We're growing UP!

After tonight's haircut:

Shai's party at maon:

And for good measure, Deb's birthday:

My New Toy

I'm One!

In the morning:

Eating cake!:

Shai has officially outgrown the size "infant" (4-10kg) cloth diapers. No, he hasn't hit 10kg yet, but he has woken up sopping wet for the better part of the last week. That was always the sign with Emmanuel that it was time to move to the next size diaper, and so we did. It's a bit odd, since the 5-9kg disposables are still HUGE on him, but we all know that different brands fit differently.

It's also strange to think that at one point he was too small to even get into them. I actually found 2 newborn size diapers (2-5kg) in a bag I was cleaning out this week. They are tiny! And even those looked huge when we first put him into them.

Sigh. They grow up too fast.

Riding, riding, riding...

It's Been Awhile

So here are some pics:

And a video:

Quick update

Sunday morning we dropped Kopul off at work, then we went to register Emmanuel for some activities. There are only 2 that the community centre offers that are age-appropriate, so on Monday afternoons (after daycare) Emmanuel will be taking Music (Kindermusic), and on Wednesdays he'll have "Sport" (Kindergym). I think all 4 of us will go (it's not so accessible by bus) but Kopul will accompany him on Monday while I sit with Shai and we'll switch for Wednesday (or I'll get a sitter for Shai on Wednesdays so I can go with ET).

Yesterday we went to see Nili et al. Somehow we inherited the pair of lovebirds they had. Emmanuel is entranced; I look forward to the time when he can help me clean out the cage and not just scoop out the food.

We saw the Morrisons this morning in the Old City, and will see the Gotliebs this afternoon in Ofra. Hopefully we'll get back from the bat mitzvah in time for me to go to the parents' orientation at the daycare (which was supposed to be Tuesday but was moved at 3:30 Tuesday afternoon). Although how exactly I'm supposed to do that with no sitter is not quite figured out.
