Ten Tinies

(Ten Tinies is a post about the things my kids do on a regular basis. Things than I almost don't notice, but will love to remember when they outgrow it.)
  1. Adel shrieks whenever she drops a toy. By shrieks, I mean I drop everything and come rushing to see what happened, fingers ready to dial Hatzola's phone number.
  2. She loves being held up-side-down. She laughs and laughs when I do it!
  3. Gedalya has a cute little thing he does- when he sees a small animal or bird, he makes a scooping motion with this hands and if he's taking the animal and closes his cupped hands. Then he tells me he caught a baby pigeon or a baby whatever it happened to be at the time. :)
  4. When Adel was a newborn, she'd do this adorable thing when she'd get startled in her sleep: she would pick up her hand a little and spread her fingers out wide. I know it's a reflex, but I absolutely loved it. I think it's awfully adorable since this reflex is supposed to be for survival. Baby gets startled and tries to scare off anything that would endanger her by appearing to be bigger and pointier. "Look, I have five long and pointy fingers that can pose a hazard to you by poking you gently if you come too close, so stay away!"
  5. Every time I drink coffee, Gedalya insists to look inside my cup. Sometimes I give the kids water in coffee cups and they sit and sip it. "It's white because it has chalk kichelech" they say to each other. (Yeah, I melt marshmallows in my coffee.)
  6. At almost 7 months, Adel still has a newborn cry.
  7. Adel responds when I call her name. She also glances at the right brother when I ask her where Zusha or Gedalya is. (Almost 6 months)
  8. Gedalya has a bad habit of leaving the refrigerator door WIDE open after taking something from it.
  9. Gedalya had a growth spurt. He can suddenly reach the ATM machine to punch in the numbers for me. The last time I had him press the buttons (not long ago) I had to hold him up!
  10. Adel smacks her lips after nursing, and Zusha says that she is trying to kiss him, but just can't come close to him on her own. :D
