After the movers came and picked up all our belongings last Wednesday, we moved in with Danma and Danpa for the week. 4 adults, 2 cats and one baby in a 2 bedroom apartment made for an interesting week! Cale had lots of fun with Danma, and Danma made Mommy relax and do a few things for herself. Daddy was working in Chicago and setting up the new apartment (our furniture arrived on Monday) and Dan was traveling in Toronto.
Despite having his first cold, Cale was fully of gummy ear-to-ear smiles and little coos this week. He loves playing with his Danma and has also became an avid admirer of art. Whenever he is upset, Danma takes Cale into Danpa's office (where his desk has been converted into a changing table) and Cale immediately calms while staring at a colorful painting on the wall.
Cale loves playing on his playmat and staring at the mobile on his pram. He has also discovered his hand and enjoys stuffing the whole thing in his mouth and sucking away. He also likes getting fresh air (or, the closest thing to fresh in NYC ;-) so we went for long walks on the Long Island City waterfront everyday.
Cale had his first babysitting experiences this week...Danma spent time with Cale while Mommy had lunch with friends and went to yoga. Mommy and Daddy even had their first date night on Saturday! Next stop...Chicago! We leave tomorrow for a 14 hour drive from New York to Chicago. Wish us luck (calm cats and happy baby)!
