Scott, super-dad a la Park Slope. Part-exercise, part-practicality due to the snow, this is how we get around in Prospect Park.
We get to the playground and find 18 inches of snow blanketing everything!
So Daddy makes Kiki a snowman with personality, with parts from discarded christmas trees and random gloves found lying around.
Rowan caught red-handed with "babydoll".
MJ initiates Rowan into the wonderful world of African drumming.
Shane's giving Kiki some pointers on the drums. Kiki is a natural as a drummer, with her sense of rhythm and love of noise. God help me.
Dec 26th snowstorm: who needs a backyard when you can play in the middle of the street? They were perfectly protected from traffic by the two snowplows "stuck" down the street, blocking off the street to cars.
Our little Honda up to its neck in snow. And there it would sit for 2 weeks.
Christmas day: Dad shows Kiki how to apply lotion. Now, Kiki will smear anything lotion-like (yogurt, chapstick, lotion, soap) on her face and says "Kiki pretty."
Halmoni and Halbi gave Kiki a fun Kai-Lan treehouse.
Kiki and Rowan showing off their presents from Liz's mom:
Rowan happily hanging out in his new down jacket.
Early December: I'd been trying to get some good pictures of Kiki & Rowan together. It's a bit like herding cats, but it helps to put Rowan in a basket for support.
From very early on (~2-3 months or so), Rowan has been amazingly responsive to smiles. I think it took Kiki much longer to smile and laugh, but Rowan seems to really like to interact with others.
Random arms-length picture of the three of us spending an afternoon together.
This is Kiki's "Biiiiiig Smiiiiiile."
Awww, my sweet Row-Row.
Rowan Clause.
Maybe not so jolly...
Kiki seems to have a full-blown ear fetish. And Rowan strangely has a full-blown ear-being-touched aversion.
The "tunky monkey"
