15 weekszzzz - is that possible?

Ok so what did I do this week....

On Friday, mommie had a visitor that she used to coach with. Her name was Mandre. She played with me but only for a short time because mommie was in a rush to get to the medical school graduation! I can't believe all of my aunts and uncles are leaving me! Wahhhhahahaha!

I just met them 3.5 months ago and this is how they treat me?!?! Aunt Jennie, Aunt Jess, Aunt Karin, Aunt Cathy, Uncle Sol and so many more people are leaving me in the dust! I am going to miss them soooooo much. I was so proud of them! Listening to Cathy's graduation speech made me burst out in tears I was so happy. The salt water rivers wanted to run from my eyes but mommie said nooooo....so she took me out of my car seat! We went to the back of the theatre and watched from there. I would have preferred a better view, but, I guess it was better than nothing.

The whole thing was kind of weird though, if you ask me...I mean, it was nice to hear each of their names being called and given a prize, but why were they wearing such weird clothes?! I've NEVER seen anything like it! Not only that, but they appeared to give a secret handshake and then bent down to get a ribbon put around their neck?! What is that?! It looked crazy. Is that what the medievel times were lik?! Mom told me that whatever it was, it was a big dal, so congrats to all of them, I guess!

That night, I went to a party at Aunt Karin's house for Aunt Karin, Aunt Jess, Aunt Alex and Aunt Jennie. I had so much fun. I stayed up WAY past my bedtime and rocked out on the deck with all the ladies, obviously. Then I hit the point where I lose my shit. So, we just had to go home. I was happy to celebrate with all my ladies!

On Saturday, mommie and I went to "mommy and me yoga class" and it rocked! I loved meeting new friends and stretching. We even got to do the downward dog, it's the same thing Nemi and Dosa do every morning! I can't wait to go back.

That afternoon two of mommie's field hockey players that she used to coach came over. Zametkin and Revay! They a copious amount of fun catching up with mommie and I had a copious amount of fun when they talked to me and made me smile! How can a guy complain about more girlfriends?!

You are not even going to guess what I did that night, another PARTizzzzAAAY! This time it was at Uncle Sol's! I couldn't wait to see everyone especially JAZZ, his dog! It was so much - so many people held me, and rocked my face out to the band! I rocked out so hard that I fell asleep in Sol's room and I slept whilst mommie partied! I'm so glad I slept so mommie could enjoy it!

Sunday was relaxing. I slept in with mammasita and hung out with mommie all day! We did errands and talked about what life will be like this summer at camp. I can't wait!! Uncle Tater and Aunt Cathy came over with Huxley and the doggies played all day outside. I got really sad because it was the last time Huxley and Dosa were going to see each other for a very very long time.

Dad was gone all weekend outside Philadelphia for an ultimate frisbee tournament. I missed him so much that I made mommie show me pictures of him every night before bed. Once I saw his handsome face, I knew I could sleep tight. I missed him so much. I heard a rumor though, that he is going to stay in Rochester for the summer while I am in Maine?! I hope that's not true!!!!!


look at all the stuff to play with!

Happy Mother's Day! Yeah MOM!

It was Mommie's first Mother's Day on Sunday! Happy Mother's Day Mommie! You are the best! And Happy (BELATED!) Mother's Day to everyone out there! I know we are a lot of work and you deserve a lot of credit! Mommie I love you! I LOVE ALL MOMMIESSSS!

It was so much fun to celebrate in Syracuse with lots of Moms --- Grandma Black, Aunt Niki, Great Grandma Bolton, Great Aunt Janice and my cousins Sophie and Talia and Great Uncle Pat and Grandpa Black and of course Daddie and Mommie! We had so much fun with all the food and company! And the men cooked - daddie, grandpa, and Uncle Pat! I wish I could have helped but they said I wasn't man enough yet, whatever that means!?! You are never going to believe what happened to me! So I hadn't pooped in almost 72 hours - and for those of you that know me, that is not my usual. And so I ate a huge All-You-Can-Eat Buffet From Mommies Breast, and after I ate, I was sitting on Mommie listening to her and Aunt Niki talk when all of a sudden - ALL OF A SUDDEN! POW.. and POW, POW! Again. (nobody knew, I kept quiet, but it felt like bombs going off in my butt) I heard mommie say something like "I feel warm, I think he finally went." But I still just sat there and kept quiet. Then mommie looked down and it was everywhere!... all over my pants, down my leg, on my socks, and even on my neck! It was nuts and everyone took me to Grandma's bathroom and we had a party cleaning me up! It was so much fun! What a mother's day!!!

Thanks for putting up with all of my crap, literally!! HEE HEE!


Party in the bathroom!

A weekend in May...

On Friday Mommie and Daddie took me to their friend Erock's boyfriend's art show... (boy was that explanation confusing!) I got to walk around and look at all these cool (weird?!) pieces of art. The first question in my life that I cannot get an answer to, is, "What is Art?" Exactly.

Next Mommie and Daddie took me to the Lilac Festival where there was some serious music going on. When we got near the band I could actually feel the drummer hitting my ear drum with his drumstick, and that really FREAKED me out. Needless to say, I wasn't that happy about it, so we went to the food tent which smelled amazing. I watched mommie and daddie down some Indian food. I had my fix later via the milk of the breast.

