Even though Mom & I had a rough day on Friday, we finished the day on a good note. Dad & I carved out our pumpkin. There was lots of debate about what we should carve out, but eventually we all agreed on a floating ghoul. I think he's pretty cool & scares me when the lights are out.

I had a great night's sleep - a full 8 hours. All the eating & short naps equaled a good long sleep which my body needed to help me grow big & strong. This morning we took our first trip to the grocery store - Mom, Dad & I. Mom decided it was best to carry me in the Moby rather than bringing in the stroller or putting my car seat in the shopping cart (which takes up all the free space). We got lots of compliments on how adorable I am (one lady asked Mommy if she just left the hospital because I looked so young). One employee thought my Moby was part of my outfit (weird observation) but he really thought it was "nifty." During the afternoon we headed to Germantown Ave for the Harry Potter day with Aunt Shana. There were tons of activities for older kids - scavenger hunts, photos with Harry Potter characters, sorting hat demonstration & Defense for the Dark Arts demo. We just walked around, popped into some shops & enjoyed the sights. Many people were dressed up for the day - including some creepy, grown men dressed as Professor Snape. Here are some photos we took in front of O'Doodles:

After browsing around town, we stopped over to check out the quidditch tournament at Chestnut Hill College. Mom, Dad & Aunt Shana were getting a kick out of this spectacle. It was very interesting to watch these college kids play a game with broom sticks between their legs. Dad got a kick out of Villanova's dedication - they had very expensive uniforms, ran laps, held an extensive warm up/practice session & had rally chants. I'm not sure I'll be playing quidditch when I get to college - somehow I think these kids get made fun of a bit. Here's a photo from the tournament:

This is my reaction to the quidditch tournament when Mom asked how I enjoyed it:

Later that night Mom went to Tatum's bachelorette party in the city, while Dad & I ventured out to Uncle Jon & Ann Marie's Halloween party. The apartment was decorated with lots of cobwebs & scary tidbits. Ann Marie had lots of Halloween inspired treats & cocktails - Dad's favorite was her candy corn rice krispie treats. Everyone had a great time - I of course slept during the party upstairs & didn't make a peep. I decided to give Dad the night off & let him enjoy the party. He checked on me every 15 minutes or so to make sure I was alright. Mom had a fabulous time & dressed up as her pre-baby self (she looked very pretty in her dress). She came back to the Uncle Jon's at 11:30PM. We left a little after 12PM & I slept until 1AM, which of course meant that Mommy was up with me most of the night. She didn't mind because she had most of the night off. I stayed up with her until 3:30AM & then Daddy took over until I fell asleep at 4:14AM. On Sunday, we stayed in, had a lazy day & prepared for Hurricane Sandy to arrive. Here's a picture of me catching up on logistic regression by doing a little reading with Dad:

All and all a pretty laid back day. Dad is going to be working from home tomorrow, since SEPTA has been shut down to prepare for the storm. Mom made sure all our flashlights are working, but Daddy doesn't think the storm will hit hard despite the hype. We're going to have to play Monday & Tuesday's activities by ear depending on what happens with Hurricane Sandy.

Adjusting to Life...

Tuesday Mom, Aunt Emily & I went to Mom & Baby yoga. I still wasn't ready to let Mommy fully enjoy class. I much preferred her holding me for the majority of class, but I did allow her to get a few poses in. Mom's pretty impressive with her yoga - she mastered some poses while holding me - I imagine that takes lots of strength & balance. After yoga I napped while Mom helped Aunt Emily shop for new pants at the King of Prussia mall. They shopped for a couple of hours while I snoozed & then decided to join a mommy meetup at Valley Forge park. We walked with 2 other babies - Finley (8 weeks) & Lucas (1 year). I slept the whole time. I got quite an impressive amount of sleep during the afternoon - 5 & 1/2 hours - WOW. On Wednesday, I got to hang out with Aunt Emily, while Mommy spent a few hours running errands and getting a massage. I thought it would be really nice to treat Mom to a massage after all her love and support this first month. While Mom was gone I went for a walk in Morris Arboretum with Aunt Emily & then she gave me a bath (my 1st bath in the big tub). Mom was so relaxed after her afternoon out & massage. She told me she even stopped at Starbucks for a pumpkin spice latte - sounds tasty. With Aunt Emily in Morris Arboretum:

