Tooth or Dare!

It's been a busy May around the Davidson-Rothman house! We had a wonderful Mother's Day - brunch at the River Cafe in Piermont with Jen, Jeremy and Bella, during which Josie proudly sank right into my hand... her first tooth! While I love her gummy smile, this monu-dental occasion was welcomed... as also the end of the Screamy Phase!! My wonderful gift was a massage and facial at a spa in Nyack.

Josie and I were then off to Michigan for a week - she did fabulously on the plane, though she showed NO interest in napping and only wanted to crawl all over me and the person next to us. Thankfully it was a short and uneventful flight. We had a wonderful week, which included a party at my parents' house to introduce Josie to everyone, a fun birthday dinner with Eugenie, and a great get-together with Annie and Amy and all the kids. Isabella has already grown into such a little lady, and Elizabeth, who amazingly was born on the same day as Josie, is adorable. Amy's children, Lindsey and Luke, are also growing fast. And great at sharing toys and snack puffs! On the way home we stopped at the outlet mall for some much-needed shopping. We took Josie to meet Great-Gramma Harriet and her Great Aunt Peggy, and topped off the visit with some Cottage Inn Pizza! Of course. Josie is already missing her Gram, but we had a wonderful visit.

Memorial Day weekend was busy as well! We spent much of the weekend working in the yard, planting and raking and trimming. We went to a great BBQ at Jen and Jeremy's. Sunday we had a delicious dinner at Travis and Neil's, and Monday we had a fun day in the park with Anne and Lew, Hilary and Todd and the girls, ending with a night of grilling with our new next door neighbors. Lots of new photos in the gallery!
