February-March 2001

Orr is 2 years, 3 Months old.
Hilla is 10 Months.

 

This month the girls have celebrated Purim, which is a jewish holiday sort of like Haloween, where the kids get to dress up and exchange gifts of food with each other. This is Orr's 3rd Purim, and this year she was Minnie Mouse. Hilla was a clown.

On the development front, Hilla has learned to stand up! she grabs the rails of her playpen and pulls herself up. She is, of course, still unable to sit down, so she yells for help as soon as she gets tired of standing. She smiles a LOT and laughs a lot, especially when tickled on one of her many many chins.. :)

Orr is develping her laguage skills.. she talks a lot with almost no problems (although she still gets some letters and some of the harder words mixed up), and encouraged by the puppet theatre she has in kindergarden she makes up stories and shows. She also learned a whole bunch of new songs, including several birthday songs for Aunt Ayelet's birthday on March 15th!

hair-dressing abilities)

What are sisters for, if not making faces at the camera together?

Hey Swan, are you pondering what I'm pondering?

 

Hey, if I smile now, will you take the silly duck off my hand?

Orr in Purim, as Minnie Mouse. She loved the costume,
She just looks sad cause she's not a morning person.

Orr said about this picture that she was "very nice and gave Hilla the yellow
noisemaker but kept the green one cause Hilla doesn't need two".

Hilla in her Purim costume. She was a clown.. well.. sort of.

Post-Purim-Party hangover.. oh man! :))

Hilla sleeps peacefully in a not-so-rare moment..
