First Pair of shoes

Guess what we bought! If the subject didn't give it away.

Watch What He's Doing Now

This walk is for you grandma! Happy 47th! (wink wink)
I know it's been a while but this was worth the wait!






I must say, he's a pretty determined young man. I don't even have to bribe him anymore. Well, if you don't count this second one.

He's a lot of fun.

Until next time!

ITS AMAZING!!!

Its amazing! Look what Gavi did all by himself. My son is brilliant.

Okay, he had SOME help.

Love to all.

Baby On the Go!

I have no photographic proof yet but Gavi took his first 5 steps yesterday. It's true. Ask Gama Suri! (If you'd like the number of where she can be reached, please ask) We tried to get him walking again- no such luck. But we have the camera at arm's reach at all times. We took Gavi for his second trip into Manhattan today. We walked some street fairs, at a burger or two (mommy not gavi), and saw some interesting people such as this fine lady--

Gavi couldn't stop looking at her hat. She was so nice to let him pick at at.

We went down to visit Aunt Yakira for her birthday party. I promised him a balloon.

As you can see he got one. But wouldn't let go of it for a solid hour. I can't tell you how hard it was to pry it out of his hands so we could give him dinner. The TV was a great diversion.

Wish there was more to tell.

Flour Power

I'd like to say that Gavi got into the flour on his own. That would be cute though. I was bored and wanted to have some fun with his creativity. I thought he might draw on the floor with his finger or something. Nope... the flour went right into his mouth. Grabbing a fist full and stuffing as much as he could... repeatedly! Well, at least he had fun doing it. And it made a great Kodak moment.

G-d Help Me When He Can Walk!

Gavi stood up for the first time all by him self yesterday. Yitzy wasn't there to see it, so we've been trying to get him to do it again. Alas, he refuses. But he is getting better at standing without help. Maybe I'll boycott his passy and see how that works. With his mobility growing (if that makes sense) he's getting into more and more trouble. I turn for one second, he's on top of his bus. Which is not made to be ridden. Gavi also likes to do the following...

I don't get it. But what ever floats his boat.

Love to all.

What We've Been Up To

I know its been a while but I still have nothing to report. Gavi has four teeth coming in on the top, which has put him in a sour mood these past couple of days. The only thing that made him happy was playing with things he's not supposed to...
We've also made some trips to the studio with daddy. We're almost done with the CD so keep your eyes open. Maybe Gavi will have something of his own one day...

What is He Not Getting?

Gavi seems frustrated for some reason. I really don't get why. But I'm sure you'll get a laugh out of this. I'm such a mean mother.

Would You Wanna Hug This?

When Gavi sits down to eat any meal of the day he needs he following by his trusty side: Two spoons, of the dairy or meat variety depending on the meal, his passy, and a handful of cheerios in the cup holder. I don't know if this is the best eating habit for a baby but what ever works right?

First he takes the first bite. Then he needs the passy. Then another bite. Then he plays with his spoons. I try to sneak another bite in between the spoons. We start the process all over again. My mother thinks I'm crazy for playing these games with him. By the end of the meal he looks like this-

Notice the food on his feet and forehead as well. Any suggestions?

Love to all!

Gavi's mom

PS- After the first month or so of feeding him solids, we realize the best thing to do was eat our meals in our onesies.

Follow the Light Gavi Goo

Yes, we are mean to our son. But who can resist?

Gavi has a new favorite food. Wipes! Every time I leave him alone in his play room, he goes straight for the box that I had (stupidly) left on the couch from the previous diaper change. I know, mommy should know better. I'll get a picture of it, should it happen again. (as it probably will)

Go Gavi Go!

So Gavi is starting to feel his way through walking. Yes, he's still holding out hand, but only one of them! Please G-d he'll figure it out before the summer.

Last night we had to start Ferberizing all over again. I went in and out of his room about 10 times last night reminding him... "Yes Gavi, we're still here... We love you Gavi... It's time to go to bed Gavi." In the mean time, he's probably thinking, SHUT UP WOMAN AND GIVE ME MY BOTTLE!

We got Gavi his first baseball hat. You Like? He didn't! He kept trying to pull it off. He only kept it on long enough for this photo.

Since s'fira (the time between Passover and Shavuot when we refrain from listening to live music) is upon us, this is the musician's form of Bein HaZmanim, Daddy is home on Sunday's. During this down time, Daddy enjoys practicing on his guitar with the Gav-meister.


And then Gavi decided he'd rather eat the instrument than play it.

Don't worry daddy, there is still hope.

Love to all,

Gavi's Mom

Pesach

So we made it through our first Pesach home. Yes, we did miss the Ritz, but there's nothing like your first pesach table to make you feel proud.

We got gavi a walker for afikoman... and what did he like most about it? Well, take a look.

(IF YOU CAN'T SEE IT CLICK HERE)

What can I say? He's a goofy wittal boy.

Much love.

Gavi Flips the Bird!

So my in laws (G-d bless them) have a beautiful bird named BJ. BJ and Gavi have this love/hate relationship. Gavi loves to terrorize him and in return, BJ loves to grab Gavi's beloved passy. Take a look. (OR CLICK HERE FOR THE LINK)







We also continued the baby proofing process. Not to be confused with the Pesach cleaning process, which has yet to begin. We love to see little bits of cherios all over the play room.





Good times to be had by all

My Son the Model

So since Gavi has learned to crawl he's also gotten into the habit of strutting his stuff. He's not stranger to the cat walk.... Shake it Gavi! Shake it!

If I Were the King of the Forrrrrest

Yes, as you can see Gavi-Pooh was the cowardly lion for Purim. Can you see the resemblance. He had a great first Purim. We heard Megillah, ate Hamentashen, and of course had a Bissel of the wine. One is supposed to drink until they can't differ between Haman and Mordechai. But let me ask you this... What if you didn't know the difference to begin with? I mean, he's only 7 months old?!?!

My Boy

I know it's been a while and I wish there was a good excuse. At least it hasn't been as long as some people... ahem. So we're still trying to get the hang of crawling. But it's not for lack of trying. Gavi gets where he needs to go at his own pace. Sometimes faster than others. In fact, I under estimated his mobility and plop went Gavi. I won't say off of what, but I'm sure you can use your imagination. It's not like I left him alone. I was putting laundry away in the same room. But Gavi-pooh is fine thank G-d.



Gavi had his friend Yakira over this past shabbat. He was checking to see if anyone was looking while putting the moves on her. That sly dog! Gavi keep your hands to yourself. What would her parents think?!

The babies had a good time. As did we.

All the best!

Yeah No School!!

We were stuck in the house all day thanks to the weather. But we did manage to sneak out for a quick pic
