Happy New Year!

Family picture in Coronado

Four Months Old

 

Aaron is four months old now. In addition to hanging out with is pillow pets, he enjoys laughing at his sisters, playing in the jungle and practicing his standing and sitting (the Asch training program is alive and well). He is a tall and lean smiling machine! Also, he is (cross your fingers) sleeping through the night for the last week or so. Happy, happy Mommy.

Robin...in her sister's footsteps

She might not say it, but Robin loves her big sister and eagerly wants to do everything Miriam does. She saw Miri fly off the bulldozer at the park, so up she went. Now, she loves flying:


Robin's also getting pretty good on the ice:

We'll all dance the "porah"

Robin gets into the Chanukkah spirit....

Hanging out

The Asch Family jumps into December...

 Aaron takes in the world sideways...

 Puzzle time: Miri completed this 100 piece jigsaw puzzle from the National Zoo with a little help. Robin did her animal puzzle all by herself (at least from G to Z). Great activity for a cold and rainy day.

 Making origami crowns. Thank you for the great gift, Aunt Laura!

Robin-isms

Oh, the middle child. Not the pioneering oldest; not the adorable baby. Forgotten in all the hubbub of the newborn...

Not Robin. She won't let you overlook her.

Robin is her own beast. She wakes up with a mischievous sparkle in her eye, and she spends her day tearing around, laughing, dancing, singing. Her exuberance will crack you up and drive you crazy, but you will never be bored.

She talks nonstop, and there's no telling what she'll say next:
- We were ice skating and she came to stop, looked at the ice, then up at Daddy: "Daddy, why did the ice stop moving?"
- Playing on the mulch-covered playground at nearby Nolte Park, she whipped out her wit: "This isn't 'Nolte' Park, it's 'Mulchy Park'!"
- Mommy was trying to get Robin to finish her kugel, so she tried to use the Aaron trick: "Robin, Aaron wants to see you eat your kugel!" Robin didn't miss a beat. Taking a huge bite of her much-preferred sweet potatoes, she quipped: "No, Mommy, he wants to see me eat my sweet potatoes!"

Not to be outdone...we also have a three month old

WE LOVE AARON!

Getting a kick out of getting his picture taken.

What is going on with my two crazy sisters?
