Happy New Year!

Mommy's resolution: to update the blog with three months' worth of 2008 photos this week!

Marathon

This year Mommy brought the camera along on the family's annual trek to Central Park for marathon viewing.

"I don't see anyone running."

"Are you sure they aren't coming from that way?"

"Are you *really* sure the marathon was today?"

"Daddy! Are you calling to check?!"

Asa the Tiger

This Halloween Asa wore his tiger costume for the second year in a row. But, there was room for another first: Asa the Tiger thoroughly enjoyed his first lolly pop!

Bar Light

Here's a photo of Asa basking in the great Sunday afternoon light at our friends' new bar.

Note: Mommy and Daddy weren't there drinking with the kids. It was opening weekend and we stopped in to say hi. Asa did have a juice box, though.

Il Bambino Redux

Tonight we moved Asa out of his crib and into his Big Boy Bed. To mark the occasion, we had him strike the same pose as when he moved into his crib from his bassinet.

Lunchbox in Tow

Here's Asa heading to his first full day of school, lunchbox in tow.

Rude

When Asa puts his feet on the table during a meal, mommy tells him it's rude. But when he does it after a meal, mommy takes a photo.

A Boy and His Cat

Second Day of School

Before.

After.

First Day of School

Asa started preschool! Here's a photo taken on his first day of school.*

*Bad mommy forgot the camera, but luckily a fellow parent brought one. Supposedly the teachers took more; good mommy will try to procure them.

The Times

"What I really enjoy is reading the The Times' Week in Review section over breakfast. It helps me stay informed of what goes on in the world while I'm at the playground."

The Whole Thing

Asa can't believe he ate the whole thing.

Action One

It's been hard getting Asa and Noa to pose together for a glamour shot, so here's an action one.

Got Milk?

Two Shots

This is the photo we sent to Asa's preschool to hang in his cubby.

This is the one we wanted to send.
