keshet 365.365D

My last night of being 30 was spent going to a Keshet event. He wore his adorable Keshet onesie and was very well behaved. We of course forgot to take pictures of him being adorable at the party instead you get this, peeking out from behind the ergo carrier's straps.

crib 365.365C

Ruben took his first nap in his crib today. We were quite proud.

baby-sittters! 365.365A

Tonight Will took me out for my birthday dinner. Our friends Katie and Sander babysat for us. We came home to a sleeping baby (the best kind) Katie, Sander you can baby-sit anytime you want!

happy kid 365.364

I have been told if you find something that makes your kid happy take advantage. Ruben loves the Bumbo. Thanks Aunt Cara, the Bumbo makes me happy!

just cute 365.361

Ruben was just being cute today. It made me smiley, especially since his dad had to work most of the day.

center of attention 365.360

My in-laws have a beautiful HD TV, but on Saturday night, despite there being both football and baseball on, Ruben managed to steal the show!

sleeping angel 365.357

sometimes when my son is asleep I just marvel at him. I never thought I would be one of those moms that just stares at her kid, but sometimes I can't help myself.

Best visitors EVER! 365.355

I was on strict no food or drink orders with an IV providing all my sustenance for the whole of Sunday into Monday morning (I was very cranky about this). But by the time my favorite visitors came I was allowed clear liquids and was already in better spirits. Appendicitis was mostly ruled out. Will and Ruben spent most of the day with me watching bad television and sleeping. I was discharged at 6:38 pm with the diagnosis of inflamed lymph nodes due to a gastrointestinal virus. I was happy with the level of care I received, but unhappy that it took so long to discharge me. I waited from 1 pm to 6:38 pm to get discharged. Anyway I am so happy to be home and healthy!

i love mommy 365.353

Ruben has a lot of clothing that proclaims his adore for his father and his participation in things his father may enjoy. Until recently this was the only thing that proclaimed his love for me. (on the hood below the octopus it says "I love Mommy"

Also I couldn't resist another shot of Ruben enjoying the Bumbo and finding his thumb.

Bumbo! 365.352

Ruben got a Bumbo seat and tray from his Aunt Cara as a birthday present. We just started using it and he loves it!

Evidenced by hard it was to get a shot of him "sitting still."

graduation (of a different sort) 365.351

The past six weeks I have been attending a class for new moms, getting to know other new (and amazing) mothers. These woman have been an inspiration to me and have helped me with transition into motherhood. Thank you ladies!
Unlike my graduation this graduation was marked by putting all the babies in a circle. They are all so cute... see if you can spot my son.

Uncle Jonathan 365.350

Uncle Jonathan was in town for work, so of course he had to stop by to see his youngest nephew.

more family 365.348

Ruben is slowly working on meeting his family this his great aunt. Before she and her family arrived Ruben was a cranky mess you can see that she has a calming influence on Ruben.

meeting a friend 365.347

our friends son, Lev just turned one and he was checking Ruben out while we hung out on the grass. I am sure as Ruben gets older he will start to chase Lev around,but for now Lev will have to make due with gently touching Ruben's hand.

lovey 365.346

Tt was recommended that instead of letting Ruben choose his own lovey, we introduce one to him. This makes sense on several levels, we have to see it for the next two + years so we should like it, also it should be something that we can buy replacements for should it ever get lost. He seems to have taken to our choice rather well.

video! 365.345

bonus today, moving picture!

present 365.343

one of our neighbors, Jenn Mason, made this awesome hat for Ruben. Its a little big right now, but by the time its cold enough it will fit perfectly! Thanks Jenn!

family 365.339

Today was all family all the time. Here is a shot with his cousins.

With his Grandpa Mike and Donna.

And with his Worcester family (except Bubbe). Its a rare moment in time to have everyone in the same place at the same time, even for a few hours. There are many out-takes of this picture but there isn't a single one where everyone is actually looking at the camera. (thanks to Uncle Becky for taking these shots!)

cousins! 365.337

This weekend Ruben's 2 of the 3 cousins from the Philly area came to visit with grandparents in tow. We went to the Museum of Science and then they went on a Duck Tour. This is them enjoying the virtual fishtank.

Eating lunch!

and finally making funny faces!
