More fun than frogs, hail, and darkness

Here are some pictures from our Passover vacation in San Fransisco.

Leila borrows a hat and takes an up close look at ice flowers.


Adorable. Enough said.



No soup for her?

Looking forward to Passover

Actually, Passover is here, and it's Leila who is not only looking forward, but moving forward as well. She seems to enjoy it, and her parents are very proud and more than a little panicked at all the babyproofing we'll need to do. Video evidence:

In the swim

Leila had her first swim class today, which was all sorts of fun. The parental-types like it too, because it seems to lead to four-hour naps. Here are the "before" pictures, we'll get some photos of the class itself next week.



She likes it!

Play ball!

It's the most wonderful time of the year, and Leila's ready for her first full season of baseball action:


She likes to watch the games in style and comfort (Thanks Grams!):


Still, sometimes it's nice to go out for an early spring stroll in the crisp, clean air:

Strutting her stuff

The day after the naming ceremony, Leila got to experience her first Purim. Thanks to the peacock costume that Aunt Lauren sent her, she was the belle of the ball, or perhaps the queen of the roost (On the top perch? Foremost in the pecking order? Something to shake a tailfeather at?), as you can see in the video:

By any other name. . .

This weekend we hosted a naming ceremony for Leila followed by a family lunch at our house. Her Hebrew name is Leora Yehudit after Robert Miller and Jody Faber. She was the best baby in the universe! She was happy during the entire service and laughed at the Torah reading and anytime someone said Rosh Chodesh.





Leila loves dancing to her favorite band, The Beach Boys (?!). She has fun, fun, fun!

New Photos

Hanging out with Grandpa at the Lamberton Conservatory (she quite literally talked for twenty minutes while we were there, apparently thinking she was our tour guide!)



Leila and Karina are friends! (for a few minutes at least)

Leila is full of smiles
