While Cole was attending his business conference, Baby and I hit up the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) for a little mother/son date. I loved spending time with my baby boy in Midtown Manhattan!
We saw so many amazing pieces. Here are a few favorites that caught my eye…can you name the artist?

Baby R crawling around the museum and looking out the window over the sculpture garden. Baby boy garnered lots of attention from other museum patrons. There were at least 15 different people who came up to take a photo of him crawling around the museum! Did you know New Yorkers LOVE babies? I couldn’t believe how many people – complete strangers – stopped to say ‘hi” to baby R on the street, in the stores, on the airplane, etc. Much to my surprise, we found Manhattan to be such a family-friendly and baby welcoming place!

Bethesda Fountain at Bethesda Terrace, with the Angel of the Waters statue. The statue references the Gospel of John, which describes an angel blessing the Pool of Bethesda and giving it healing powers. The fountain commemorates the Croton water system, which first brought fresh water to New York City in 1842:
