The bowling ball

Toren, Anton and Dima

Toren tells all...

When asked what he thought of the outside world thus far, the little man had quite a lot to say.

Slept through church!

We went to a beautiful Catholic Church in Little Italy this morning. I was a bit nervous, but he slept the whole time! Now let's see if he'll sleep a bit longer while I have a cappuccino with Ellie. If we're really feeling ambitious, we might even stop at the farmers market...

Happy Easter!

You can't tell, but he is beside himself with excitement.

Loving maternity leave!

Skyping with Gramma Natalya and Aunt Alisha

The guardian or the stalker?

Quiet at last!

A newborn in the house + a husband on call at three hospitals all night = NO SLEEP

But we all survived. :)

Watching basketball with Raja!

Toren is a whopping 2 WEEKS old today!

This my friends is cause for celebration...like maybe an extra long nap or something wild and crazy like that.

A phone call with DIMA!!

Toren got to talk to Dima on the phone today! It was a very intellectually stimulating conversation. ;)

He does a lot of this.

Bye Gramma!

We just dropped Gramma Joan off at the airport. It was so great having her. The dishes were always done, laundry folded, house tidy and there was always an extra set of hands to help out. We'll miss you but loved, absolutely loved, having you visit. Come back soon! Like now. This baby is crying and I don't know what to do!!! (Only teasing...you taught me well.)

Someone is going to miss Gramma.

And someone is going to miss Toren.

Footprints!

Gramma helps get Toren's footprints, but he didn't make it very easy for her!

Another visitor! Toren finally meets Julie.

A walk with Ellie!

Coffee at Cafe Bassam with Gramma and Ellie

I only eat cookies the size of my head.

Kind of adorable

Reunited at last...

after a long day apart. We survived Dad's first day back at work!

Do I look hot?

Sporting my puffy reusable diapers!!

I sleep with both hands up in the air because...

In my dreams, I am a ninja!

Morning coffee with Gramma

We're obsessed parents. It's obvious, right?

Watching a food documentary with Dad

Boycotting tummy time

Book worm in training...just like his Dad!

A walk in Balboa Park

Putting some miles on that fabulous BOB stroller!

Tummy time with dad...and raja

Also known as baby push-ups.

Toren is thoroughly enjoying his visitors!

Daddy the burp master

All tuckered out after a long weekend!

Visitors, dinner/lunch dates, farmers market, the beach...it was a busy weekend for this little kiddo!

Lunch at Blue Water

With the Ho family!

The villain

Madi and Toren are becoming buds
