He is turning into a KID right before my eyes!

Aeli Reviews Daft Punk

Not so sure about this, Mom.

The Calm and The Storm in Washington D.C.

This was Aeli at about 12:30 pm on Saturday night, as we were all about to go to bed:

Then- not sixty-seconds after I stopped recording, he projectile vomits EVERYWHERE. Exorcist style. Fountains of liquid white shooting from his little mouth, soaking my shirt and pants, creating a huge puddle of spit-up in the middle of Ariel's bed. I just sat there for a second, dripping. Stefin's all, "Oh my god! What was that?!"

Aeli just smiles. He's not upset one bit.

We use at least four regular-person-sized towels to sop up the mess. Change the sheets, change Aeli and his outfit, wet-washcloth-off his spit-up-soaked head, change my outfit, literally all of it, including my underwear, which was also soaked on one side. Sitting in a pool of puke will do that, I suppose.

Aeli goes peacefully to sleep as soon as he's in dry clothes, and Stefin and I tip-toe around, making laundry piles and towel piles and finding more towels to use as barricades beneath us because the spit-up has soaked all the way down to the mattress and seeps up when you lay on it.

Happy as a clam, though, that boy.

WA DC, and other Days of Yore

So I have to do some backtracking now to get ya'll up to date with our busy lives. Aeli had his two-month check up yesterday and bursts out of the charts with a whopping weight of 14 pounds, ten ounces! The doctor said a weight like that on a two-month-old would make you expect a chunky sphere of a baby, but seeing that Aeliron's super tall (24"), he's looking just right. Just, BIG.

During his second month of life, we took two trips to two Washingtons, one weekend after the other. D.C. was quite chilly, but beautiful. Aeli kept warm in Dad's vest.

We played some Celebrity and two of us almost peed our pants.

Got to hang out with Auntie Ariel and her no-longer-mysterious boyfriend Yair, who was visiting from Israel. (He's great.)

"Don't they ever get tired of this?"

I have a video I was trying to post here, but I haven't figured out how to make it stick.

Prepare yourself for cute.

We'll Be Back Soon

Yikes!

Much has been happening, so I'm sorry that not much has been posted. A one-two punch of only having one-hand to type with most of the time and an unfortunate meeting of a glass of water with my computer's motherboard has left me not quite fit for blogging lately. New technology should be available shortly, and I will have some things to say about our little "I'm-not-going-to-stay-little-for-long" baby boy.

In the meantime, I offer you this (even though he already looks quite different (namely: softer)).(This doesn't even come close to fitting me anymore!)
