So - Ari is growing up so quickly. He is now 16 weeks and so much has happened lately. First of all - he has had pretty much a full month of spending his days with his Abba. The two of them are great buddies now - and Lavi is loving spending time with his son. I think he will be just as sad as me to return to work. Ari is rolling over this way and that way. He wiggles around all the time and is pretty active. And who knows what color hair he has - every day it literally changes from red to blonde to brown. We're still waiting on full confirmation. He also is quite chatty and has definitely found his thumb/fist. It is very cute to see him sucking away. He also has a favorite 'luvee' bunny that he snuggles up to when getting ready for sleeping. I have already asked Lauren to stash a few aside for me, since they carry it at the Star Spangled Carousel. Doda (Aunt) Nili flew in from Israel to meet Ari for the first time. She was in NY from 7/21 to 8/1 and we were thrilled to see her. She brought him some wonderful little Hebrew T-Shirts and he wore them all already. Kate came to Westchester to do a make-up run for the wedding. We joined to watch and hang out at the Cardillo's dinner table which we always love doing. We also took Ari for his first trip on the train to the city. It was amazing for us to see his reaction. He loved staring out the window - it really captured his attention and was so great to see him watch the world fly by. He really is growing up quickly. We have a nanny search in full swing since Lavi accepted his new position. We may have found a match and we are excited to see how it goes when she joins us for the day on Monday to trial run. Lavi also brought Ari to my workplace on Wednesday - and this was such a thrill for me. Ari smiled his way through my office and was a great break to my day. It was also great for me to introduce Lavi to my co-workers and reveal my full worklife to him. Now he can picture it all when I bring home stories, or even just know where I am sitting when we chat on the phone. The heat wave has kept us indoors for a good part of this week, but we did lose power the other day and decided to take Ari for a swim instead of sweltering in our house. Ari loves the water and finds it relaxing. I am trying to teach him 'splash spalsh' and 'kick kick kick'. He humors me by going along with it...Check out some of our photos from 12 - 16 weeks.
