looks like somebody just pupated. 

good times at dolores park. 

riley "flamingo-head" spade. 

dori models her fantastical feathered creation for a very impressed poopchick. 

no one inspires more belly laughs than sweet winnies. 

riley is very carefully taking all the wet clothes off the drying rack and shoving them in a paper bag.  

these young intellectuals perused the library and had a lively discussion about red fish vs blue fish - all before retiring for an early evening. 

sometimes you need a friend to share a snack with. 

faye turned two today. happy birthday! 

oh come on! 

it's hard to explain to a baby why the red blackberries just aren't delicious. 

a visit from great great aunt fran and great great uncle bob made the morning complete. 

these boot are made for walking (like a drunk robot.) 

kissing cousins! for real. 

riley liked to play "kiss the baby". 

in a shocking turn of events, calliope is still asleep. 

calliope is already very expressive with her hands. we've decided she has a bright future as a conductor. 

the botanical gardens also work for expending energy plus they have carp and turtles. what kid doesn't like carp and turtles? 

when the baby (and her parents) are sleeping the brooklyn museum is a great place to run off some extra energy. 

riley can't believe that his aunt sarah is calliope's mama. very confusing stuff. 

the trip out to brighton beach was extra tiring. riley takes a rest on a pillow of leftover pasta. 

great grandma edna is only slightly taller than rye these days.  

the fort greene slide is extra fast. just like everything in new york. 

a lot of people came to vist the baby. she just napped through it all. 

i think we have this same exact picture of nama and riley when he was two weeks old. 

special dean came to vist. cali thought he might have a nipple on his shoulder.  

grandpa francis and riley share the comfy window seat. 

riley's new cousin, calliope (ka-lie-oh-pea), is a champion sleeper. really, she could win a prize. 

a couple of goofballs on the train back to new york. 

riley needed a little help with his lobster. 

we celebrated katrina's 29th and rye's 17 month birthdays with a lobster dinner. 

what a poopchick. 

who can resist a few naked baby on the beach shots? not me. 

mimi and rye share a beach moment. 

three generations of mogielnickis with their mouths open. 

riley shares a little deck time with bop bop and great uncle thom. 

one last trip to the "bubbles" before special craig heads back to the big city. 

a flexible duo if ever there was one. 

nothing like a little relaxing beach time with special dean. 

turns out pots make a pretty good drum set. 

special craig has a tv in his apartment. riley isn't sure what all the fuss is about. 

riley is very serious about riding in the pt cruiser. 

nothing unfunny about rolling around on the floor. 

lila is very serious about juice.
