Shoshana hosted a delicious Seder and the kids had a blast.  We kept them both up until 10:30!

And here’s some pictures of happy Jordan….

The time really is flying by.  Eli is 6 months old and really starting to show his cute smiley personality (and chubby cheeks).  He’s over 16 pounds, in the 40th percentile.  He loves to be kissed and hugged, and he LOVES Jordan.

Tamar is also hosting a Mommy and Me class for second time Moms at our house, with the same teacher who taught her first mommy and me class.

And he also loves being entertained by Jordan.

We had a nice visit from Grandpa a couple of weeks ago and hosted everyone for brunch in our backyard.  It was great to see Eli and Grandpa bond, but it was also admittedly difficult not to have Grandma there.  But I could see her smiling in my mind while Grandpa held Eli.

We made the fun yearly trip to Descanso Gardens in honor of Elie’s birthday, to carry on the tradition.

A great reason to get the kids together to run around outside!

Can’t blame Jonah for wanting to pinch those cheeks

And then here we are at Travel Town

And here’s Jordan in front of his school

About three weeks ago we started giving Eli solid foods.  He really loves it so far.  We started with rice cereal and then butternut squash.  Today he’s going to try peas.

Here’s pictures and video of the first day of rice cereal, and then a few additional photos of Eli at the end.  Pretty much all he does is smile these days.  He’s going to be 6 months old in 3 days!

Loving sitting in the high chair!

Happy boy!

Meeting Tamar’s friends…

The greatest thing about having two boys so close together in age is watching them bond.  Eli’s face lights up when Jordan gives him attention (which is all the time), and Jordan asks to see Eli when he first wakes up.  There’s no shortage of hugs and kisses for his little brother.  Eli has even been able to sort of play with Jordan when Jordan tries to share his cars.  Hopefully the love lasts forever.
