Mindful babies unite!

At our monthly gathering of mommies, daddies & babies from our mindfulness-based childbirth and parenting class. There were so many great images so we had to post a ton! (I hope you don't mind, Malka.) All photos courtesy of Edward Katzin.

New Tricks

Actually, these tricks are kind of old now: sitting in his chair, standing on the couch, putting hands and feet into his mouth (sorry, negligent blogger). Due to an unfortunate encounter our camera had with the floor, we have been thus far unable to capture the newer tricks: downward dog, hurling himself forward from a downward dog position (this boy wants to crawl - badly!!), eating rice cereal, and running down the hallway (assisted by daddy, of course). Daddy promises mommy she's getting a new camera for her birthday . . .

Playmates

With Asher, Benji's everyday play pal, and Lacy, who keeps them out of trouble (kind of).

Boro Park represent!

In Brooklyn with the great-grandmas. Sadly, the camera was on its last legs at this point . . . but we love these shots

Swimming with the Fishes

We spent a day with the Monticellis checking out the aquarium at the new California Academy of Sciences. We were all impressed, especially with the albino alligator!