On Saturday, we wanted to go back to the Lilac Festival but on our walk over, shit got crazy. There was wind in my face, water hitting me directly on the eyes, and a sea of gray clouds engulfing the Black family. I guess mommie and daddie didn't like it because we sprinted back to the car. Instead, we did what any American would do, and went to the mall. The highlight of the mall, besides seeing lost of people, was the delicious cookie that daddie got. He almost touched some sweet frosting to my lips but mommie stopped him. Thanks a lot, mommie. I really wanted a bite of thaaaaaat!

On Saturday evening, we went to a fiesta Mexicano with all of daddie's friends from medical school. It was at Aunt Jennie's secret garden (I don't know why she calls it that because her garden is actually not a secret, because I know about it....I guess it just is? We danced, had libations, mexican food, and then some of the adults played pin the tail on the donkey. Dad wouldn't let me watch because it was "the adult version." I don't know what that means either, but I will find out one day. I wiiiiilllll!

Aunt Ang came to babysit me Saturday night so mommie and daddie could go to Aunt Adrienne's house to meet all of her friends. Thanks Ang! I was good the whole time and hardly let out a peeeep!

By the way, it's been 48 hours since I pooped! To be continued...

I'm older than 3 months!

I can't believe it is already May. I love the Spring. The air is full of pollen and dad sneezes all over me and it's just so glorious. I love being at the epicenter of a snot-storm.

Mommie keeps talking about camp...cam this, camp that, grass, lake, girls, all you can eat breast milk buffet and how exciting it will all be. I guess I can't wait. That souds like paradise! She says we leave so soon! Daddie can't come the entire time so I am really sad about that. I heard a rumor that I might be dating over 200 girls by the end of the summer, all at one time. Can that really be true? Really?!

So let's see. Guess what I did this past week. I went to New York City. The Big Apple. The City that never sleeps. And I partaaayed all night long! I went from Friday to Wednesday and it was fantastic! What is weird, though, is that I didn't even see one apple the entire time I was there. I now know why New Yorkers are thought to be so whacked out, for saying such crazy things, like the BIIIIIIIG APPLE! On Saturday morning, I took a walk with Daddie and Grandma Karen and Grandpa Mark up to meet Mommie. She was at a party for the new campers that were coming to Fernwood this summer. I got to meet the new campers!! I liked them all so much, especially the one that had brown hair. I also met Fritz, Christine and Emma - it was very exciting.

Then we walked and walked and walked and finally met Uncle Justin and Uncle Jason for lunch. The food looked good but I slept through most of it. Right before I went to the bathroom, I had a huge fart which ended up being a huge poop. When Mommie went to change me in the bathroom, the poop slid up my entire back - it was awesome for me and gross for mommie. Sorry for you mommie but glad for me, because big poops are the shit!

Post meal, I walked to the Hudson River with mom, grandma, and grandpa. Dad went to go see some friends and drink mint julips whilst watching horses run around a track. That sounds weird but I am sure one day dad will tell me why it's actually cool, and not weird at all. Later that day went to Amber for dinner, the food came out and everyone ate while I just stared at the ceiling first and then at the back of my eyelids. I'm like my dad and grandpa black and grandpa mark, we can fall asleep anywhere! Woot!

On Sunday, we went to the pool and I got to go swimming for the first time! Daddie took me in the water and IT FREAKED ME OUT! We went in, I cried, dad didn't accept my cry as truth, he kept me in, I continued to cry, he then accepted my cry as truth, and we got out. Dad's sister, Aunt Leah, and Uncle Jason came to visit later that day, and so did my cousin Daniel. I got to hug them and play them! Uncle Daniel told me all about what it is like to be THE MAN. Life skillz, that is what that guy gave me. I can't wait to see all them again! Want to move to the ROC?

On Monday, I had a playdate with Henry, who is only 3 days older than I am and Jacob who is 2 years older than me! Both of those kidz were giants compared to me! They were really nice to me even though I was their runt. Their mommies came to the play date too, it wasn't just guys night out...their moms were Aunt Alex (Henry) and Aunt Audrey (Jacob); they are both friends of mommie's from camp. We felt like celeberties the entire play date. It's like we were center court at the NBA Finals or something. It was photos after photos after photos.We took photos! It was to good to meet them!

Monday night Grandma Karen, Mommie, and I went to see my Great Grandfather - my POPPY! He held me and I snuggled with him! I hope I get to see him soon! He told me that I am the most handsome gentlemand his side of the Hudson. He said the most handsome gentleman on the other side of the Hudson is my daddie, obviously. That's where I get it from!

On Tuesday, we walked around all of New York and hung out with mom's cousin Elissa! I saw so many shops and people!

Then I got to give swimming another try. I don't know if it was dad just being too abrupt with me or that I was already used to the water, but this time it was the shizzzz. I love the water. It reminded me so much of what it was like to be a fetus. Baby Zane is happier than fetus Zane though, because baby Zane is obsessed with not being attached to a cord all the time! Jeesh! That tangent aside, swimming was great. I can't wait for camp so I can swim every day!

I was so sad to leave the No Apple on Wednesday but once again so excited to see Daddie and my sisters!
