Playing with Meow-Meow

Bryce has a new favorite playmate... Meow-Meow! Meow-Meow is particularly fun when Daddy helps him to read. (How apropos that they are reading a book about cats!)

It is even more fun when Daddy helps Meow-Meow play chase!

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!

This past weekend, we received our first significant snowfall...and Bryce loved it! Unfortunately, the snow was mixed with sleet and rain, so it wasn't very comfortable to be out. Bryce was not deterred, though. He and Mimi built a cute little snowman on top of one of our trashcans. Bryce was so proud of his work! Every time we walked by it or looked out the window, he would say "Bryce made that."

Children's Museum

On Sunday, Bryce, Oma, Jeremy and I met up with Jackie and Julien at the Children's Museum. Bryce had tons of fun running from exhibit to exhibit. His favorite spots, though, are the various water features! Unfortunately, my camera battery died, so we didn't get very many photos. Here we are pretending to do the Lion Dance in a Chinese New Year parade!

Late Birthday, Early Christmas with Oma!

Oma came to Brooklyn for a visit this weekend. Bryce was so excited to play with Oma and all of his new birthday and Christmas toys!

Bryce is quite the musician!

Decorating and Dancing

We borrowed a VERY large Christmas tree from our neighbors for this year and got started on the decorating yesterday. Bryce got the hang of putting on ornaments very quickly.
However, Bryce quickly lost interest when he was told that the ornaments are supposed to stay on the tree!
Bryce preferred to take the ornaments off (particularly the cat) and dance around the room with them!
I took this picture without a flash, so you can see how "fast" Bryce is dancing!
As a bonus, Bryce's very pregnant Aunt Nikki stopped by for a visit and we got a couple of belly pictures in front of the tree. Nikki is due on January 2nd, but would be grateful for an earlier delivery at this point!

Clean Up!

Bryce LOVES to help around the house! Here, he is polishing the table with Mimi. After he sprayed the polish, he would rub it in...the whole time remarking, "Wow-ee!"

Baby, It's Cold Outside...

...but, Bryce doesn't care! We had a fun and chilly walk through the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens today after our Music Together class. Bryce had a great time running, throwing leaves, climbing on rocks and "reading" all of the signs (which, by the way, all say "tree".)After I had taken so many photos today, Bryce got out his pretend camera and started taking his own photographs!
