2008-11-22T19:18:00.000-08:00

My mom made this for my room. Cool, huh? She's pretty crafty...

Tummy Time!

2008-11-22T19:08:00.001-08:00

Tummy time is fun. Also, it is good for drooling.

Babies for Obama

2008-11-05T17:11:00.000-08:00

I'm all about Change We Can Believe In. In fact, I was an Obama supporter before I was even born, and went to hear him speak twice when I was in my mommy's belly. On Election Day I wanted to make sure nobody confused me for a republican.

Uncle Sam came to visit and we went and knocked on doors and reminded people to vote. It turns out there was no election for cutest baby, but my parents say I would have won if there was.

i've been busy!

2008-11-01T17:06:00.000-07:00

I've been pretty busy lately. So, I've haven't had much time to update everyone on my goings-on. For Halloween, I was a monkey and was in the Narberth Halloween Parade.

Granny's Birthday

2008-10-29T22:00:00.000-07:00

My mom and I went to New York for my Granny's birthday. My granny took me for a walk in my new rockin' stroller.

And my mom and I got her this cool candle for her birthday cake.

My new friend

2008-10-26T19:21:00.000-07:00

This is my new friend Emmett. His mom went to someplace called grad school with my dad. Emmett helped me with my binky and gave me a stuffed camera so I can practice taking pictures like my dad!

My Great Aunt Helen

2008-10-26T19:13:00.000-07:00

I went to my Aunt Helen's house today when my cousin Avi was in town for the Phillies game. Aunt Helen gave me a bottle, and then I took a nap on the couch!

2 months!

2008-10-13T10:57:00.000-07:00

Today I am 2 months old. My parents took me to the doctor, and Dr. Liz said I grew a lot and was doing great. Then she took some needles and stuck them in my leg which was NOT fun at all. But, I cowboyed up and stopped crying once my mom picked me up and held me for a while.
I grew 2 inches from last month, gained 1 lb and 7 oz and my head grew too. It was all very exhausting, so I think I will nap this afternoon.

Hello from New York Çity

2008-10-09T20:21:00.001-07:00

My parents brought me here for a little trip to visit my granny. I got to visit with her and my bubbe, rode in a taxicab and saw a famous woman named Liza Minelli. New York is pretty cool. Think I'll come back soon for another visit.

Good Morning

2008-10-09T20:18:00.000-07:00

The light in our upstairs bedroom is pretty cool in the mornings.

My belly is getting big. Count the rolls!

On mom's lap

2008-10-06T18:09:00.000-07:00

I love it here.

Bath time

2008-10-06T18:06:00.001-07:00

Much better than the sponge. That was cold. This is, well, more interesting and it chills me out in the evening, when I can turn into a crankipuss.

Bed time

2008-10-06T18:04:00.001-07:00

So in the mornings I spend time in bed with the parents. I get quality sleep and snuggle time here.

Not so big now

2008-10-06T17:50:00.000-07:00

I am still this small. I weigh about 12lbs. and my head is still small.

My #1 Fan

2008-10-06T17:49:00.001-07:00

This is me with my neighbor across the street. His name is William. Apparently he liked my name so much that he asked his parents why his name couldn't be Ari Milo. Too bad for him.

I am AWESOME

2008-10-06T17:39:00.001-07:00

So Dad took these rockin' pictures of me.

And check this one out below, nice huh? Mom took it. Well, Dad was holding me and he told her where to stand and how to fill the frame, or something. I dunno. Alls I know is I look GOOOOD.

My First Trip!

2008-09-28T19:02:00.000-07:00

My parents took me away this weekend for a little trip to Cape May. My parents packed up the car with lots of stuff to make sure I (or they) was well equipped - pack and play, my bathtub, a gazillion diapers and lots of changes of clothes - and off we went.

I sat on my mom's lap while she ate some seafood
And I played with my dad in our B&B, Pharo's

I really liked Pharo's. They were so nice to me, and kept telling me how sweet I was!

We did a lot of walking around Cape May and by the water too. I met Alicia who was so nice - my dad photographed her wedding last year. My parents really liked eating at The Blue Pig at Congress Hall. They liked it so much that they got me a onesie. And my mom also got me some books at Whale's Tale and really cool outfits at Happy Baby. But I was happy to get home, because I have visitors coming tomorrow for Rosh Hashanah!

A party? For me, you shouldn't have.

2008-09-16T17:46:00.000-07:00

So my mom took me to her workplace where they threw a party of sorts for me. I got clothes and some other stuff and they had a cake. If I'm anything like Dad, I'll love me some cake soon enough.

This is my mom's boss, Jane.

Portrait subject

2008-08-30T12:52:00.000-07:00

My dad keeps pointing this big thing at me that makes clicking noises. Its been happening a lot, but Mommy explained that Daddy is a photographer and that this is going to happen for the rest of my life.

Sometimes my mom takes the pictures too.

Bath Time

2008-08-26T20:00:00.000-07:00

My parents like to give me these things called "sponge baths". For me, the jury is still out.

I guess its alright when they wrap me up in the warm towel and I get to eat afterward but its not my favorite.

A little walk

2008-08-22T12:48:00.000-07:00

We all went for a walk today into Narberth. That is the town I live in. There is a downtown with lots of shops, and a playground. But today I just hung out at the playground since I'm still too small to play on the swings.

My parents say its a long road ahead...

Just thinking about it makes my sleepy. Time for a nap.

More Family

2008-08-18T12:39:00.000-07:00

My Me-Ma came to visit along with my Aunt Hillary, Uncle Carl and cousins Nicholas and Ally, all the way from Dallas. Here I am with Me-Ma
and with my cousins. I'm looking forward to playing with them when I'm a bit bigger.

Day Two

2008-08-14T22:00:00.000-07:00

Day One - Still Tired from the Move

2008-08-13T21:00:00.000-07:00

Ok, I didn't come up with "still tired from the move". A comedian named Steven Wright said that, but it's true!

After I was screaming, they bundled me up in lots of blankets and my dad and mom held me for a while. Then they took me away and made sure I was in good shape (yes!). By the time I got back to my mom's room, there were lots of people there to see me. But before I spent time with them, I cuddled with my mom.

And then my dad held me too.
Then I met my Granny
My Grandpa
and my Uncle Sam

I also met my Bubbe, but my mom can't find the picture right now.

I mostly slept today, but when my parents ordered Chinese food for dinner I was ready to eat, my Grandpa said it was "payback" for my mom, who apparently liked to disrupt Chinese food dinners when she was little too.

I'm Here!

2008-08-13T13:48:00.000-07:00

My parents have been waiting for me, but I was enjoying it inside, so they had to encourage me to come out. The night before I arrived, my parents had dinner at their favorite restaurant and then my mom sat around on the couch with Max the cat. Things won't be this quiet for a while...

On the way...

2008-08-10T16:02:00.000-07:00

So, things were going perfectly fine for me until Mom here decided to end my nice run on the inside. I mean, seriously, it's warm and cozy in here, what's so great out there. So she kept taking these walks which got me a bit riled up. All of a sudden it seemed kinda cramped in here. Not sure how things are gonna go at this point but apparently life as I've known it for the past 9 months or so are about to come to an end.
