It's been quite a while since I updated the blog. Things have been pretty hectic for the "little Wylens", as we recently moved out of our Montclair, NJ apartment, and are on our way to the great northwest. That's right, Jeremy has already moved into our new home in Seattle, and Avi and I (and Aunt Daya and Bernard the cat as well!) will be following in a few weeks.
For now, Avi, Bernard and I are living with Saba and Savta Wylen, Doda Elisheva and her dog, Chai. It's a full house--grown ups, cats, dogs, and babies. We are all getting along, and even sharing our germs so that we have all had the same cold for about a week now. Avi loves all the attention he is getting from everyone, and has started talking. Although he's been "verbal" for ages, and has probably been trying to communicate with words for months, his first real word that we are sure means what it sounds like is "Kitty," which he uttered for the first time on New Year's Day 2009. He also says "Don't", and wags his finger when he says it, and "Ball." So far, he hasn't bothered with "Ema" or "Abba." What can you do?
Avi has also grown into a very picky eater as a 10-month-old. He HATES vegetables, eggs and chicken, and is able to pick them out of any "creative" combination I try. He will eat cheerios, fruit, rice cakes and yogurt at any time of day, and whole wheat toast is a big hit, as long as you give him the whole piece and let him take his own bites. But don't try to give him veggies unless he is totally distracted by a toy or a fun spoon, and then you can sneak in a few bites before he realizes what's happening. He's such a little character, and loves to dance, bang stuff, climb the steps and speed-crawl around the house.