Here's a funny note from today: This morning I felt a shooting pain & didn't know where it was coming from or what to do about it, so I did the only thing I knew would get Mom's attention to help: I furrowed my brow, turned bright red & let out a very loud scream. Mom came over & instantly started laughing. Apparently I shoved my pointer finger up my nostril & couldn't figure out how to get it out. Tonight I worked long & hard making a sign to send to Pop for his 50th birthday:

Pop said I am so smart - definitely Princeton material (Mom thinks maybe Stanford material - as long as I can figure out how to take my finger out of my nose once I've jammed it up there). Thursday & Friday were tough days for Mommy & I. All I wanted to do Thursday was nurse, so Mom fed me and changed me all day long. We didn't leave the house at all. All in all not such a bad day, but I think Mom was pretty tired by the time Dad got home from his team building activity at 10PM (after his conference his team went on a ghost hunt in Society Hill - maybe next time he can take me with him to catch ghosts). Friday was rough because all I wanted to do was eat again. When I wasn't eating, peeing or pooping, I was crying and screaming. Nap time wasn't in the cards for me today. Mom was pretty frustrated because we didn't get to go to Mommy Coffee hour or the 1PM hayride with the mom's group like she had planned. She tried really hard to get me to nap during the afternoon, but all I did was cry and scream. I was trying to tell her all I wanted to do was to keep eating, but she kept trying to get me to nap (I'll admit I was probably a bit overtired too) - Mom & I both ended up crying this afternoon. Mommy felt bad that she couldn't make me happy & I felt bad that I made her cry, but honestly Mom I just wanted food. We both finally took a 3 & 1/2 hour nap late afternoon & woke up when Daddy got home from work. Dad made us dinner & brought it to us in bed because of course I wanted to eat as soon as I woke up from my nap. I promise not to make Mommy cry again & she promises to adjust her expectations for our daily schedule. It's alright that we missed the hayride Mom - I probably wasn't going to remember it anyway. Fun weekend plans: preparing for Hurricane Sandy (grocery shopping), checking out Harry Potter weekend in Chestnut Hill & watching the quidditch tournament at Chestnut Hill College, hanging with Dad at Uncle Jon & Ann Marie's Halloween party while Mommy goes to Tatum's bachelorette party (I'm letting her go to dinner with the girls & promise to take the bottle from Dad) & possibly going to "Boo at the Zoo" on Sunday if the rain holds out.

1 Month Old

Earlier in the week, I got to meet my Aunt Emily at Uncle Jon & Ann Marie's dinner party. She has three boys at home in Rochester (my 3 cousins that I'm very excited to meet soon), so she was happy to give Mom a break & get me cozy in the Moby. Everyone had a great time at the pot luck dinner. Mom & I baked a Pumpkin Apple Brown Betty & served it in a hollowed out pumpkin - it was a hit! There were other kids at the dinner party, but I really didn't have a chance to meet them because I took a nap soon after we arrived. The next night we went out to dinner in Philly with Aunt Emily, Uncle Jon & Ann Marie. We went to Vargas - one of the restaurants Dad frequented when he moved to Philly before Mom & I arrived in June. I of course slept the majority of the time in the Moby. Everyone had a great time - then I needed a diaper change. This restaurant did not a have a large clean bathroom that I could be changed in, so Mommy changed me in our booth. She wasn't really keen on this idea, but I was screaming so loudly because of my wet diaper that I didn't really leave her any choice. In the middle of changing me, I pee'd & it went all over the booth & even squirted me in the face. Aunt Emily was just talking about how baby boys always squirt themselves in the face at least once - I guess she jinxed us because I ended up christening myself that night. Yesterday I celebrated being 1 month old with a trip to New Jersey. It was Pop's 50th birthday party & I was so excited to celebrate with him. Mom bought lots of decorations with "50" all over everything & grandma got yummy food and ice cream cake. Before the party started, Mom, Dad, Grandma, Pop, Aunt Shana & I took a trip to the Allenhurst Beach. The weather was gorgeous & the ocean crashing onto the sand reminded me of my Sleep Sheep (my favorite bedtime buddy). We took lots of pictures & then rushed home to meet family. Check out my shades:

