Another Wedding!

I'm such a party animal! I went to another wedding! This week our friends Michal and Sam got married and I had so much fun.

Most of the time my friend Nechama held me...

 

And my friend Toby from America wanted to hold me but i was a little cranky...

 

So Ema and Abba held me instead!

 

Mazal tov Michal and Sam! 

Uncle Dani's a good babysitter

This week while Ema and Abba are packing up our apartment I have been lucky enough to get to play with so many of my friends. Yesterday my friend Talia E. (Rivki's cousin) took me out to run errands, and last night Auntie Lissy took me to play with Rachel F. and Dyonna G. and then we went for a long walk!

But best of all, I have had Uncle Dani around to play with. And even though I was in a bit of a bad mood, I still had alot of fun.

This is Uncle Dani splashing with me in the bath:





And this is Uncle Dani takng a nap with me:



Thanks, Dani, for helping us out! 

I went to a wedding

This week I went to my friends Sareet and Michael's wedding. I was a bit kvetchy so Ema couldn't take too many pictures. This is the only one Ema got - it's Auntie Kimmy's cousin Yael holding me!

  

My week with Nani

This week has been a very long crazy week for all of us! Ema and Abba bought me a very BIG house and a nice new car! Ema says we are moving to the new house a week from tomorrow. Our car is so smooth and puts me to sleep almost every time I ride in it!

Thank G-d I have had my Nani here this week to stay with me while Ema and Abba run all over the place!

 

I love when nani gives me a backrub!

 

 

Nani says I am so yummy in my diaper!

  

My friend Naomi

Yesterday I tagged along with Ema and Nani and went to see my friends Naomi and Mike. They are going to be our new "neighbors" in Efrat. (Neighbors is in quotes because they live all the way on the other side of Efrat!)

  

So good to see you Nani!

I missed you! Thanks for coming to see me! We miss you, Saba, Zeidie and Savta!

  

I'm ready to eat and drink!

Besides staring at all kinds of food on the table, and reaching for food on my parents' plates, I also decided to try drinking from the cup my Ema uses when I'm in the bath!

 

 

Mmmmmm....tastes like soap! 

Shluffy time

I love falling asleep in my Ema's arms while she is singing to me.

  

  

My friend Gedalya can SIT!

I couldn't resist...

This is my friend Gedalya (who I haven't met yet) sitting all by himself! I can't wait until I can sit!

Have you seen my cluster map?

Ema found this great thing called a cluster map (see left side of the page). Instead of counting how many hits my blog gets, each day my map shows me where in the world all of you are visiting me from. It's fun to check and guess who's visiting me from where!

This is how I figure:

~ Israel,NJ, NY, and Baltimore are easy!
~ Brooke is checking from Texas
~ There's a big dot in the midwest which makes me think Uncle Ricky is checking from Chicago and Heidi is reading in St. Louis
~ Someone is reading from just above Florida...could it be the Landman's in Atlanta??
~ Savta already told me she forwarded my blog to Rochelle in Toronto so she gave that one away!
~ There's someone checking me out in the carribean which I'm assuming is Aunt Aliza's friend (and our friend, too!) Jenny J
~ Dalia, Yoni, Elyakim and Sareet seem to be checking us out in London - and they just got there!!

But I haven't gotten seattle, yet, and I surely can't figure out WHO THE HECK IS CHECKING IN SPAIN???

And who, pray tell, is in INDONESIA???

Any insights would DEFINITELY be appreciated! Feel free to comment (in the comments section) and tell me who you are and where you are checking from (and how you found us)!

Anyway, wherever you are, thanks for checking up on me and my family.

Luv,
Netanel

Professional Pictures???

Not really, but these are a few [adorable] pictures Ema took of me on what might seem to be a professional background but is really a couch's slipcover...

Go forth and print, Grandmothers!!

(Ema's favorite is the first one:)

 

 

  

Ema jumpin'

Thanks to Nani who sent us this picture of Ema jumping when she was a baby:

 

Now I know where I get it from... 

Welcome Home!

Today our family went to Ben Gurion Airport to meet the Nefesh B'Nefesh flight that came in today.

We went to greet cousin Tani (Erica) and our friends Shoshi and David. Turns out they all sat next to each other on the plane!!

Firstly, I learned that this is a plane:

 

This is Shlomo and Tani:

 

This is me with Tani (she's an oleh and I'm a guest):

 

This is Ema and Tani:

 

This is our family with Shoshi and David. We are so happy that they are living their dream of coming to live in Israel. We are thrilled to have them here and are uber-excited that they will be living across the road in Neve Daniel.

 

During the welcoming ceremony my Ema and Abba talked to Tani and Shoshi and David (among other random people they saw that they knew).

This is What I did during the ceremony:

 

Saba, aren't you proud?

Anyway, a warm welcome home to all the new olim!

My parents know how you feel (even though I don't since I'm a sabra)!&

Rolling Around

Yesterday I started rolling from my back to my tummy! Everyone got so excited! Ema whipped out her handy-dandy video camera and started taping. At first she didn't think I was going to do it again, but I did!



Ema found me like this when I rolled over again:

 

Then I wouldn't stop! This rolling over thing is fun! Wish my Ema and Abba luck!

Rabbi and Mrs. H.

Today we had a lovely lunch with Rabbi and Mrs. H. (H is for Hiliwitz!), Ema and Abba's friends from Washington Heights.

 

First I sat on Mrs. H's lap and ate her fingers...

 

Then I played with Rabbi Hiliwitz and found a new game to play...

 

Hmmmm...beards are so much fun to pull on! Better watch out, Saba!

Come back soon...maybe we can set up a playdate with Miri??? 

Lots of Jumpin'

I've been doing a lot of jumping lately! It's so much fun and it keeps me entertained for up to half an hour! It makes me sleepy and after jumping for a while I go straight to bed.

My ema and Abba think it's super-cute and can't stop taking videos of me (NOTE: SEE ALL THE NEW VIDEOS EMA POSTED TO THE LEFT!).

Here's Ema's favorite:



You can really see how I have inherited my parents' sense of music and rhythm!

You Can Dress Me Up...

This week my Ema and Abba got me dressed up in real clothes!

Because it's been so hot (and I get very very sweaty - wonder where i get that from?!) I have been wearing mostly onsies - except on shabbat when I sometimes wear overalls!

But this week I got to wear my first pair of jeans and today I wore shorts and a tee-shirt.

 

 

All I have to say is clothing is lots of fun to suck on!! 

These Shoes Were Made For Jumpin'

These are my new "sneaker socks" that my Nani sent me. They look alot like Yaffa Tova's Mary Janes.

 

I like to wear them when I jump in my jumper. 

Meeting Auntie Robyn and Uncle Bruce

Today I met Auntie Robyn and Uncle Bruce for the first time. They were so much fun to play with.

 

Bruce made funny faces and sounds and Robyn held me like the expert grandmother that she is.

 

Oh! What a nice family picture!

 

Thanks for coming to see us!!
