More Milestones
As far as I am concerned, my Yaeli is growing and changing daily.
About four days ago she realized she could say mommee instead of momma.
Yoni has become noni instead of no-no.
Abba has become ba-ba instead of Ba and she is still ya-ya.
She can also say some 2 word phrases such as my shoes and my turn.
She also know how to play "peek-a-boo" it comes out as pee-boo from her, but is so much fun when she hides under the blanket and/or so do I.
She has definitely grasped the toddler concept of what's mine is MINE!
Yoni has finally gained the confidence to get in the swimming pool on his own - as long as he is wearing his full-on floaty suit. But it makes him happy to splash around. And he can also swim underwater when the mood strikes him. When he can stand the length of the whole pool he is like a little fishy.
We went to a swimming birthday party recently and it was just about half an hour too long. The 2 year old birthday girl who had been jumping off the side of the pool and going down the slide all evening long into the waiting arms of one parent or the other, decided to jump in the deep end un-aided and with no-one to catch her. Scary few minutes as there was general confusion. then the lifeguard jumped in and got her safely to the side of the pool and into the arms of her shaken parents. needless to say, that was the end of the party. then yoni in his extremely tired state, fell off the picnic bench backwards and conked his head on the concrete pretty hard. He was a little shaken and cried for a few minutes but we watched for any signs of a concussion and all seemed ok. Oh-and earlier in the day, Yael had drunk too much of the baby pool water and threw up into the trash can -right before dinner was served. And the other kids were over tired too, making for general crankiness all around.
In other news, we have secured flood and homeowners insurance and are set to close on our very first home on FRIDAY, AUGUST 15. I along with my loving family will be eating macaroni and cheese and tuna and Ramen noodles for the very near forseeable future!

Wow, the kids sound delicious (I wouldn't KNOW, you see, since you don't post pictures. Ahem). And the house looks lovely (and very familiar - where is it??).
And remember, mac and cheese is a luxury item here! (Well, when it's the fancy American one!)
well if we were in Israel it would be pita and hummus and cucmbers and tomatoes from the shuk. Since we are fat lazy Americans we are going with the cheap-o version (not the expensive American kind) of Mac & cheese. I deliberately leave off pics of the kiddos - Carlye takes care of that for me. I don't want to bring unwanted attention to them. And the house is near Parker between willowbend and w bellfort and chimney rock and hillcoft.
It is literally around the corner from my mom's good friend of over 20 years whose house we spent a lot of time at as kids
The house looks great - can't wait to see pictures of the inside.
With Sam and I moving back home, there will be plenty of kiddo pictures to go around thanks to Aunt Carlye!
not to be "that guy", but why leave off pictures of the kiddos and then tell the internet world where you live. You all but gave your address.
Maybe that is why there are no photos.
"You can come to my house, but which kids are mine?"
(insert evil laughter here)
The address actually was blazoned across the bottom of the picture and I cropped it out! :P
And if you know who that 20+ friend is or even get the reference - then you are most certainly invited to come to my house to visit with me and my -not to be seen too much on this blog- children.
