Three Weeks Plus!

Three Weeks Old!
 Elena has been growing by leaps and bounds.
 Rotman Gals, Mommy's Cousin Debbie and her daughter Eve
Cousin Debbie and Kenny and their 3 children, Max, Eve, and Seth
came for a visit. 
Note how big Elena is...
 and how enormous Judah is!
 
 She continues to be a calm baby and sleeps well.  What a blessing!
So thoughtful, 
and interested.
 What a wonderful bundle to hold.
 Every day she is becoming more alert.
 Aunt  Sarah gave Elena her new onesie.
 Hi! Mom!

Meanwhile, Judah has many adventures.
He's playing basketball at neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt.
 He did a lot of train watching with Grampa.
And went to a birthday party.
Judah suddenly became interested in his little sister and kissed her nose.
Note the "Mary Jane" socks!
So content!

Two Weeks with Elena

 Wecome!  We're back. 
Elena is trying out my bouncy chair.
 She still sleeps a lot.
Elena sleeps in the stroller during her first visit to the zoo.
We had a great time. 
 Elena has tummy time at least once a day.
 Peek
 -a-Boo!
 Grampa Sam came back when Elena was 12 days old.
 So relaxed holding Grampa's finger.
Elena now has some new pink clothes. 
 Grama Helen thinks the she looks wise.
 She is certainly serene.
 Elena is 13 days old.
 I'm holding her hand.
 She seems to like my attention.

Daddy loves to hold Elena.
 At 2 weeks, Elena weighs 7 lb. 14 oz and is an inch longer! 
She's in her stroller as we walk around the neighborhood.
 Meanwhile, life is much more interesting for me.
I like to sleep in my very own tunnel.
 Grama and I are inspecting the eaves troughs, drain pipes,
 and the pipe that sends the water into the street.
I found Easter Eggs at my school 
 and had a bunny cookie and fruit at the Easter Party
with my classmates.
 I was really excited to see a blimp flying over downtown.
 I hope it comes back again today.
 I'm still receiving a daily present for my train table,
courtesy of my baby sister.
 And I get to see the real thing just up the street.
Two weeks and Elena and I are a team!
