M's first plane ride!
I need my shades to hide from my fans!
Tony, Patti and Marissa at Central ParkWe recently returned from NYC to see my sister and her fiance. It was also M's first trip to the Big Apple. She tolerated the airplane ride about as well as any 16 month old would. Actually, she never sat still, back and forth between me and her daddy.
While in NYC, we went shopping, went to the Toys-R-Us in Times Square, and played in Central Park. M fell in love with a life size Dora the Explorer in Toys-R-Us!!! The second day we went to Central Park, we were having lunch at one of the park's entrance and Dustin Hoffman smiled at M. (I think he thought she was cute.)
Unfortunately, our wonderful vacation had to come to a screetching halt when Marissa woke us up at 5am on the morning we were to fly back to Chicago and home with a seizure. It was not only M's first trip to NYC, airplane ride, cab ride, etc., it also was her first ambulance ride. Luckly the doctors and nurses at New York-Presb Hospital were great! M had an ear infection and a temperature of 104 (not her highest). A day later, M was seen at the ER here in town for croup. Nonetheless, she is doing well now and is back to her old self! A terrifing moment, even for a NICU nurse!!!!!!
M is now 17 months and is a happy, active little girl. She keeps us very busy. She loves Dora the Explorer. NO....she is obsessed with Dora!!! And actually loves to mimic what mommy and daddy do. (Uh Oh!) For now, please enjoy the pictures! Hope you are enjoying the rest of the summer and the early fall.
