Jersey Shore!

We took our first trip to the Jersey shore (Spring Lake) this weekend. It was just under an hour drive from our house in Princeton. The weather was perfect, and the beach was beautiful. CJ loved it too; he went a full 2 hours at the beach before getting cranky. He enjoyed standing near and starring at the waves coming in and picking up sand and watching it fall through his fingers.

(Yum...cheeseburgers)

This is a new face that CJ has been making lately. He wrinkles his nose up like a bunny and breathes quickly.

Don't Want to Sleep!

Too cute. I tried to hide, but he saw me...

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

CJ wanted to say Happy Birthday to grandpa Tom and his great grandma Tutu today!!!

First Baseball Game

We took CJ to his first baseball game yesterday - Mets vs. Phillies at Philadelphia. CJ wore his mets outfit, of course. Nick invited us to come to their box for the game, so we thought it would be a great chance to bring CJ. Turns out CJ is still too little for baseball games - he cried whenever the fans cheered and clapped too loudly, which was often! And the box didn't provide much of a noise barrier. Here's a few pictures while he was somewhat happy.

Inch Worm and Other Videos!

CJ started doing the inch worm this week! Watch this video of him scooting across the floor like a little inch worm (or army man, whichever you prefer).



Here are a few other recent videos (quality on these is not great - we're still learning to use our new video camera, so hopefully these will improve!).

CJ's First Delhi Weekend

Last weekend was CJ's first trip to Delhi in the Catskills. He went with mom and dad and aunt Rachel and uncle Chuck. He also met many new people including great aunts, uncles and cousins.

Here he is ready to go exploring.

Goofing around at the house.

CJ loves bottles and cans!

CJ loved hanging out with his great cousin Janet who even babysat for him over the weekend.

Enjoying the nice view.

Hoping to win one of the baby baskets at the boy's camp raffle.

Bath time in the lake!

Pretty view of the horses.

And the lake.

CJ passed out on the way back from our grounds tour. Can't believe he slept during that bumpy ride!

CJ & Kendall

Gretchen and Steven came to Princeton for a visit the weekend of July 16, and we got to meet beautiful little Kendall for the first time! We had fun BBQing, hanging out at the BBC pool, and cruising downtown Princeton.

Naptime at the pool...

Water fun...
