Pizza!!!

Many months ago when we realized Leah would one day turn 1, we decided that on that day we'd celebrate by taking her to our favorite pizza place, DiFara's in Bay Ridge. When that day finally came, we also decided to take Leah to the Brooklyn Children's Museum first. So, when it was time for DiFara's she slept. She slept and Dad waited. And he waited. And 90 minutes later we had a pizza pie we took to go.

Here is Leah chomping on the crust of her slice.

Happy Birthday, Leah!!

We are speechless. Our little girl is one? Really? Are you sure?

I mean, we are not questioning her sophistication one bit but well, a cliche is a cliche for a reason and boy, does time move fast!

Here she is enjoying the park on a beautiful Saturday. She's one year and one day old!!

We revisit the beer garden, this time for a birthday celebration!!

Leah's friend Cole celebrated his first birthday in style at the beer garden in Williamsburg. Woo hoo!

Some shots (of Leah) from the day are below.

And our first visit, back in October, was well-documented in this post.

And Happy Birthday, Cole!!

Leah with her favorite cracker (Baby Mum-Mums - fun to say fast!) in her first shopping cart experience (at Lowe's).

The sprinklers at the 3rd Street playground. Woo hoo!

And the final three, taking a break from hiking near State Line Lookout (the states being New York and New Jersey not perhaps say the state of despair and state of happiness though part of the reason for the hike was the despair of the concrete jungle we felt and the state of happiness caused by seeing green and breathing some fresh non-urbanized air!)

August = Birthdays!!

Check it.

A birthday party celebrating Summer 2008 babies! Lee and her mom are in the middle. Leah in pink, mom in white and light blue skirt.

There were about 30 of Leah's friends (and parents) gathered to memorialize the amazing year we've all had.

Leah has 12 days until her real birthday but we brought in her birth month with a lot of fun!!

In Love

With the new camera lens!!

After hours

Leah stayed up late and visited Harry and Rebecca's new place near Metropolitan Ave.

Oops. Her shoes are on their couch. Now, that is not a good guest!

Luckily, she fell asleep like a champ so we've been assured she will be invited back!!
