Dressed for breakfast

Tutus are required at all formal breakfasts

Feeding himself

Ari at the end of a 5-oz bottle of milk he fed entirely to himself.

Quality sleep

Tovina really wants to cuddle with Ari. I gave in and let them fall sleep next to each other. 30 minutes later I find the setup you see in this picture. If you can't quite make it out then let me explain it to you: Ari has fallen asleep on his stomach and Tovina has turned herself 90 degrees so that her head is on Ari's well padded tush.
Another thing that may not be clearly visible is that they are both sleeping very soundly 'cause they apparently think this is comfortable.

Happy new years!

Ari's first new year's celebration. He may just have been the most stylishly dressed male in attendance.

Reading the torah

On the way home from synagogue Tovina read to us from her personal Torah.
You can see her in action here.

Mazel tots and other synagogue events

I just discovered that the Sunday event we have been attending at our synagogue has pictures. Wanna see more? Check out this.
 

Swaddled no more

I laid Ari down on his bed while I was getting his actual bed ready for him. He noticed his stuffed animal a foot out so away, scootched himself over to it, started sucking on it, and promptly fell asleep.
I think I could get use to this bed time routine.

Cousins playing together

Mommy can't count

Being an engineer I thought I had some mad crazy good math skills (which are still left reeling in the dust by actuaries, but that's a different story) so I was a little surprised yesterday to learn that I can't count to 2.

Cause that's how many teeth Ari now has while I thought we were still at 1.

Plague house

I'm a little surprised that the government hasn't shown up to impose a quarantine already. Here you can see plague vector 1 passed out on the couch. See that bucket next to her? She's been using it a lot. Way more than I thought someone her size could use such a thing.

We are making sure Tovina is staying hydrated and she is enjoying the extra TV time when she is not sleeping.

I'm just looking forward to her eventually, someday, if we're lucky, getting better.
