First off, I apologize for not having updated the blog in a week. Things have been ca-razy! Last week, Wed through Fri, we went on our first family trip to NYC. I mean, could we have chosen a more difficult city to travel with a baby? It was Jeff's graduation from Columbia's dental school and we had to go up to celebrate with them. We were living in NYC when they moved there for school so it was only appropriate that we go for the finale. We had a great time but Brad and I had an awakening as to why we don't live there anymore with a baby. That city is hard enough as it is but throw a baby into the equation and it is even more so! Let me just say that baby strollers and subway stations do not work well together. We were so over carrying our heavy stroller up and down the stairs by the end of the trip!
We did, however, have an amazing time strolling through our old neighborhood and seeing good friends. We arrived at the Hudson Hotel on Wednesday night after taking the train up from DC's Union Station and arrived in NYC's Penn Station. Baker was so good on the train ride up and didn't make a peep. Everyone was amazed at how good he was. Thursday morning we went to the graduation along with Jeff and Anna's family and a few other friends. He is officially Dr. Laughlin now! After a group lunch at their favorite Cuban place in town, Brad, Baker and I hit Soho for a little shopping. We were so exhausted by the end of the day. Poor Baker was totally off of his schedule as it was nearly impossible to keep (he probably napped a total of 2.5 hours compared to the usual 5.5) but believe it or not, the little guy managed to sleep through the night both nights despite the typical NYC noise and sirens and being in a hotel crib! I swore that if he was able to sleep through Thurs night after being so grumpy and tired from the day's events that he was officially an angel child and I was right...Baker is an ANGEL! We are so blessed! Friday morning we headed to PhysioArts to see my other family there. It was an amazing feeling to be able to introduce Baker to all of them. After strolling through the UWS, we had to catch our train back. It wasn't as pleasant as the ride up because Baker was so tired but he still did reasonable well. Needless to say, we were thrilled to get back home and truly appreciate living in DC now! And, on Saturday, Baker turned 4 months old!!! So, there will of course be his 4 month photos to come...stay tuned! FYI - Our camera was left sitting in our living room chair so we had to buy a disposable digital camera. We haven't had chance to get the photos developed yet so watch this space for pictures to come.