Hanging with Pop celebrating his 50th

Mom, Dad & I at the beach

Unfortunately, all the excitement of the day meant I missed my afternoon nap. Boy, oh, boy did Mom & Dad learn that I need my afternoon naps. I was so excited to meet family & friends, but I was too tired to enjoy meeting them (& that meant Mommy didn't get a chance to enjoy the party either because she needed to nurse me all afternoon). Dad did get a chance to show me off & walk me around so everyone could get a peek, but then it was off for more nursing, diaper changes & failed attempts at getting in a late nap. Mom & Dad were thankful that the car ride home put me to sleep (Mom was keeping her fingers crossed that I wouldn't be up all night because I was over tired). Lucky for them I went to bed around 1AM & then slept for four hours (not my typical 6-7 hours per night, but at least everyone got some shut eye for a bit). Aunt Emily is staying with us until Thursday. She's helping Mom & Dad around the house. We brought her to music class this morning at the Conshohocken Library. This was my first music class & Mommy was really excited. She knows I'm too young to really enjoy the class, but it's a fun way for us to get out of the house for a bit. I did actually enjoy the singing and dancing. Mommy had me clapping my hands together & bouncing on her lap. I'm really looking forward to going back to music class when I get a little older & Mom can let me play with the instruments. Check out Mommy singing along at Music Class.

This afternoon I had my 1 month checkup at Dr. Berger's office. I'm becoming such a big boy - 9lbs. 14 oz & 21.75 inches long - 50th %le for both. The nurse came to give me my 2nd HEP B shot while I was nursing. Mommy tried to trick me & thought I wouldn't notice the massive needle stabbed into my leg if she kept nursing. It didn't work - one minute I was happily nursing and the next I had a sharp pain in my thigh. I gave Mom the evil eye and started to scream. Thankfully the pain subsided quickly & I could continue nursing. Other fun things this week: Mommy & Me yoga tomorrow, Harry Potter weekend in Chestnut Hill complete with a quidditch tournament & Uncle Jon's Halloween party

Fall Fun Festivities

Over the weekend Mom, Dad & I went with Uncle Jon & Ann Marie to the Philly Food & Wine Festival. I was really excited to go, but by the time we got there I was sound asleep. We were at the Philadelphia Convention Center at Oaks - tons of vendors, booths, food samples, beer & wine tastings and a lot of noise. All the commotion didn't bother me - I continued to sleep until we left. Dad pushed me in my stroller from vendor to vendor & used my sippy cup hold to hold his wine glass. We finished the festival off watching Terry French whip up some pork belly - my nose must work really well because I was definitely hungry after the demonstration. Here's Dad:

Here I am sleeping at the festival & during Terry French's demonstration:

Afterwards I went with everyone out to eat at Iron Hill Brewery. This was my first time out to eat on a weekend. Mom put me in the Moby wrap because there wasn't enough room at the table for my carseat. I fell fast asleep & let Mom and Dad enjoy some adult time out. Mom almost got to finish her dinner before my wet diaper woke me up screaming. Mom changed my diaper in the bathroom & I screamed the whole time. The hostess was restocking the stalls with toilet paper & hovered over me while Mommy changed my diaper (I thought it was really weird for a stranger to watch me get my diaper changed). I slept really well after my long day out on the town. Here's a picture of the family out to eat:

On Sunday, we had another long day out. We went to Linvilla Orchards in the morning so I could pick out my 1st pumpkin. I was so excited for pumpkin picking, but fell asleep by the time we got there. Mom carried me in the Moby wrap & stayed fast asleep the whole time. Mom & Dad did a little shopping at the market, sampled some apple cider & cider donuts and then scoped out the pumpkin scene. We found a great pumpkin that Dad's going to carve later this week & I even got my own Win sized pumpkin. It's small enough for me to hold in my hands. Here's a picture of me at the orchard:

