More Beautiful Pics!

No comment necessary, just beautiful!

You gotta hand it to Dovid, he's nothing if not self-sufficient.

You can't really see it from this angle, but he is sleeping sitting up, leaning on his monkey.

Awww! Sleeping beauty.

Fun, fun, fun boy!

Don't ask me what he is doing, but he sure is having fun. Yes, I guess if I updated the blog more often I would remember what he was doing in the pictures!

Dovid holding 'dasa baby'

Look, baby, book!

Just being so cute, as usual!

Long Overdue

Here are some long overdue pictures from HM's newborn days...

No, she's not screaming, she's yawning. It's tiring being a newborn, you know!

Isn't she just sooo cute?!?!

Aww! Brotherly love, Dovid is such a cute and caring big brother.

One of my personal favorite pictures... Won't the paparazi just leave me alone already?!?

Daddy brought home a rose (that the florist gave him when she heard we had a baby) and Dovid sweetly offered it to his baby sister!

So yesterday we finally got around to organising Dovid's toys, we put all the cars in one box, all the puzzle peices in another box and his toy plates in another box. After I had finished cleaning up the toys Dovid took the box of puzzle peices out and spilled it on the floor. He immediately said 'Dovid clean up' and put the peices back into the box.

Bless you, Baby!

I have realised that I have been trying to update this blog since HM was 6 weeks old (and probably before then too!), she is now 12 weeks old! She is such a sweetie-pie, bli ayin hara. Sometimes I look at her and I see her just looking at me and smiling. She loves it when people talk to her (don't we all??) and smiles and gurgles back. She has been rolling over for a while now, when she rolls over, she has this confused look on her face, as if to say, 'what just happened?'

B'h things are getting much better between Dovid and HM (well, most of the time). We've been through the hitting phase, the screaming in babies face (yes, it does terrify her), the head-butting stage and things are hopefully beginning to settle down. He is incredibly sweet to her. He likes holding her - and picking her up! He also loves doing 'mile baby' where she sits on his tummy and he tries to make her smile. When he sees her nose running, he brings a tissue for her. The other day when she sneezed he said 'bless you, baby'.

Today we went to the park and Dovid built his first ever sand castle. The park also has this really big slide, which he started to climb the steps too, I offered to come up with him, but he said 'no, too big' and I should 'wait here'. He got to the top and I thought he would get scared and want me to come and rescue him, but no he went down the slide by himself, and he enjoyed it too! Today was also the first time he went on a slide and really enjoyed, usually he gets scared and wants to come right off.

He's really independent too, everything is 'I do'. When did my baby grow up? Sigh!

Chanuka Same'ach!

Dovid is really enjoying Chanuka this year. He made his own menora, which he lights next to Daddys. He loves singing Chanuka songs, his favorite songs are 'dreidel, dreidel, dreidel' and sevivon, sov sov sov! and he also likes to dance to Maoz sur. He was delighted to call his grandparents to wish them a 'happy chanuka'
