What we've been up to....


Hi guys - have you missed me?

So it has been over two months since our last post....and I hate that the blog has taken a backseat lately. The little man has been getting taller, learning new skills, expanding his vocabulary and bringing us loads of joy every single day. We've also gotten to visit with family quite a bit over the past two months.

Here are a couple of my favorite pictures over the past few weeks....really in no particular order.


He has become a pretty big fan of Target....then again who isn't?



We decided to move from the Honda Accord to the CRV, Gordon was quite the wheeler and dealer when we went to make the trade.



We went to cousin Kenneth's 5th birthday party and Gordon had a lot of fun playing in the Sesame Street jump-jump. Here is a picture of him right after he came down a slide.



This picture just brings a smile to my face....love those cheeks!



Here the little man shows off his muscles!




He has become quite the builder - we found these great blocks with letters and numbers and of course ELMO - which is the most important!



He loves books and enjoys reading daily especially in the evening before bedtime.




He adores Elmo - and lucky for us we have now have DVDs that are entirely Elmo's World that he really enjoys. For a while he wouldn't even wait for the segment to come on during Sesame Street. He would hand the remote to us to fast-forward to Elmo. Oh to grow up with DVR.



He is all about sharing his goldfish...which apparently is like a pot of gold for the Petry kids.



He'll even share with Elmo.



The only thing he may love more than Elmo is Michael Jackson's Thriller. He even does a dance to the song which is pretty impressive. I'm doing my best to get it on video but so far it hasn't happened. He loves to listen to the song on repeat and apparently it can even serve as a lullaby.



There was a recent visit to NYC - Vanessa, Mae, Joe, Joli and I had a blast! Here we are having a little fun on the train as we returned back home.



Gordon traveled to PA with us where we stayed and hung out with PaPa and Nana for the day while the rest of us went to NYC. He played a lot and had a blast...so much so that he actually fell asleep on his feet.



He also got to use my rocking chair that my grandparents got me around the time I was his age. He loved it!




It should come as no surprise that this kid is a fan of Dudes....considering that I was eating there at a minimum of twice a week towards the end of my pregnancy.



Like most kids....cake makes him happy!



And I suppose that is worth the mess that comes with the cake...



So there is the quick catch up of what has been happening recently...I've got more pictures to upload from Easter...and hopefully it won't take two months!
