Last Full day In NYC

Today was a pretty mellow day. Reese and I went to a carnival down the street and then we played in a tent for the rest of the day. Here are a few pictures of our day.

I head back to California tomorrow night, I'll be there for 48 hours and then I am going to Seattle for two weeks. Its been so much fun hanging out in NYC and Washington D.C., but I am ready to head back to California!

See you again in August New York City!

Anna Pauline Holladay

I would now like to formally introduce Anna Pauline Holladay! She was named after both of my great grandmothers. Anna from my Mom's side and Pauline is from my Dad's side. We spent our day hang at the hospital. Reese and Anna were finally able to meet and they got along great! Every time Anna moved Reese started screaming with excitement! We then had a celebration dinner minus Brittany and Anna (they are still in the hospital till tomorrow morning). To top off another great day we had a beautiful walk home. Here are some pictures from our day.

Dont kill me for putting this up Britt

Introducing...

We are calling her the unnamed child. Yep thats right she still does not have a name. I am really hoping we will find out tomorrow.

Baby Holladay was born at 2:30 on May 26, 2011. She weighed in at 8 pounds 13 ounces and is 21 inches long. She looks like no one on Brittany or Ryan's side, BUT she does have my eyebrows. She is covered in hair from head to toe and everywhere in between. I'm in love :)

Brittany is doing really good. Labor ended up moving a lot faster than she had expected and was not able to get an epideral. OUCH! The baby was also had a posterior birth, which means instead of coming out face up she came out face down. This can cause a longer labor and more pain.OUCH! But now mommy and baby are doing great and are in the hospital resting!

Tomorrow Reesie gets to meet her sister!

Best Buds

Today we headed to downtown Manhattan and did some shopping and sight seeing around Pier 17. I purchased a few new shirts at The GAP and found a great place to take pictures. It was another hot day, but this time we came a bit more prepared... physically and mentally. All in all it was a great day. Here are a few pictures.. Hope you enjoy!

Here is the new, not yet finished, Freedom Tower. The Freedom tower is being built where the Twin Towers once stood. The skyscraper will tower 82 stories and is scheduled to be done in 2018.There will be many more buildings built on the premises, along with a memorial where guest can view the last remains of the Twin Towers.

Prospect Park Zoo

We went to the Prospect Park Zoo today. Little did we know that every school in Brooklyn would have the same idea. It was so hot today, it was somewhere in the 80s with a 100% humidity. The three of us didn't last long at the zoo, do to the heat and Reese's excessive need to eat. It was loads of fun to watch Reese look at all the animals. Here are a few pictures.. look at the excitement on her face! She loved it!

The Prospect Park Zoo

Does it not look like the zoo from Curious George??

Reese's favorite animal at the zoo: Lama

Sorry Birtt for the Belly shot, but looks at Reese's face. Pure excitement over seeing the lamas

We saw some fish

Played in some egg shells

We also pretended to be spiders!

Her favorite part of the day was snack time

Central Park Day!!

Todays agenda consisted of a trip to central park, a stress test, and homemade pizza! Have I ever mentioned central park man?? Well a few of my friends and I made up my perfect man and his name is Central Park Man. Good news is I found him... but instead of Central Park Man we call him bubble man. But here's the sad news... I think he fell in love with little Reese. As you can see from the pictures bellow they "hit it out of the park". I'm okay with it though, bubbles aren't really my thing.

Meet the Dakota. Why is the Dakota famous you ask?? Well this is where John Lennon was murdered. The building is across the street from Central Park where Strawberry Fields is. Strawberry Fields was dedicated to the singer after his song... (yep you guessed it)... "Strawberry Fields Forever". Its a beautiful part of Central Park. Below is a picture of the memorial.
