Silver

Ima was so nice when Abba was gone! She left the cabinet unlocked and I got to play with the silver! (this is before Ima took the silver away and locked the cabinet back up)

To the best Abba on the planet: WELCOME HOME!

In honour of tomorrow, WELCOME HOME ABBA! It's been a LOOOONG three weeks. We missed you more than anything and we're so happy you're home safe and sound. We love you so much!!!! Love, Gedalya and Ima

Baby Locks

This is what I think of the locks Ima and Abba tried to put on the cabinets:


They're more useful as food

I'M WALKING!!

This is me showing off. I think Ima has a video that she'll post later, but this will do for now. I'm walking really fast these days! Yay me!

Shoes

Is this my shoe? It seems a bit big...

Now this is more my size!

Yom Yerushalayim! Chag Sameach!!

To celebrate Yom Yerushalayim, 40 years to the unification of Jerusalem, we went to a parade today! The whole city came out to march for Yerushalayim all the way to the kotel! We had a lot of fun!

Abba's rocking chair

Now, I think this is called a chair. It's been in my room my whole life but I just became aware of its existence...

I can sit on it!!! Is that what a chair does? (This was Abba's chair when he was my age- thank you to Grammie for sending it!)

This is just a cute picture of me and Abba!

Me and my cousins!

Yesterday I went to visit my cousin Yair and his new sister Bat-Ami Esther...

Yair played with me and showed me his toys...

I LOVED the puzzle he had...

Bat-Ami was also fun to see!

I'M WALKING!!

My First Steps!

So for all of you who haven't heard yet, I WALKED FOR THE FIRST TIME ON FRIDAY!! We were at Grandma's house and she had given me two cookies. I had one in each hand and didn't want to give them up, so when Aunt Adena called me over, I just walked! Then everyone screamed and I cried...Ima hopes I walk again soon...I told her I will when the trauma wears off...
Since there are no pictures because it was completely spontaneous, here is a picture of me doing something else for the first time...drinking from a cup!

Water

This is me and Abba testing out the water!

This is me not wanting to put my feet down because the water was too cold!

Ok we keep trying and it doesn't get warmer...is it time to leave yet?

Yogurt...

I don't know if you can tell from the pictures but I LOVE eating yogurt!

Eilat!

For those of you who couldn't reach me for a few days, my Ima and Abba took me to Eilat! I had such an amazing time! I saw lots of fish, got a stuffed animal fish to take home, went on a submarine, saw sharks being fed, saw animals from the amazon, saw a pearl being taken out of a real oyster, played in the pool, ate a lot, and played with Ima and Abba a lot- I think that was my favourite part...but going in a submarine was a close second!

On our way to Eilat we stopped at Yotvata for ice cream. There were some cows there- plastic- but it looked a little too real for me so I clung to Ima for dear life till she took me away from them. I think i'll stick to the cows in books for now!

In our hotel, the Magic Palace, there was a room that I could only think of in my dreams! It had a giant pit of balls that I could play in. Abba jumped in with me! Then I started to pass him all the balls, one by one. I was going to pass him all the balls in the whole pit but Abba said it was getting too late...luckily I went again with Ima later!

This is me and Abba at the observatory in Eilat! I had so much fun looking at all the fish!

One of my favourite parts was the submarine ride I took. I saw parrot fish, zebra fish, cleaner fish, coral and so many others!

I also hit the glass a bunch of times, just testing Ima!

I thought this was a nice picture Ima took of a crocodile...it was right next to the Tirrantulas..

Savta, did the one you saw under the fridge look like this?

This is a Pirrahna. They eat all living creatures...be careful...they look like regular fish.

Ima did a nice job imitating one.

Then she showed me how to feed some safe fish!

Later at the hotel I was too hot to put on my T-shirt so I ran away in my bathing suit.

Then I practiced standing next to the mirror...I'm a cute guy!

Finally, Abba caught me and gave me a bath!

These are pictures of me playing with my toys yesterday morning. I love playing in the morning! Ima says i'm very intense about it...I just think it's fun! Ima wanted me to update everyone on what i'm doing these days. Well, as you saw in some pictures, i'm walking while only holding one hand! I'm also running now, by the way. And today, I was able to identify animals by the sounds Ima was making! She made a quack and I said "Duck"! and she made a meow and I said "Cat"! Ima thinks i'm really smart...I just think she makes funny sounds!
