Mum's planning your birthday party...dad cant wait get home and we love you so much Euan x x 

21st October 2012 (aged 10 months)

currently in Munich,10th Sept 2012.

Euan, this diary day is for you...today you woke us up around 7am with the biggest cheeky smile ever. We set out with you chilling in the ergo. We ate brekkie from Prêt (moms favourite) sitting outside the NY Public Library. I sang the ghostbusters theme tune (bustin makes me feel good) whilst you looked for people to flirt with. The park warden came over and said you were gorgeous. You knew it. And this was only the beginning. We went up Empire State Building, pretty much every member of staff wanted to either eat your toes or tickle your belly, some tourists also spent more time looking at you than the $25 view. Those that ignored you soon came around as you shouted on them for attention. After your feed and snooze in Madison park, we moved on to Chelsea market via the high line. I'm skipping details but lets just say a lady asked you on a play date, a NYPD cop said you were the cutest thing ever, and a glammed up granny finally stole you away from us for a cuddle. All the time you smiled, drooled and made bababa noises. Chelsea market was amazing, mum had a frozen chai latte (with brain freeze) and I simply perved at the lobster and fresh fish. It was super hot today 32C so we sprayed you with water a lot to cool you down, your reaction was hilarious. Jumped in cabs to avoid the sun, you played with the door lock. We had a great day but we need to talk about this flirting. You need to be more discreet, and maybe don't flirt with cops. Love you m&d x

Late brekkie in Gregory's coffee then took the bus from Madison up town to 83rd st. ($2.25 pp coins only, friendly drivers and easy with babies...much better than cabs or subway). Euan flirted with several ladies on the bus. Spent the afternoon in the amazing Metropolitan museum of art...waw...what a place. I'm not in to museums or art or metropolitans...but this place is special, something for everyone. They have a suggested entrance fee but it is well worth the full donation. They really put a lot of effort in to the setting for each segment, it makes you feel like you're in Vienna, ancient Egypt or wherever! Really classy with super friendly staff. Euan flirted with pretty much everyone in sight. If you have kids use the ground floor entrance...more space for feeding and stretching out. Another walk back thru central park taking in Alice in Wonderland and another few crazies. (wellies, shorts, shirt and tie, and a bowler hat). I wish I could wear that shit.

Long but interesting walk (great people watching) back down thru Madison Ave. Euan attracting a load of attention from the friendly New Yorkers :)
