This past weekend we went to Kissena Park and Dresden got on a playground swing for the first time. They have these little ones especially for smaller children that are a little more secure that the regular swings. He was all smiles and giggles.

We went back to Colorado for a few days to see our friend Marcus graduate from CU. While we were there we got to check in on our house (it's still in one piece!) and visit our good friends. Dresden was ecstatic, not only did he have all of mom and dad's friends doting over him but he had other kids near his age to play with. He rarely gets to interact with other kids out in New York so this was a real treat for him.
He especially likes playing with his friend Quinn.
We caught Dresden drinking his sippy cup out of the side of his mouth, just like dad does.

We went to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens for the annual Cherry Blossom Festival (Sakuri Matsuri) that they host there. My cousin Kenny and his girlfriend Sandra joined us for the day.
Dresden got a kick out of all the colors. He kept trying to grab the blossoms whenever I'd hold him on my shoulders. I think he also enjoyed watching all the people he saw there. He's still not used to seeing large crowds of people so it's an entertaining experience for him.
The festival was a fun time but the food there wasn't that great, mostly cold bento boxes. Kenny tells me that the food at the Korean festivals are usually better.
Sushi pillow!

Dresden's first teeth are coming in! He's been cranky the past few weeks with teething pain. He has one tooth that has broken through and another is showing now. He's eating solid food several times a day now. He's not crawling yet but he's gotten really good at rolling around so we think he'll start anytime now.
A few weekends ago we went to the Bronx Zoo. He didn't really seem to notice the tigers but he liked watching the ducks that were walking around. He was also really interested in the monkeys.
Dresden threw his first temper tantrums this week. When he does get his way with his toys or if we're not feeding him fast enough he'll get angry and have a burst of crying and kicking. It's pretty funny. His hair is thickening back up. He had rubbed a lot of it off since birth but now it's all come back.
He's getting curious about everything, if you have a laptop or phone in your hands he wants to grab it. Give him a laptop and he'll pretend like he's typing.
He's also starting to like any toys that have buttons or keys
In addition to his solid food we're starting to introduce him to watered down juice, which he loves. He also tries to drink from our cups whenever he's sitting with us.
