The last 4 weeks have been a whirlwind of diapers, nursing, healing from the c-section, and getting to know our little Avi Ben-Zion. Avi's bris was a beautiful event, filled with the love of family and friends, grandparents and even great-grandparents, and couins galore. We were thrilled with our mohel, Cantor Menachem Toren (if anyone wants a referral, let us know--we searched high and low for him and were extremely happy with his services). Ema Alys was probably more traumatized by the event than Avi was. Since then, we've been blessed with lots of help from Nana Cheryl and Aunts Daya and Shosh, who have selflessly given up full nights of sleep to help us out. Avi is now a month old, and has already gained 3 pounds since he was born, and is now up to 11 pounds, 4 ounces. He is alert and happy most of the time, and his big blue eyes and gummy smile melt our hearts every day. We hope to find more time to update the blog in the weeks to come, now that I am feeling better and starting to adjust to my up-every-two- hours schedule!
