Elise is 4 months!

July 27, 2010

Elise turned 4 months on July 14th! Happy 4 month birthday, little girl! Elise is no longer the sleepy little peanut she was in her earliest weeks. She now weighs over 13.5 lbs and everyday cracks us up with some new “activity”. Whether it’s with her big smiles when we come in to get her [...]

Brooklyn Moms: Where You At?

May 21, 2010

Before I had Elise I didn’t know any Moms in our neighborhood. Sort of surprising considering we live in Park Slope, perhaps one of the most kid populated neighborhoods in NYC, but I suppose our focus was more on eating out, happy hour, traveling, work and our dog (Hi, Sash!), so we didn’t really have [...]

Does Elise Need Denim Diapers?

May 19, 2010

Marisa just sent me an email she got from Target featuring baby denim diapers. For serious. How hilarious are these? I’m pretty sure they are 100% ridiculous, but is there any chance they are at all cute in person? I can’t tell from this photoshopped baby image below.

A Street Fair for Foodies

May 16, 2010

As we’ve said before, the 5th avenue street fair in Park Slope is one of the best street fairs in NYC. It’s not of these zeppolle, mozzareppa disgustingness street fairs (well, it is a little bit, but not totally), it’s a street fair for people who love food. And thanks to all the great restaurants [...]

Little Peanut at Two Months

May 15, 2010

Elise is two months old now! I can’t believe how fast time has gone by so far. It feels like it was just last week that we were driving over the Brooklyn Bridge to get to NYU to have this cute little peanut. But now she’s 8+ weeks old and she is doing great. She’s [...]

The Meaning of a Name

April 10, 2010

Lots of folks have asked us the origin of the name Elise Ariadna and I realize I didn’t mention in the last post why we picked that name. We picked Elise, as it’s a derivative of my Mom’s name: Elsie. My Mom was actually named after her Grandmother Elise, so we decided to go back [...]

Introducing our Newest Team Member: Elise Ariadna Rainert

March 28, 2010

Two weeks ago, on March 14th (Pi Day!), we welcomed our daughter Elise Ariadna Rainert to our family! She weighed 8 lbs 2 oz and measured 20 inches when she arrived at 11:09 a.m. We couldn’t be more excited to have such an awesome addition to our family. If you’d like to see more photos [...]

Sasha and her Peeps

March 5, 2010

I am working from home for the week, so I got to meet Sasha’s friends that she walks with everyday and whom I read about in the Daily Poop (the note the walker leaves each day) when I get home every night. Mobile Mutts posted a photo of their walking crew back in September; above [...]

2009: The Year in Photos

January 2, 2010

We’ve admittedly been bad bloggers this year. Between Alex’s own UX blog and my (newish—I guess I can’t claim that a year later) job, we’ve been too busy to maintain our personal blog this year, but we didn’t want to have an entire gap on this site for 2009, so here’s a photo recap of [...]

The last 7 months (my pregnancy post in a nutshell)

As most of y’all probably know by now, Alex and I are expecting a baby this March! Woop! We’re super excited and have been busy getting life in order so that we can focus on our new family member without many other distractions this Spring. When we found out in the summer that we were [...]
