Meme and Alex Came to Visit

We had a wonderful weekend because Mama and Papa let Meme and Alex come from Toronto to play with us. They brought us a new walking thingy firetruck. I, Tomas, like it because it moves and has a seat that opens and it moves. I like it, says Sofia, because I can sit on it and people drive me around - though when I fell off it was not so funny.

Alex took a very nice picture of me and a nice one of Tomas as well. We tried Goat Yogurt tonight -- because Mama thinks it might not make us be allergic. Today, we also found out that we are allergic to Cinnamon in our applesauce is that weird? We went to the 68th street playground this afternoon after we played in the 10th avenue playground this morning.


We were pooped.

Opa Bob came to visit us as well - he could only stop by for half an hour because Oma had him on many errands -- but we will see him this weekend. Papa promises to have a big BBQ and Sofia's Godmother Lara will come to visit as well. I hope she will make her all bendy again. Sofia always laughs when Mama bends her legs over her head.

We need to go to sleep now. Good night.

Peekaboo curtains!

The heat is On!

Wow was it hot today - 90 degrees in Manhattan. We got a bit grumpy and dirty (Tomas even ate dirt at the community garden - he thought it was a rock.) but enjoyed our bath because Papa came back in time to help.

Tomas: So much has happened since we last wrote an entry. We spent 9 days in Chicago for the final 3 concerts led by Maestro Barenboim - except Mama and Papa did not take us to any of them because it was too late at night. So instead we stayed at Tante Gudrun's amazing apartment and chased Mama and Papa and Gudrun around the entire flat. Tante Gudrun is soooooo cool because she has many windows that go all the way to the floor, mirrors on walls, curtains that hand low, Chinese furniture that all has hinges, wooden boxes that can be banged on, several remote controls and the best Godmother I could ever have.

Sofia: Tante Gudrun and I had a very funny time eating together - she taught us about blueberries -- I LOVE BLUEBERRIES so much that my poop is now purple. Gudrun's apartment is so wonderful that we choose to sleep much longer there and eat more and play more. And I cleaned at Gudrun's - i do not want to leave a mess. We did not like it when too many people at Papa's old workplace looked at us. I want to look at them -- but then friends came to visit us and that was fun. Mama' s friend Theresa brought us funny books with baby pictures in them - I study them daily. Papa's friend Holly brought us even more books -- I like the friends in the Jungle one very much -- Tomas is still deciding which he likes the most. We also played on the playground by Watertower with our friend Lili and Pippi. And we played with Beatrice at Gudrun's as well - Brian's daughter and Tomas really got along - she is very good at sharing. Pippi was bigger so Tomas was a bit nervous but that was good because he always takes my toys and I scream then.

Tomas: Well okay sorry I will try to not take your toys but Papa says 11 month old have no impulse control so when I hear No in German (NEIN) from Mama then I laugh and so do you. It's just that dirt tastes good and ooops I just lost my control - thank goodness for diapers.

Where is that Food!

This weekend Meme came to visit from Toronto and we shall have a picture very soon - she was a big help because Papa went on a business trip and Mama needed some adult company. Meme brought some fun presents - a cool Giraffe and a real cell phone for us to play with. Then we went to visit Oma and Opa Bob and everyone came to visit: Onkel Hans and Tante Walli, Opa Hans and Granny Janny, Uncle Stephan and Tia Karen, as well including our fabulous cousin Alexandra (she made us a sexy rocking horse when we were born) . Tomas enjoyed his BBQ chicken and Sofia loved all the attention and the fruit salad.

Right now we need to nap because we just had a grand time ast the Playground with Onkel Hans and Tante Walli, Yawn
