1:28 of random cuteness

These videos are shamelessly indulgent - just Paul, chilling out, sucking his fist, doing nothing except existing and being adorable. These videos will be dull and tiresome if you are not his target audience - but you know who you are, target people!

Shower Time

All that hard labor in the fields, mud wrestling, and clubbing has made Paul sweaty and dirty. So, it was time for a shower. Because we don't have a lot of hot water, he relented to shower with his father.

Paul is the cute one

Update and a few pictures

So, we've spent the last few days trying to recuperate from our big, busy weekend last week.

Paul had his first shower with Mommy, which he seemed to enjoy very much - more so than his usual baths. He'll try showering with Daddy next - ooh, chest hair to grab!!

Here's Paul ready to head-bang with the heavy metal bands:

Here's Paul in da hood, word. (Literally, in a hood.):

Paul chilling out with Mommy:

Grrr! Mad-dog Paul! Grrr!

Just sayin'.

Over the River and Through the Woods

Over the River and Through the Woods...

We had a very eventful weekend. Beren, Paul, and I drove down to Highland Mills on Friday and Saturday and saw Safta, Cindy, Jes, Uncle Adam & Aunt Jill, Cousins Josh & Alex, old friends Zvi & Beth, Rabbi Kligfeld, and lots more friends of Sabba Paul and Safta Sheila. On Sunday we drove down to New Jersey to see Bubbie Rose, Aunt Phyllis, Uncle Marty & Aunt Ina, Grandma Shelly & Grandpa Steve, Uncle Eric & Aunt Andria, cousins Risa, Mandi, Jay, Miriam, Sara, Paige, Justin, Jacob, Sophia, & Asher, and some of my oldest and bestest friends Darren, Jeni, & Aimee. A lot of people in a little period of time, but it was worth the whirlwind. There are lots of photos to look through. Enjoy!

December Photos in Melrose

December in Melrose

It's been too long since we've uploaded photos. Here are some cute ones from early December. Family photos to come!

A Wonderful Weekend...

...filled with friends and family.

Many photos to come. For now, enjoy this action shot of 8 Cousins!

Come home, Daddy!!

I miss you!!

Paul found his thumb!

It was only for a few seconds, but he found his thumb, and seemed to enjoy it!

Daddy feeds Paul. . .?

Inspired by Spider-Man 3

We just finished watching Spider-Man 3.
The movie was very "eh," but Daddy and Paul were inspired anyway. . .

(Yes, Daddy is "Mary Jane" in this picture.)

Paul, disgruntled baby.

Daddy was feeding him this morning when Paul suddenly spit up so hard that formula came out of his nose!

I ran in and helped mop up the mess, and didn't think to take a picture until after he was mostly cleaned up.

(It was wicked funny, and I feel horrible for finding it funny, but both daddy and baby seemed more startled than hurt, so. . . )

Paul, cleaned up but still disgruntled:

Daddy, also disgruntled:

Daddy reads to Paul

Daddy reads Paul a Hanukah story. . .

*sigh* Everyone's a critic.

Paul's first Air-Guitar experience

Well, air guitar, sax, and percussion . . . a boy needs variety.

I think he's a natural.

(It's the theme song from Night Court.)

Holiday Parties and Two Weeks of Photos

Friday night was the Aptima holiday party. The family finally feeling better, Beren, Paul, Cindy (visiting from NY) and I all decided to enjoy some friends and food. Paul was a hit, and seemed to enjoy himself the whole time (until the awards). We amazingly stayed until 10:30!

I haven't posted photos in a while, so here are some nice ones. They include photos from the hospital, the first few nights of Hanukkah, the Aptima office party, and visits from Shira, Sam, Jonah, Safta, and Cindy.

Paul Loves Computers

Paul loves computers. Mommy has a laptop. Daddy has a laptop. Safta has a laptop. So, now Paul has a laptop. Thank you Red Barn Computers for the computer. Now all he needs are typing lessons...

Happy Hannukah & Happy Homecoming

What a great day! Beren is home from the hospital, and it is Chanukah! We lit the Menorah, sang songs, and opened lots of presents. We love Hanukkah!

Meeting the Cousins...

Last weekend was a nice one. Cousins Shira, Sam, & Jonah came to visit while Beren was in the hospital. Look at all that family!

How Was Your Day At The Hospital?

Mommy is happily out of surgery, so Paul spent the day sunbathing with her. We sure hope mommy comes home soon. We really miss her...
