Pictures to make Grammy happy...

...or at least to get her to stop e-mailing me reminding me that I need to put up more pictures of the baby!

The big news from Ari-land is that she went to the doctor a few days ago. At four months, she's now 13 pounds, 8 ounces (50th percentile) and 25 inches long (75th percentile - that won't last!), and doing great, according to Dr. Martin. She's just getting started on solid food...watch for pictures soon!

What are Ari and Nanny doing with a Christmas tree? It's Ari's first exposure to a very long-running family tradition of spending Christmas Eve with our good friends the Eiselens.

Here's Ari in Uncle Chris' stocking.

Another Chanukah picture, this time with Grandpa

Aunt Julie loves her niece!

 A few days before Christmas, we took Ari down to Horseheads (near Elmira) to experience one of the last remaining Lums restaurants...

 ...where she posed with Daddy's hot dog, boiled in beer in that great Lums tradition. (Solid food for Ari? Yes! She just began eating some mushy rice cereal yesterday, and she's getting the hang of this whole "spoon" concept!)

 
 

Ari, Lisa and our friend Dave Gottfried, enjoying his classic Lums "Ollieburger." (And for Grandpa, that's a poster from the 1972 U.S. Grand Prix at Watkins Glen in the background...)

Did we mention it's been cold here lately? Minus 4 last night, with wind chills down to minus 22 or so.

 

 

 A few leftover pictures from Binghamton in early December, recovered from the roll of Nanny's film that CVS lost for a while.

 Three cousins: Ari, Sophie and Hannah. Sophie just got back from a trip to Korea for her Uncle Andy's wedding!
