Pesach and beyond

We had a very nice Pesach, thank G-d. Saba and Savta came to visit, and were a great help in addition to being wonderful company! We made sedarim for the first time, and it was really beautiful. Sara Chana said "Mah Nishtana" and really knew about the steps of the seder. They had been practicing the seder in school for two weeks! Over Chol HaMoed, we went to Snoqualmie Falls, the Museum of Flight, and the Family Fun Center. Everyone enjoyed, and it was very memorable.
Sara Chana has been a bundle of boundless energy! She has been running around, climbing on equipment at parks, "mowing the lawn" with her bubble mower, and even making up her own jibberish language (despite the fact that she speaks very well).
Temima Liba has been hitting all sorts of milestones. She has learned how to sit up from a laying down position, and she knows how to get up onto her hands and knees. She rocks in that position and occasionally takes a few "crawling steps." She also drops onto her tummy and has started army crawling a bit. She loves to clap when we say "yeah!" She espcially likes it when Sara Chana says "yeah" to her! She also has finally starting eating some solids - she has eaten small portions of sweet potatoes (but she is not a big fan), applesauce (she's okay with it), and butternut squash (by far, her favorite!) She is trying some of the other foods but has not, as of yet, really taken well to them.
Enjoy the pictures and video!

    Great pics! Sounds like everyone is doing well. If we could get everyone in the same place at the same time, Eitan and Sara Chana could say "Mah Nishtana" together. :)
    Earl and Debbie look great too. Tell them the Amsters say hi. :)

    What adorable pictures of the girls with Saba and Savta. Sara Chana is such a good bubble lawn mower! :) And I'm so proud of Temima Liba for eating so well! She's such a smiley baby. I miss all of you and can not wait to visit in May!!!
