On Sunday July 9 - Ari will be 12 weeks old! How fast the time has flown. I am returning to work July 5. Thankfully - it is in the middle of the week and am still eligible for Sunmmer Fridays - so this week shouldn't be too overwhelming. Lavi is graciously taking on the role of being at home with Ari during the day while I am at work. I think he has been looking forward to his alone time with Ari for a while - but he is aware that it is not easy and the adjustment may be overwhelming / frustrating at times. Lavi is wonderful with Ari though - and can conjur a smile from him like a pro. Ari is also changing so much. His cry is no longer one of a newborn - and he sounds a little more sad when he does cry. It breaks your heart. But generally - we respond to him quickly enough that the cries are quite short lived. Nevertheless - you can hear the difference in tone which is interesting. Ari is still a smiler and his favorite spot is still the changing table. He has been plopped in front of a Baby Einstein DVD once or twice and is engrossed! So - TV watching may be one of his favorite activites - which we will make sure to keep to a minimum in the early days. Lavi has got him into the computer already too - exposing him to some wonderful Disney games that I am sure will be a great hit. It is amazing to see how interested he is though - you cannot tear his eyes away. He fits nicely into his clothing now - and is chunking up well. He now weighs about 12 pounds I believe (22.75 inches). Ari and I have been quite involved with some local moms recently - I have been meeting a bunch of new people and that has been exciting. Hopefully with my work schedule - we will be able to keep it up. Next weekend - Lavi will meet some husbands - so that should be fun. We are off to a 30th birthday party for Adam today - lounging by the pool is always fun. It should be a good activity before my return to work. Happy 4th of July!
