We've seen some strange things lately while walking around the streets of New York.
This was the window display of a first-floor apartment we walked past last weekend.
Luckily they provided an explanation.
We've been getting ready for Christmas, with Annika dressing the part.
Here are a few outtakes from our Christmas photo shoot.
Yes, we let our baby play on the floor in our building lobby.
Aside from getting ready for the holidays,
we've just been staying close to home and keeping warm.

Annika has changed a lot in the past couple of weeks. She's now putting on weight well. We first tried feeding her solid foods on Thanksgiving. She wasn't so interested then, but now she's a pro. She gobbles down every fruit and vegetable we give her. She likes them so much that she cries between spoonfuls, which is annoying, but I'm glad she doesn't appear to be a picky eater.
She's getting a lot bigger, too. She was 13.5 pounds at her six-month checkup, and we've had to retire a lot of her clothes that she's outgrown. I crammed her into this outfit one last time and made Scott take pictures.
She tries to grasp anything and everything. At a restaurant last weekend she took my empty cup and put it to her mouth like she was going to take a drink.
I tried to get a picture of her wearing her Yankees pants, but she loved the texture so much she kept rubbing her hands up and down and so you can't see the logo.
She also loves to be held (and thrown) in the air.
Sometimes she'll play in her jumperoo for a very long time.
After awhile she checks to see how we're doing.
We also finally looked at our wedding pictures. Here are a few of my favorites.
