Too young to play doctor....

Rollin NJ Style -

Here I am rollin NJ style this weekend hangin with Uncle Jacob and Aunt Mika....

My Mom got "Fermished"

On Sunday while apple picking mom got a little too excited about using her picker. Could she have a future in apple picking? She does like the fruit...a lot.

In the midst of her frenzy she lost the camera containing some pics that really should have made their way to the blog. Captions and pics would have included:

-Me in my orange puma outfit from the Leiboviches...cause they know thats how i roll..

-Me trying to climb out of my crib. Mommy pretended not to freak out.

-Me eating apples...lots of apples in the Baby Bjorn with Dad. Dad can no longer stand up straight. I guess I passed the 20lb. mark.

Anyway, I'll be back soon. Tune in... Manny B!

Excuse me...

Manny and Mika review Rosh Hashana dinner...Uncle Jacob just had to interupt.

Listen...he's just a "swinging" kind of guy...

...what can you say...?

Manny Rules the playground....

6 Months!

Manny- Happy 6 month birthday. We love you more than words can say...Mom & Dad

The Finer Points of Dispersion Trading

What the hell is that anyway....snooze!

"What's your sign"

Manny:"...so Beila...mom tells me your a pisces and two days older than me....you know i'm a pisces too...what do you think that means?"
Beila: "I think it means your parents and my parents both had a few too many margaritas on the same weekend"
Manny: "what's a margarita"
Beila: "how do you not know that? your mom is probably drinking tequila while she writes this "
Manny: "can i buy you a drink beila? hey mom....two margaritas on the rocks hold the salt"

Then...
... And Now

More eating...cause we just can't get enough...

YUM!

Market Conditions

Mommy and Manny discuss Manny's investment portfolio. This is serious stuff. Manny asks mommy about "statistical arbitrage." Mommy says she suffers from "innumeracy" you better ask you dad. All our important conversations happen while wearing crocodile pajamas.

White Plains Jazz - why we love this picture...

So...in the corner over there is my friend Tanner w/his dad. Tanner and I play all the time, and by "play" i mean he naps then i nap and occasionally I sit on him if he is playing with my toys.
Mommy over there seems to have forgotten about me as she yaps away. She does that sometimes.
The cute girl in the middle in the stroller there is Noa. She's talking to her imaginary friend. Thats cool...

Watch out Valerie Bertonelli-

Weight watchers called and they want Manny. He's charismatic, adorably pudgy and somebody we can all relate to...

I'm with the Band...lers

Ole! That's right...it's Manny jamming out with his Maraccas. Watch out Partridge family! The kid has rhythm...whatever I'm his mom...

I LOVE FOOD! (As if you couldn't tell....)