After the orchard, we headed to Fairmont Park to attend the "Taste of Fall" Junior League fundraiser. I needed a snack to tide me over for the afternoon. After my snack, I fell back asleep & let mom enjoy all the yummy food & delicious fall beverages. What a great weekend!! This week while Dad's at work, Mom & I are planning to get out & make some friends at the new mom meetups. We were able to get out of the house in time for Mommy & Baby yoga this morning. We almost didn't make it there because I kept peeing my diaper every time Mommy tried to put me in my carseat. We finally made it there - 10 minutes late (which was OK because some moms didn't arrive until 45 minutes later). Mom introduced me to her yoga instructor Randi. Randi was really excited to meet me & watched me grow as Mommy's belly grew during prenatal yoga. There were 7 other babies in yoga class. I was the youngest by a month and a half. I think Mommy was just eager to get out of the house, which is why other mommy's of 1 month olds weren't there. In any case, we had a good time. I let Mom get in a few yoga poses now & again - I really wanted her to hold me & she tried to do both (I think she probably looked silly trying to rock me in yoga poses). All the moms and babies were really nice - you can tell they've all made friends with one another. Mom & I are going to love coming to yoga on Tuesdays. I got invited to my first party by Daniel's mom. It's a Halloween party & Mom is really excited to attend. Next up this week: we're going to a dinner party at Uncle Jon & Ann Marie's house tomorrow (Mom & I are going to bake an apple pumpkin brown betty tomorrow to bring to the party), we're going to attempt to walk a few miles on Kelly Drive, going to Merrymead Farm for a hayride this Friday and venturing out to NJ for the first time this weekend (it's Pop's birthday party). Stay tuned!!

You're Going To Cut My What?!?!

On Wednesday, Mom & Dad brought me to CHOP for my circumcision. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but boy was I "ooh'd" & "ahh'd" over by the nurses & office staff. We were at Grandpa Snyder's office & everyone was in love with "Baby Snyder." Then my nurse practitioner, Steven, came in & things got scary. Steven used a special cream to numb my penis. Boy was it cold & made me tingly. Thank goodness Mom & Dad were there to cuddle me until Dr. Canning took me back for my procedure. Half an hour after the numbing cream went on, Dr. Canning & Steven started the procedure. Mom & Dad waited in the exam room while I went under the knife. Steven strapped me down so that I couldn't move, while Dr. Canning changed my manhood. I screamed & cried as loud as I could. I was hoping my Mommy would hear me & run in to save me from the man with the knife. Mom & Dad never came to my rescue. Half an hour later I was wrapped in a warm blanket & back in my Mommy's arms. Thankfully that Tylenol had kicked in - I fell fast asleep. Mom & Dad brought me to visit Grandpa Snyder in his office and the staff "ooh'd" & "ahh'd" some more. Dad had to go back to work, so Grandma Smeriglio met us at the house. Mom was nervous that I was going to freak out during my diaper changes or that I would bleed a lot from the surgery, so Grandma came to help. I was a perfect angel for Mom. I slept most of the afternoon thanks to the Tylenol & didn't cry very much when I had my diaper changed. Mom, Grandma & I went for a walk in the Morris Arboretum. It was a nice fall day - the leaves were changing color, the scarecrow walk had some really cool scarecrows (my favorite was Peter Pan and Captain Cook). Mom took us to visit the swans and we even saw a groundhog. Here's me snoozing after the circumcision:

Our photo shoot pictures came back - they came out awesome!! I am really the most adorable baby - Mommy said so - obviously it's true. Here are some of my favorite shots:

On Thursday, Mommy gave me a bath & took off my bandage. I was such a big boy & only cried once. I was nice and clean by the time Daddy got home from work & we all went out for dinner. It was my first time going out to dinner. It was very nice of Mom & Dad to take me out to eat, but I just wanted to sleep, so I let them enjoy a peaceful sushi dinner (Mommy even enjoyed her 1st cocktail - something called a Mojito). Friday morning Mommy & I decided to venture out to Milk Boy coffehouse for the new mom's meetup. I got to meet 3 other little babies - Dexter (Dex) who was 12 weeks old, Hazel (she's really pretty) was 3 & 1/2 months old & Hannah who was 7 weeks old (Mom met her mom at prenatal yoga class). I was so interested in all the babies that I was wide awake the whole time. Dad thinks I'm into older ladies & I must say the girls I met today were beautiful. At the end of the meetup, I decided it was time to eat. Mom fed me there after everyone left & by accident I pee'd all over her & myself. It's really not my fault - Mom has been putting my diapers on pretty loosely so my penis doesn't get squished. Mom told me not to worry - it's all part of being a Mommy she figures - lots of messes. When we got home from out coffee date, we found my Halloween costume had arrived. I won't reveal what I'm going to be - guess you'll have to wait and see. Next up on our weekend agenda: Saturday we're checking out the Philly Food & Wine Festival with Uncle Jon and Ann Marie. I'm most excited for Sunday - we're going pumpkin picking at Linvilla Farms and then going to Mom's Junior League event - Taste of Fall. We're going to check out all the food stands in the park - it should be really fun!!

