Today I weighed 5.53 kilo and measured 62 cm long.

Little Genius

The day we returned from America, Daddy bought me a swing because I so liked the ones I tried on my visit. The swing plays music, and once in awhile the music would change and Mommy & Daddy wondered if I had pressed a button. Today the music changed almost constantly - every few seconds - and there was no doubt about it. I am a genius! OK, I'm not doing it on purpose, but that doesn't stop Mommy & Daddy from being proud.

Where Lolly goes, a beichaleh can't be far behind

At our Mommy and Me group today, everyone was amazed at how excited I was to look at a book. It kept me captivated. Grandma said they wouldn't have been surprised if they knew Mommy better, since Mommy so loves to read. My other favorite thing to do is to be outside. I don't even look at the mobile or other toys on her stroller because I am fascinated with the sky, the trees, the people, and everything I can see when we go for walks. It's just like Great-Grandma used to always say about Mommy - "What's Netanya doing, reading a beichaleh? She should at least bring it outside!" Great-Grandma Renee would have been proud!

Today I weighed 4.53 kilo and measured 57 cm long.

Meeting my Chicago family

Mommy and I flew to Chicago today. Saba and Yaya met us at the airport and were so excited to finally meet me! When we got home they took a long nap and Mommy was woken when Aunts Maya and Karen and soon-to-be Uncle Mendy came in. They took lots of pictures of the sleeping princess before they even got to meet me! Then there was an open house and people stopped by all afternoon and evening. The Aunties didn't want to say goodbye, but we have to go to our next stop. Tomorrow I am going back to Bubbie's for Shabbat. Plus Grandma is meeting us in NJ to spend some extra time with Mommy & me. Yay!

A Very Merry Unbirthday to Mommy

Grandma and Zeyde made an "unbirthday" party for Mommy. Great Aunt Ruthie, Nachama, the Lehmanns, the Hochbaums and Mommy's friend Miriam came for a mint chocolate chip Carvel ice cream cake. (I slept through the whole thing.)

Here I am getting a bath with Mommy & Grandma after the party:

I can fly!

Today I went on my first airplane ride, to America! I was so well-behaved. Iwas awake for the first 2 hours of the flight (since my "normal" bedtime is around 3 am) and slept the whole rest of the way, waking up only to eat. I even went a whole 5-hour stretch - a record!
Great-Aunt Sue and cousins Eli and Denny met us at the airport, even though it was 5:00 am. They drove us from Newark to Cherry Hill, where I met my Bubbie and Saba Raba.
