He's Here...

So my little brother Aiden Lee finally arrived on Saturday, January 17, 2009 at 2:01 pm. My mommy had a very long delivery but her and baby Aiden are doing well. I spent the weekend with my grandma Phyllis and then my grandpa Phil. And now my grandma Ruti is here from Israel and we get to play every day when I come back from day-care. Baby Aiden is cute. I like to stroke his hair and give him kisses. I'm not so crazy about all the attention he gets, but I'll get used to it I guess. I also get really worried when he cries.



Here are a couple of pictures and you can see the rest if you click on our photo link on the right-hand-side

Will the Truck Break?

So mommy says this truck is not supposed to be driven by an adult but I really wanted Abba to ride it with me...

Playing Dress Up

I'm playing dress up with daddy's shirt...

The Belly Revisited and Some Liam Dancing

Our baby Nutterbutter is growing. My mommy's belly is getting really big... you can see for yourselves (at 36 weeks and 4 days)

















But now lets move on to more interesting things... like my dancing - I got some good moves don't you think? my moves video, you dizzy yet? video

Christmas Day

First of all, Merry Christmas to all my Christmas celebrating friends...


So it hasn't been the best Christmas for us. Yesterday they closed day-care earlier for Christmas Eve so I got to have my afternoon nap at home. It was a nice nap, but when I got up I had a fever. The night didn't go all that well either. My mommy made my daddy a nice Christmas Eve dinner but I had no appetite so I didn't really want to eat anything.


And this morning I didn't feel like doing much other than reading - my favorite thing after playing with cars and trains and trucks. So here you can view me read with my daddy...

Happy Hanukkah

Today was the first night of Hanukkah. Such a fun holiday! We went to a big Hanukkah party at the ice-rink. If course I was way too young to go ice-skating, but I had lots of fun running around in one of the empty rooms...


Here I am with Abba right before it was time to go home








And here I am being chased by Abba (video)

Reunited with my Abba (Daddy)...

Ah, my Abba is finally back home. The last three weeks without him have been very difficult on both me and my mommy. I was sick a lot and very angry that my Abba was gone and was having a difficult time adjusting. And my mommy is very pregnant and in a lot of pain. But now Abba is home and life is good again...










And there are also videos to show how much fun I got to have with Abba:

My 2nd Birthday

Tomorrow is my 2nd birthday and today they threw me the best birthday party ever at my Gan (Israeli day-care). My Savta (grandma) Ruti and my Doda (aunt) Osnat made me the best cake (and completely nut and sesame free) chocolate birthday cake in the shape of a chu-chu train. It was really cool and really yummy...


My Abba (daddy) made it back from Europe just in time for my birthday party so here are some pictures and lots of videos from the party


Here is my birthday cake

Feeding the Baby

Maybe this whole baby thing is sinking in after all... I found a little baby cat doll and a bottle that goes alone with it and I gave the baby a bottle. But for all other purposes, I refuse to acknowledge that I will have a baby brother any time soon... giving the baby a bottle video

Chocolate

So, I am almost 2 years old and my wonderful mommy has managed to protect me from the harmful effects of chocolate long enough. Today it was time for her to let her guard down a bit and of course I got to reap all the benefits. My cousins (Danielle, Amit & Roee) spent the night last night and this morning my cousin Roee got a piece of toast with this Israeli chocolate spread (the only kind that is actually safe for me to eat because of my allergies) and my mom assumed, correctly, that I would want to have exactly what he was having because I like doing everything he does. So she was aiming to prevent a tamtrum (I'm really great at those...) and made me a piece of toast with the chocolate spread. Needless to say I loved it and there's no going back to toast with just plain butter anymore for me.


Here we are, enjoying our chocolate (my first)...






Starting to feel a bit overwhelmed...
