The past few weeks saw no major changes. The daylight savings time now has the kids going to bed at 8 and waking up at 6, still by Zev's mighty cry that wakes Benya and the rest of the house. Other than that little has changed. The mornings are early and often loud, the evenings are OK (usually) but exhausting, and the weekends are mind-numbing even at their best.
Benjamin seems to like my hat (clearly, after me more than his mother) and say "kapka" - a modification of "shapka", Russian for "hat". This also marks the first word that Ben says that Zev does not. Also, seemingly with no direct effort by anyone, Benjamin learned to quickly bow his head when he is asked to say "thank you".
If someone opens their arms and invites him, Zev gives a big hug from a running start. In a few more pounds, I imagine, he will be able to knock people over. Huggers beware.
There might be more cute stuff, but I am too tired right now.
Now some much-delayed pictures.
