Thursday in New York

Last night, Daddy's friend Kerwin, from the church tutoring group, came to visit...bearing the yummiest cupcakes. What a lovely friend he is! Just as well they have nice friends, cos I dont think this Grandma here is a very good cook really. Well, she doesn't cook yummy cupcakes like that anyway! She keeps meaning to bake some pumpkin scones, (I wonder what they would call them in New York), and some pikelets (well, I know they would call them pancakes, I am sure of that)! One day she will do it, I am sure!

Here is Kerwin holding me...I think he might like babies!

Grandma likes to show a few pictures of New York to people who might never get here to visit. This was down at Broadway and West 156thSt the other day, where Mum and Dad used to live. They had to come up here to live here cos of ME! They needed a bigger apartment they said!

Anyway, this is part of the Audubon Terrace. A group of buildings that used to be a farm a long time ago. Pretty flash looking farm, eh? There was a famous man called Mr Audubon who was a painter (?) and a Naturalist.

These buildings have all sorts of interesting names around the tops of them, that Grandma likes to look at. I think she called some of them explorers. And they might have been Spanish. That is because these buildings house the Hispanic Society Museum..is that what it is called.? Mum and Dad and Grandma went in there one day, and they said there were all these famous paintings ...huge ones, on the walls. I'd like to see them one day. Plus lots of other interesting things too!

Here is a photo of Dad and me at the computer, flat out! I really like sleeping on dad's shoulder like that. It helps when I have bubbles in my tummy, and he doesnt seem to mind!

At the moment I am in my day bed cot while Mum tries to sleep. I am a bit squirmy and trying to decide whether to wake up. Maybe when I have finsihed dictating this to Grandma, and Mummy has had a little sleep. She gets a bit tired, and needs to catch up on sleep, as I like to feed so often. But I am trying to be a very good boy at night, and sometimes I can go 3 or nearly 4 hours, which is a long time for me between drinks! Mum really likes it when I do that at night, so she doesn't really mind how often I get hungry during the day really!
