Jonathan tried to access his phone while holding a crying baby. Hilarity ensues.

Uh oh. Is someone trying to unlock your device?

Lookout has detected an attempted break-in on

Here's where this picture was taken:

First week down.

It was wonderful to be back in the community.

The pace is much faster than I've been used to at home.

I've been falling into bed at 9pm.

I practically begged Mom to come into town for the three-day weekend.   Thank goodness she said yes... it's been such a huge help.

For those who are curious... Connor still won't take a bottle.  Jonathan's been visiting me at work once a day so he can nurse.  Then he wakes up every two hours to eat at night.

Oy-ness.

Connor learns to chat

In his debut outfit for religious school last Sunday.

Cracking up.

Oh so amused.

Talking to me and cooing.  He's strong, supporting himself on his own.

Listening earnestly to my response.

 Giggling about the prospect of rolling - he's learned to go from his back to either side.


And speaking of religious school... yep, I'm back at work.  It's wonderful and chaotic and fulfilling and exhausting all at once.  I'd forgotten the pace of it, and I do miss the baby.  But I love what I do, and I know it will all work out in time.

Why my child is crying

We asked Ari to pick up the popcorn pieces he threw to the floor.

The many emotions of Connor

The background of this post: I wanted to get a good photo of the baby for my picture frame at work.  So of course we had to take a bunch.  You're totally forgiven for not looking at all of them, I'm mostly posting these for my mom and grandmother.  But for anyone who is interested, behold Connor in all his 10-week old nuances!

Love.

Amusement.

Contemplation.

Dubiousness.

Admiration.

Alarm.

Shock.

Trepidation.

Dismay.

Joy.

Revolution!  (Photo taken by X.)

What made the photo shoot happen: me making cooing sounds and Xander entertaining his brother.  Here he is exploring toe tickling.

And finally, the winner: the photo I chose for my office frame.

Yummy food making

X stirring the waffle batter for Shabbat breakfast (Jonathan decided to shake it up, usually we have challah French toast).

Chopping up apples for the batter.

Eating the apples that didn't make it to the bowl.

I BAKED!   See the glorious cake.  I cut it in half and made it double-layered.  Can't go wrong with more frosting.
