New pictures

Checking out of the hotel in Indiana the morning of the wedding. Forget the excitement of the wedding - he got to ride on the luggage cart and press the elevator button!

Jonathan likes to make his cookies from scratch, so here we are helping by cutting up chocolate bars to make the chocolate chips. Note my real knife and cutting board; his is made of wood. He was very perplexed by the cutting process, so a moment later decided to give up and just eat the piece instead.

Fixing one of his toys with Daddy by extracting the battery. That plastic tool set we got him for Hanukkah was the best gift ever.

We were eating lunch and Xander finished first, so he was excused to go play. Yet he wanted to be with us, so he dragged his piano from the living room to the kitchen entryway so he could play us music.

Conducting very important phone business.

"The manager said WHAT? I don't think so."

Once business was over, he grabbed a real phone and proceeded to hand me his so we could call each other.

First official self-portrait.

I helped aim the camera for this one.

And of course, the best photos are the ones taken by somebody else!

I'll end with a fun story from the day:

We're trying to encourage him to say his name more, so I asked him, "Are you Mommy?"
"Nooo!" he said.
"Are you Daddy?"
"Nooo!"
"Are you Simcha?"
"Nooo!"
"Well, who are you then? What's your name?"
And he gives a big smile and says, giggling, "Yentl!"
