Update

We leave New York in less than 2 weeks to begin our summer adventure in Ireland.  Until we get there and get settled a bit, my posts may be a little less frequent.  I am sure the next 2-3 weeks will provide plenty for me to write about: the packing, the flight over there, the navigation to our summer residence (which has no address, only coordinates), the people we meet along the way, how Aiven fares, etc. etc. 

Here is a quick update on Aiven:

• Teething episode is in the past. Phew!  We managed to survive. We are left with 2 new beautiful teeth.  
• Aiven's old highchair did not work for us.  So, we bought him a new one.  Still working out the harness issue (too tight, then too lose).  I will write a blog post on the 2 highchairs soon.
• Aiven has become ticklish!  It started with Alex tickling his feet.  It is now blossomed to his underarms.  Alex and I love tickling him and I think we are probably driving him nuts.
• New foods he has tried and loved: Miso Eggplant, Strawberries & Plantains.
