hooray

A very old video of Liora having some coo-coo crazy time, as we call it! She was just jumping around saying "hooray mommy!" and dancing around going a little nuts. I think she had just turned 2 in this...I found it yesterday among some old posts. Wait for the cute moon comment at the end!

odds and ends

Before moving on to the next set of photos and videos, here are some odds and ends from May and June!

Liora has tested every which way to go down a slide.

On the merry go round with daddy.

Big yawn!

Sister cuddles.

Some more sisterly love.

Daddy makes the best cushion.

mother's day

For mother's day this year, we had both of our mothers visiting! We had a fabulous brunch at Aunt Nurit and Uncle Roy's house, and the girls wore matching purple outfits. Cute!

Liora opened my gifts for me. This was a potholder she made in school.

With Saba.

Oh so sweet.

The Erger family!

kaya's first bath

These pictures are so old, it's almost embarrassing to put them up! But since this sort of serves as the girls' baby books, I will go ahead with it. This is Kaya during her first bath. She has her belly button stump still, an old man face, and chicken legs--and looks so different than the smiley, chubby, engaging baby she is now!

life with a 2 1/2 year old

Life with a toddler is just so much fun. Liora has such a huge personality, and it is such a joy to watch her express herself (most of the time at least). We are also always so interested in seeing her physical acumen--she'll definitely be a good athlete. People always remark on her balance and abilities, so we're keeping an eye on her talents and thinking of what sports she might like. This summer she's been doing great at her swim class, and whenever she sees gymnastics she says she wants to do that too!

She has a sweet tooth.

 

She can hula-hoop!

She likes doing things that mommy and daddy do--here she is filing my nails.

More on that sweet tooth.
