Trouble in Blogger-land

Hi All,

Sorry there haven't been ny new pics. We are having a bit of technical difficulty using the picasa picture upload program that we had been using for the blog. Really it's the blog-host's fault, but nevertheless it has become almost impossible to upload pictures.

We are looking for a solution and will keep you updated!

Love,
Netanel

P.S. After 2 weeks I've finally started sleeping at night!!

Play date with a pretty good girl

First thing when we got to America, I had a play date with Yaffa Tova. It was so good to see her and cousin Rachel!

 

My first flight

On October 26th, Ema, Nani and I flew to America to meet all my great-grandparents and new friends and family. I slept for most of the plane ride which mademy Ema happy! We had a great time!

This is me playing in the seat next to Ema...

 

This is me sleeping in my bassinet...

 

And this is me wearing my airplane crown that my gannenet, Veronica made for me...

 

Flying is fun!

We're Back!

Hi Everybody!

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, but we just got back from my first U.S. tour and I'm so happy to be home! I had a great time seeing my Savta and Zeide and Nani and Saba and meeting all of my great grandparents and aunts, uncles, and cousins, and friends! Unfortunately, we did not get to see everybody and we are really sorry. But hopefully we'll get to see you soon (come visit!)

Liitle by little we'll get all the pictures up and when we do, feel free to peruse at your leisure- from the plane ride to seeing family and friends - and enjoy!

Between the jetlag and my 3 new teeth, I haven't been sleeping much at night since we came home. That means my Ema and Abba haven't slept much either. So forgive them for any spelling mistakes or if they forget anything :-)

Standing in my crib!

This is me standing in my crib! I started standing over the past 2 weeks while Nani and Saba were here and I have been getting better and better at it everyday!




(This is Nani trying to tickle me to make me smile!) 

How advanced am I?

Look at me go!!

This posting...

Is brought to you by the number 2....

 

Thanks to Saba and Nani for playing with me on my numbers mat!
  

Visitors for Sukkot

Over Sukkot we hosted so many friends in our new Sukkah!

First, some of Ema and Abba's friends from Penn came over to celebrate the aliyah of Shoshi and DC (a little late)...


(From left to right: Dov, Abby, Netanel, Adina, Shoshi, DC, Jon, Talia, Yonatan, Yaakov, Moshe, David Z., Elana, and Binyamin)

Then Sherry and Saul came to visit Nani and Saba in our Sukkah...


Then we had dinner with Shmuel and Nicole and Reuven and Nechama...


We love having guests in our new Sukkah and new home! Come back to visit soon! 

Look at me sitting up!

While Nani and Saba were here I conveniently learned to crawl and sit up! This is me sitting in my pack n' play playing with my blocks.

  

Eating with Saba

While saba was here he fed me alot. We ate vegetables, bananas and rice cereal together!

  

Here is a video of saba feeding me:

Building our new Sukkah

Last night after Yom Kippur, Ema, Abba, Uncle Dani and I built our new Sukkah.



I even helped!



I'm going to be very handy one day!


 

Shana Tova!

A happy and healthy new year to all our friends and family!

These are a few pictures of the things I made in my Mishpachton for Rosh Hashana to give to my Ema and Abba .

First, Veronica, my Gannenet, had to put a little sugar at the end of the shofar so she could take a picture of me blowing the Shofar for the cover of my machberet:

 

These are pictures of the pages of my machberet. They didn't come out so great since they are laminated pages.

(a jar of honey)

Granted, I don't really know how to make things, so I'll explain.

Veronica knew that there are some things that my friends can do but I can't (like put stickers on paper, color with markers/crayons, finger paint, etc.). So she put me (in my diaper) on a big piece of paper and let me squirm around the paper and "body paint" in non-toxic bath paint! She told Ema that I had so much fun I didn't want to stop!

This I actually did make for Ema and Abba! You might say I left my mark!

 

A shana tova to all!

I can sit!

This is me with my Abba sitting on the couch:

  

Our new house

Here are a few pictures of our new house. This is the living room and kitchen area. We'll send more as we furnish! In the meantime you'll just have to come visit!

 

 

 

 

 

It's feeding time!

This week Ema fed me real food for the first time! Yummy veggies!

 

 

I just got this high chair this week! It's fun to sit in even if I'm not eating!

 

After I'm done eating my vegetables, I like to chew on my spoon for dessert.

 

But I REALLY don't like getting cleaned up!

 

I'm almost crawling!

I am almost crawling! Look at how I can move around! I stick my tush up in the air and push off on my feet while Ema prays that my face doesn't hit the floor! IT'S SO MUCH FUN! My Ema and Abba set up a blanket for me to crawl around on but I am off of my designated play space within a few seconds!

Take a look:

More visitors!

This week I made 2 new friends...

First, I met Tani, my Ema's old friend. We were so happy to have Tani over. She was our first guest in our new house!Thanks for coming!

 

This is me with my friend Phyllis. It was so good to see her! Looking forward to seeing you soon!

 

In other news, Ema, Abba and I are coming to visit in the states in late October/early November! We will primarily be in New Jersey/New York and Baltimore and we can't wait to see everybody! 

In our new house...

This is a picture of my Abba and me on our new couch in our new house. Ema says she will hopefully be posting pictures of our new house tomorrow.
