Jonah's First Solid Food

Hi everyone! Love the new Blogger software - so much easier to use. Here are 5 pictures catching everyone up to present. Jonah turns 6 months old on Friday. These are some pics from the last month and a half.

Here we are at New Years' Eve, where we had a party with our friends.


Here are Ariella and Jonah at Jonah's 5-month mark, hamming it up for the camera.


Jonah loves cuddling with the beautiful pillow made for him by cousin Aimee Nosomowitz.


Ariella and Jonah on 2/1/07. Ariella continues to amaze us with how smart and perceptive she is. She now knows how to read all of her letters, upper case and lower case, and is working on a few words. For example, she can read the names of all of the kids in her preschool class. And she has developed a great sense of humor. Her latest joke: she asked, "if a doggy sees something really amazing, mommy, does he go bow-WOW?" She also said, at 3 1/2 years, "when i'm everything that i want to be, i can do it all!"


And here's Jonah, just after trying solid food for the first time, on 2/4/07. I think the caption should be, "wait a minute, so that's what this eating thing is all about. yum!"

Trip to Atlanta in December 2006

Time to catch up on all of the holiday pics. Had a very fun-filled and busy six days in Atlanta, seeing all of Rick's family. Here are the pictures, finally. Fast-forwarding to February 2007, Jonah has just started on solid food, so we'll have some good pictures of that to come shortly.

We continued Hanukkah at Papa Steve & Nana Donna's house.

We took Ariella to her first movie - Charlotte's Web!