Let There Be Light

I can't believe I'm 2 weeks old today!! So much has happened in the past 2 weeks - I finally feel like I'm adjusting to life on the outside. Let's jump back to my birthday: At 3:51AM on September 21st, 2012 I emerged into this world & was placed upon my Mommy's belly. Beethoven was playing the background, as I opened my eyes to see my Mom & Dad. They were so excited to see me & Dad got to cut my umbilical cord, while Mom snuggled me closely. There were a couple other women in the room that Mom introduced me to - our midwives, Barbara & Erika; our doula, Sarah; and our nurse, Jeanie. The room was lit with candles & Mom, Dad & I snuggled on a big, cozy bed.

Later that day, I heard Mommy share her birth story with my grandma. Her contractions started at 1:15PM & Daddy came home early from work. The midwives wanted them to come in, so they headed to the birth center around 5:30PM. Mom's contractions were 2 & 1/2 minutes apart by the time they got there and Barbara, our midwife, told Mom that she was 3 cm dialated. Mom did a great job working through the contractions & Dad helped keep her calm and focused. Dad controlled the iPad & made sure that Mommy was listening to great tunes, but then eventually switched over to all classical music. I really love that guy Beethoven - man he really knows how to put me to sleep.

When Mom started really pushing, I was having a hard time getting under her pelvic bone. The midwives, Sarah (our doula) & Dad helped her stay focused so that my head wouldn't continue to get smushed, which was pretty uncomfortable for me & lowered my heart rate a little. Dad & Sarah helped Mommy get into optimal pushing positions to help get me out as fast as they could. Mom did a great job on her last couple of pushes to get me out & of course I screamed as I opened my eyes and saw bright lights because that's what babies do. We stayed at the birth center for 4 hours while we had our vitals checked out, I had my first meal & Mom and Dad took a cat nap. After that, we headed home in the mom mobile. Mom sat in the back & I squeezed her finger the entire way home. When we got home, I was greeted by 2 very excited doggies - Bolt & Toshio. They were very interested in me but Daddy didn't let them give me kisses. Bolt likes to sit by me whenever he can & just stares at me - it's kind of weird but I guess he's just curious to find out more about me.

Grandma & Pop Smeriglio came to spend the night with us. They helped Mommy & Daddy around the house, so they could get some rest, change my poopy diapers & feed me all day. We camped out in Mom & Dad's bed, until we needed to go meet my pediatrician, Dr. Berger. Dr. Berger was really nice, but gave me a shot that made me yell & cry. Thank goodness Mommy & Daddy were there to make me feel better. I got to meet my Aunt Shana that night. She's pretty cool - she just came from coaching a field hockey game. The next day Grandma & Pop Smeriglio left & it was just Mom, Dad & I for most of the day. Daddy made breakfast for Mommy in bed, cleaned the house & took care of both of us. I figured out that Mom is the one that feeds me. I had a hard time nursing at first because my tongue was tied - apparently that means the little piece of skin that connects my tongue to my mouth was too tight. Mom did a great job helping me nurse, but on day 4 Dr. Berger clipped it. That helped a lot. I got to meet Grandma & Grandpa Snyder on Saturday afternoon. They were really excited to meet me. Grandma Mimi came to visit again after she got back from her trip to Chicago. On Sunday, Nurse Jeanie came to visit us at home. She told Mom & Dad that I had jaundice and the pediatrician on call sent us to CHOP ER to check the levels in my blood. We spent 4 hours there & the nurses took 1 hour to draw blood from my heel. I cried & cried as they squeezed my foot until the Dr. gave me a pacifier with Sweet Ease. Mom wasn't really happy about the pacifier, but the pacifier was fantastic. I sucked away on it the rest of the time we were at the ER. Here's a photo of me in my "hospital gown" - Mom thought it was hysterical

