Here is what we were up to the beginning of May, before Bergen was born. Charley's hair is getting curlier and curlier since it is getting so humid here. I love it! It is actually really long, but since it is so curly you can't tell. In the bath, it goes down to the middle of her back!
One of our favorite things this summer so far has been going to see the water fountain. Charley loves it since she can swing on the metal bar and watch the water. We also walked over to the Botanical Gardens one day and saw the cherry blosoms in full bloom. They are so pretty and one of my favorite times of the year!

Stoop stopping for days! Whenever we go on walks, Charley loves stopping at each stoop and walking up the stairs and checking things out. It's pretty cute.
Spencer and I had a little date night pre-baby and to celebrate him working so hard. We went to a restaurant in Central Park called Tavern on the Green. It was really good food and a very fun ambiance. Afterward we took the subway to one of our favorite dessert places called Cones. It's a gelato infused ice-cream that is to die for!!
Pre-baby, there were a few of these tests that had to be done to make sure baby was growing and healthy. Charley usually came with me and did so well entertaining herself while I laid on the bed being monitored.
38 weeks!
Spencer took a half day few weeks ago and went to the park with us. It was so fun to have him there and play with Charley! We are so lucky that his work is so flexible and that he is able to take time off whenever to be with his family. Charley loves seeing him all day everyday.
We also finally made it to the Manhattan Children's Museum and it was amazing!! Charley loved it and Spencer and I loved watching Charley. It was so fun seeing her huge smile as she went from each exhibit and tried out different places. Her favorite was the bus she rode in and could steer! She loves buses and all transportation right now.. especially tractors!
Just a few pictures of our every-day life. Chalk drawing, grocery shopping, park visiting, and more stoop stopping.
I love that Charley loves to sit on my lap when I am sewing! She helps me sometimes by pressing the buttons and helping the fabric go through!
Right before Bergen was born, our wonderful neighbor offered to watch Charley so we could sneak away for one more date night! She sent us this picture while we were gone of Charley making herself right at home! For our date night we went into Chinatown and Spencer let me get a manicure while he walked around and got some cheap fresh produce. Then we went to this dim sum place called Nom Wah Tea Parlor that had amazing reviews. It was really good food too! We got lots of things to try out and our favorite were the fried dumplings. It was so nice to go out one last time and enjoy each other!
So happy we got to Skype with this missionary on Mother's Day! He gets home in August and I am so proud of him for serving a mission. He is the most positive and optimistic person I know.
Mother's Day
It is starting to get really hot here so a few weeks ago I made a mini pool with a tupperware that I had. I filled it with water and gave Charley a few toys and she was in heaven!
