Fun Little Tidbits

So, I just wanted to give you a quick insight into the fun times of Benny Meyer.

Benny is now moving across the floor at quite a fast pace. Still not on all fours, but he's using all fours, which I see as a good start!

He claps now. When he's happy or sad. When we play and when he gets yelled at (yes, we yell!). When we sing Modeh Ani in the morning. When he wakes up from his nap. If you haven't quite understood, he's ALWAYS clapping now! It's really cute!

Tonight he found the power switch on his jumperoo. Not sure if he will remember it next time but he had a lot of fun turning the music on and off and he was jumping around!

He is so much fun to play with these days...not that he wasn't before, but now his interaction is on this really cute level, as if he actually understands what is going on in the games we play. It's amazing!

Ah, and now we can get to the best part of the story. Benny is ALWAYS congested, he snores at night, he snorts all the time. So I took him to the doctor. Being that he's a Meyer, I'm keeping a close watch on the possibility of Asthma coming to play so as he gets older and this snortyness isn't going away, I get more and more worried. His doctor feels that it may be a reaction to something I am eating. I have been off of all dairy for over four months now. Dr. Fun decided it's time for me to pull some more out of my diet: no wheat, soy, corn, eggs, fish, nuts.

Basically, I'm really hungry.

Love you all, can't wait to see people in Florida soon!!!

Good night!

Six Month Checkup Already?????

Wow. Six month checkup. Six months have passed since Benny was born. **Funny thought, it's only been five months since he was named ;) **

Heading out to Kingston...

Having some fun in the waiting room

So we went to his doctor today, and luckily, there is a PA that works there as well. I had gone to this doctor a few months ago when Benny had a stomach problem and I really didn't like him, but hadn't yet found a new one. So anyway, there is also a PA that works there...I've marked down the days she works there and we now love Laurie the PA! (When I said I didn't really like the other doctor and if they could please mark that I always want Benny seeing Laurie, the receptionist laughed and goes 'Don't worry, we don't like him either' lol)

Since this a well-being appointment, shots were obviously involved. I prepared myself for the shrill screams I've learned to love and was pleasantly surprised by the outcome! Benny was so busy ripping the paper on the table he didn't even notice the first shot in the slightest. When the second one came around, all we got was a little 'HEY whatcha doin over there???' No screams. No cries. No tears (from either of us :) ). It was beautiful. 

We found out Benny has some excema, in true Goldsmith fashion! Time to whip out the Cetaphil!

Benny is now 17 pounds, 11 ounces and 25 1/4 inches long. That's a heckava kid to be lugging around!

On that note, Benny grabbed on to the side of Shuky's bed last night and pulled himself up completely. Did it a few times. Then he swung around and boinked his head. Cried. Got back up on that horse and tried climbing all the way onto Shuky's bed! It was adorable!! So he now sits, crawls somewhat - backwards, forwards, and in circles - and now he's pulling himself up too!

Wish me luck everyone! Looks like Benny is gonna give us a run for our money!!!!

Benny '09

I guess my writers strike can come to an end now...things are slowly calming down, for now anyway. 

Shuky has steady work, which, needless to say, is very exciting! He loves his job which makes me love his job!

Benny is HUGE! Breaking my back huge. Can't believe he's almost six months huge. Sitting on his own huge. And he is so LOUD!!!!!!! Let's put it this way - when he starts crawling, I will never wonder where he is. 

We are still living with my mom but now that steady work is in the picture, we are really in the apartment hunting stage. 

PS Mazal tov to Bubby 'Miami' and Brian on your engagement! We're super excited for the wedding! I've been keeping my eye out for a suit for the Benster! And mazal tov to Yitzy and Mimi about Tzvi Yosef, Yossi, or TJ as I like to call the squeaky hairball!!!

Love you all, glad to be back. Hopefully you'll hear from me again soon!

First eye infection :(

Benny woke up with pink-eye this morning :( Just looking at him is making my own eyes itch! I know pink-eye is extremely contagious so off to the bassinet Benny goes for the next few nights!!

Goopy eye city, here we come!!!

Off to try all the fun remedies everyone suggests!

New York, New York!

We're here! We did it. We were able to pack up our house in three days with an extremely active baby. Everything is being stored in Postville until we can find an apartment...then we can go back and drive a truck out here.

In the meantime, we are residing in the Blachman residence! And Benny is loving New York! He rolls all over the place and he is trying very hard to crawl already so not much longer...

I have some great pictures to put up of the Benster.  I don't have time at the moment but hopefully soon...

Have a good one! Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving!

Sincerely,

The New-New York Meyers

Time for a change!

One quick picture...read his shirt!

It's November already????

Wow, things have been crazy. No time for the blog lately... I've been posting tons of pictures (and a few videos too) on Facebook so people can still keep up...

Blog is officially on hiatus until after we've moved and I can breathe.

Love to all. Find me on Facebook if we're not already friends there...