We followed up with the pediatrician on Monday & Dr. Berger clipped my tongue. I cried & cried until Dr. Berger offered me Sweet Ease - love that sweet stuff. It takes so long for us all to get ready, get out the door & come home. We generally only get one real task done during the day - except for Dad - he's always running around the house fixing things & doing little projects. Tuesday we went back to the pediatrician to meet with the lactation consultant, Linda - she's the boob lady. She helped Mom teach me how to use my tongue properly. I am definitely a boob man!! Dad & Mom gave me a sponge bath - man, did I hate it!! I screamed & cried the entire time. For dinner, Uncle Jon & Ann Marie came over with take out from Iron Hill. Uncle Jon was a little nervous to hold me - maybe because my neck is so wobbly. Wednesday was Mommy's birthday - the big 29 (don't tell her but next year she'll be 30). I was a perfect angel all day!! Aunt Arianna came over with her mom. They brought Mom & I presents. I'm really glad Uncle Mario is dating Arianna - she's so nice to bring me Winnie the Pooh socks & other fun goodies. Later that day Grandma Smeriglio & Aunt Shana came over. They brought Mom & I more presents & a birthday cake for Mom. We all sang "Happy Birthday" to Mom.

Thursday morning we went to go see the midwives. They took my weight & I am gaining weight well. Mom was doing well too - she's really restless at home & can't wait to take me out for walks. The midwives told her that she still needs to rest. Friday we were back at Dr. Berger's to make sure I was doing well getting rid of the jaundice & gaining weight. Dr. Reza was really nice & he said everything looked great!! I finally got to meet Uncle Mario. He came with Arianna, Grandma & Pop. He spent the week working in California, so he came to Philly from his red-eye flight home. Uncle Maz was also a little nervous holding me - maybe he thought I was going to poop my diaper while he was holding me. On Monday, we had my 10 day old photo shoot with Heather Fowler. She took pictures of me when I was in Mommy's belly. We had so much fun at the photo shoot - Heather took lots of pictures of me cuddled in blankets, in buckets, in a suitcase & I was even naked in some. Mom can't wait to see the pictures - I'm sure I'll be cute as a button. We went to Grandpa Snyder's office on Tuesday & met with Dr. Canning. He had to check out my penis to make sure I can get a circumcision. I don't know what a circumcision is, but I'm sure it's something I won't like. I'll be going back to Dr. Canning next week. Mom asked Dad to take off of work, so that he can help her at the circumcision. On Wednesday, Mom & Dad took me on my first walk around the block. Mommy was very excited to use the stroller. Thursday Dad went back to work. Mom & I went out on our own for the first time. She took me to lactation support group with Dr. Linda. We got to meet 6 other babies & there was a little girl who was also 2 weeks old (maybe she'll be my girlfriend ;) After the group meeting, we met Laura, Mommy's prenatal yoga teacher, for lunch. Laura is also having a baby boy - Johnny & he'll be born in a few weeks. I was such a good boy for Mom the entire day. We picked Dad up from work & all went home together. Today was bath day, but this time I had my bath in the sink. Mommy put my big, blue flower tub in the sink & filled it with lots of warm water. I loved my bath & didn't cry once. Mom & Dad were pretty impressed.

Now that I'm 2 weeks old I feel like I'm finally getting used to the outside world. Mommy & Daddy are so great and I love when they cuddle me closely. Dad cradles & swings me around - I love it!!

A few funny moments: today Mommy went to change my diaper after I pee'd & pooped. She finished cleaning me up & just as she was getting the new diaper ready to go on I pooped again - all over my changing table. She was so surprised & while she was wiping my tush clean I pee'd all over myself & all over the dresser. I was not happy about lying in my own pee, so I started to scream. Mom tried to quickly clean everything up & got a new diaper on me. While she put on my new outfit (I pee'd all over my previous outfit), I pooped again in my new diaper - it was loud!! Mom had to re-change my diaper & while she was doing that I pooped AGAIN!! Mom caught it with the wipe this time, but I was really upset about needing to get another new diaper. I thought it was pretty funny & smiled as soon as I had nice clean clothes & a new diaper on - I don't think Mommy found it very funny. Another thing my Mom & Dad think are hysterical - when I get gassy - it sounds like a bomb exploded. Sometimes it's so loud & explosive - it startles me & I cry. Hopefully I'll get used to bodily functions. Well that's all for now - stay tuned to our next adventure - Tomorrow we're going to Kelly Drive to check out the the Philadelphia International Dragon Boat Regatta. Very excited to get back into the stroller & check out some more of Philadelphia. Sunday we're going to try to check out the Fall Festival at the Morris Arboretum if the weather stays nice. Looking forward to a fun weekend with Mom & Dad :)
