Queen of the Playground

Even though she's only nine months old, Bruria is really the queen of the playground. She climbs up the steps, flies down the slide (by herself!), laughing her head off the entire time. Even though she's not walking yet, she manages to get around just fine. All the other mothers see her going on the slide, and they get nervous - "של מי התינוקת הזאת" - but she is totally fearless (unlike her older brother!)

Yungers in Action: Yisrael eating Chummus

Today Yisrael got his hands on a container of Chummus...and decided to help himself!

Seeing double?

Yisrael has been giving me a hard time going to sleep lately (I guess he's normal!) so we made a life-size paper doll that is also Yisrael. We made a full set of clothes and PJ's (out of paper) for the doll. The idea is that every night, we will first get the paper Yisrael into pajamas, and we will sing to him and put him to sleep, and then afterwards, the real Yisrael will go to sleep. I don't know if it will actually work, but Yisrael sure got a kick out of seeing another "Yisrael" in the house!

Isn't she precious?

Tonight we went to a chasuna for one of Bentzi's cousins. B"H Bruria looked so cute, she was getting all the attention (well, not all of it...she made sure to leave some for the Chosson and Kallah!)

Our budding Talmid Chochom

This picture was NOT posed...Yisrael found Bentzi's gemara on the table, and he shlepped it over to the couch and sat down to "learn".

May we be zoche to see him develop into a ben Torah, and may he always find joy in his learning!

Yungers in Action: Yisrael feeding himself soup

Yisrael decided he's old enough to feed himself.....

Our new double Stroller

After much consideration, and hours of researching strollers online, I finally decided on a double stroller. I opted to go with a jogging stroller- and I hope it serves us well!
