Hi

Please 
Amen
Poopy
Ah-Qee (All Clean!)
Pizza
Bope (Soap)
Elmo

Owie
Boo-Boo
Challah
Uh-Oh
Whoa
Wow!
Ball
Dog
Duck
Wawer (Water)
Bubbles

Ahpu (Open)
Waffle

She signs "eat" and "more" and nods and shakes her head for yes and no.



She will also say, "Hi Mommy" and "Hi Tatty"


How big is Leah?  SO BIG!

HAPPY PURIM




A Frielichin Purim to Everyone! We sure had a blast!!!
The kids enjoyed giving (and receiving) Shaloach Manos, making tons of noise with their groggers and playing at the Tusks while we ate the Purim Seudah,
The morning after Purim, the following conversation occured in my bed:
Miri: Am I wearing my costume to school?
Mommy:No, just your clothes,
Miri: Oh. Why not?
Mommy: Purim is over.
Miri: So it's Pesach?

Chanukah, etc.



We had a marvelous time over Chanukah, and were able to celebrate with both sides if the family, both at home and in Chicago. While in chicago, we were able to visit lots of friends as well as our old favorite, the Chicago Children's Museum. Right before we left we checked out the brand new Kohl Children's Museum - awesome and definitely worth the drive to the suburbs!
