Grandparents

Lila with Susan & Richard

Lila is really taking to Richard and Susan!

Soothing

Lila's beginning to be able to soothe herself with own fingers.

Storytime with Sara

Noah will happily press any and all visitors into reading him a story or twelve.

Hide and seek

Noah's current favourite game is hide and seek. One person hides under
the blanket and the other person tries to find them.

After some serious searching my Mom was able to find Noah.

Lila & Liz

My mom is something of a baby whisperer.

Noah & Lila

Lila lights up whenever Noah is nearby.

Jesse & Noah

Noah and his cousin Jesse have some sort of amazing trans-generational
bond. They play together like they've known each other all of their
lives.

Ivan & Lila

Munich Synagogue

We went to a kosher restaurant in the new Munich synagogue complex.
The synagogue is a powerful piece of architecture, and feels
appropriate for the history of the place.

Riding the rabbit

Halloween Dinosaur!

Doris & Noah

  

Noah had a very nice time playing with his abuela.

Doris & Lila

Doris came to visit just over a month ago, and she and Lila had a lot
of fun playing together!

Catching up on uploading some pictures. This is from a month ago.

Walk to the park on a sunny day

1/4 year old

This was taken on Lila's 3rd month birthday. She's really waking up to
the world!

Driving to Vancouver!

We got back to Seattle last night at 8:45 pm. Noah went to sleep right away, and got up at 3:45, early even by Toronto standards.

We just got back from the grocery store and Noah asked if he could drive us to Vancouver.

So we're pretending to drive to our friend Sara's house to visit her and give her hugs.

Nachas

Nachas is a Yiddish word that roughly means the joy one receives from ones children and grandchildren...

Pilot!

Noah at the stick of an Embraer 175.

Lila's bath!

Lila had a very nice bath, and Noah was a very good helper.

Pele!

We were at the school playground and we saw a soccer ball.

Noah figured out how to dribble by himself!

He's really good!

Lila

Lila was very patiently hanging out on my chest while I was introducing Noah to soccer.

Really just a beautiful day

Beautiful day in November!

Noah's lovely new hat!

It's a sunny but cool day, so we're playing at the park. Noah's sporting his new Peruvian hat.

Cleaning up redux...

Noah's current favourite way to pass some time.

Napping in the car

Lila's progress

Lila slept for 6.5 hours last night, ate voraciously, and then slept for another 3 hours.

Here she is, asleep on my chest.

Sunny day

A rare pic without the kids.

It was a beautiful day, 70 degrees and sunny.

Eyes open

Nap time

Lila and Noah fell asleep on the drive back from Ballard.

Eyes open

Lila's doing a very nice job of waking up to the world.
We still have no idea what color her eyes are going to be.

Scary dinosaur!

We asked Noah what he wanted to be for Halloween.

His response was an unequivocal "T-Rex"!

Cleaning up!

Noah wanted to do a bit of cleaning up before bedtime.

A very helpful impusle!

Napping!

Doris and Lila spending some very nice time together.

Haircut!

Noah was very patient, and he got to drive a car while playing with cars, so it was a good time.

Playing

Puddle!

Noah has become a recent convert to washing his hands.

He asks for the sink to be filled so he can play with his puddle.

In the photo he's filling up his bowl with his "bottle garbage truck".

Mother and daughter

Doris arrived safe and sound!

Getting ready for a road trip

We're about to go to play at a farm and Lila let us know she needed a quick snack.

Noah holding Lila

Noah really wanted to hold Lila. He's a natural.

Tree!

Noah climbed up the trunk himself, got onto the branch himself, and then jumped back down to the ground himself.

I was around two inches away, waiting with baited breath.

Shooting hoops

Noah's getting better at sinking baskets!

Lila at 4 weeks!

She's doing really well, as are we all!

Ready for any weather

I put Noah in his raincoat this morning. Opening the front door I observed aloud that it was sunny. Noah asked for his hat and sunglasses, and so was ready for anything that Seattle had to offer.

Respite

On the six block walk back to the car Noah stated, "I just want to rest for a short long minute". So we did.

Lunch

It's probably the last really pretty summer's day in Seattle and we're out for a lovely lunch.
Karen's developed a one-handed feeding technique, and it seems to work really nicely.

Sleeping like a baby cont...

The sounds that Lila makes when she's asleep.

Turn up the volume.

Playtime!

We're still having nice weather, so we can still play outside.

Practice smiles

As Lila's awakening to the world she's doing some very good practice smiling!

Cheerios!

Ivan and Noah were eating breakfast. Notice Noah's very good spoon control :)

Washington, D.C.

Noah: Where does Obama live?
Karen: In Washington
Noah: I'd like to go visit him in his house

Zucchini car races!

Noah built a really nice zucchini racing car today at the farmers market.

His entry won!

Sleeping like a baby, redux

Pedaling!

Shopping cart!

With two seats, very exciting stuff!

Sleeping like a baby

Lila's first video!

This is from a few days ago.

Lila Rosenberg Jaye!

Introducing Lila!

Born Monday at 4:31 pm. She weighed 7 lbs even and was 19 inches long.

She's been very good at eating and sleeping and is doing some early practice smiles that are absolutely heart-melting.
