Benjamin Isaac is here!

We are pleased to announce the birth of Benjamin Isaac.  He was born on Monday at 4:46pm, weighing 9 lbs 4 oz, measuring 21 inches long.  He is super cute and you can definitely tell he is Lily's little brother!  Here are some pictures from his first few days.

Lily LOVES Ben's hat from the hospital.  Luckily, she has one with pink ribbons that we were able to show her and let her play with.

Look at his luxurious hair!

Ball Pit Slide

Tonight at gym class, they had a slide set up. Lily has a great time sliding into the ball pit and disappearing!

Sibling Tour at the Hospital

This morning, we took Lily to the hospital for a sibling tour. We got a tour of a hospital room and got to "change" baby dolls and read a story!

Purim

Last night we took Lily to the megillah reading at synagogue for Purim.  She wore her Minnie Mouse costume and had a great time.

"But guys, Sarah and I aren't ready to leave yet!"

Today we went back to shul for the Purim Carnival.  Thank goodness there were no goldfish!  Lily was not really interested in the games but enjoyed the arts and crafts, face painting, and popcorn.  At the end, she did play (and enjoy) the mini golf.

An Indoor Swim

Last week we took Lily to the JCC indoor pool for a swim. We thought she'd be done in 15 min.... We actually had to drag her out of the pool!

Disney Princesses on Ice

Today we went with Grammy to see Disney Princesses on Ice, or as Lily calls it, "The Princess Show." Like the other little girls, Lily wore a princess dress on top of her clothes. She sat there mesmerized the entire time. Here are the only pictures she let me take of her, and I only go these ones because I told her I wanted to take Cinderella's picture.

"See my pretty Cinderella doll?"

"Ok, Mommy, I give in, I'll smile. But only for one picture."
