Just felt the need to post some photos of our cute little guy. He’s having a ball with the push-cart thingy our friend Jan gave him.

Sammy Update
The little guy just continues to amaze. As of last week, we’ve officially entered the world of Cheerios and other solid foods, and boy is he enjoying them! It’s been great to watch as he can amuse himself for 30 minutes at a time eating them one-by-one, and he’s also been getting into bits of chicken, bannana – whatever we put in front of him, really. Sam and I are spending lots of time bonding this month since Amy is playing umpteen Nutcrackers at the Fox Theater, so this has been great fun. New pictures coming soon.
Sam revisits NYC
After Thanksgiving, I had work meetings Monday through Wednesday
in New York, so Amy and Sam joined me in the city. Here’s a gallery of pics from that visit. Early plans to avoid Logan Airport on the Sunday after the holiday led us to book on the Amtrak Acela until a last-minute check on Saturday night revealed that the train provided no baggage check and limits riders to two bags per person. Not so helpful when traveling with baby Sammy. Booking the Delta Shuttle was quick, painless and no more expensive, and the afternoon at the airports was amazingly easy. The NY visit featured a walk through Times Square and past the Saks Fifth Avenue holiday windows, a date night for Amy and I at Carnegie Hall and Greek restaurant Molyvos, and a family dinner with the Golus/Trotz/Celedonia clans. The concert was wonderful – featuring the Boston Symphony Orchestra led by James Levine (who I spotted on our Delta Shuttle flight btw) playing one of Amy’s faves, Mahler’s 4th. The concert also featured Peter Lieberson’s ‘Neruda Songs,’ a haunting set of movements set to Chilean poet Pablo Neruda’s love sonnets. And the vocalist was Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, the composer’s wife, ‘natch. The New York Tims reviewed the concert’s premiere the previous week in Boston. We sat with Amy’s teacher Julie Landsman, principal horn of the Metropolitan Opera (also conducted by Levine). She’s a peach of a person, and it was great to finally meet her.

Sam Update
I’m late in posting several important Sam updates. First of all, he had his second haircut the week before Thanksgiving. This time, we went much shorter, and boy does he look cute. His hair had been growing like wildfire, so we figured we’d avoid monthly haircuts by being a bit more aggressive this time around. In other news, we have TEETH! We suspect that this has been the cause of Sam’s recent nighttime fussiness, but he seems to be on the rebound. He now has two of his lower front teeth poking out, and continues to love to chew on anything he can get his mouth on. ON a related note, Julie convinced us to let him try a Cheerio while we were in Boston for Thanksgiving, which he sort of choked down. We tried the following day again, this time with the little cereal bits softened with a bit of formula. That went much better for Sam and his parents. And in a final bit of news, Sam actually slept through the night on 11/29 while we were in NYC. We’d had a very long day with him the night before (dinner with the Golus/Celadonia clan at Serafina) and put him down around 10pm. When we woke up in the morning we realized he’d slept all night Hoorah!
