First Hanukkah, and Hanging with Friends

We celebrated our first Hanukkah last week! We only captured one pic of David and the menorah... most nights he wasn't all that interested in the lights or the singing, but he'll be an old pro by next year we're sure :)  (yes, that is a Christmas outfit he's wearing... VERY hard to find any Hanukkah onesies!)

Here are some other highlights from the past week:

Mom-mom baby-sat so I could get my hair done! First time I've been away from David for a 4-hour stretch - but he did awesome :) Here's a pic mom-mom snapped while she was playing with him:

The same day, David got all of his 2 month vaccinations - he was a pro at the doctor's office, getting a little fussy during all the poking and prodding, and cried during the shots (they were over in a flash thankfully!) but quickly calmed down and was sleeping in his carseat before we knew it. He developed a small fever and was unconsolable late afternoon, so we gave him a little bit of tylenol, and he was all better :)

Seeing David sad & in pain, even for just a short amount of time, made my heart break. Let's hope those are the last tears of sadness we see for a long long time! :)

The next day, Nana and Grandpa drove down for a surprise visit! Here's a shot of Nana with David:

And here are 2 shots of the family taken by Grandpa:

As evidenced by all of the bib-wearing, David is quite the drooler nowadays, soaking through 3-4 bibs a day! He of course doesn't seem to mind :)

On Sunday, my friend Jill came by for a visit, and David LOVED watching her being silly. Here's a little montage of their visit:

This week we went to see Katherine & Andy's new house! And hang with Mr. Benjamin. Here's a shot of David stealing a seat in Ben's chair:

We also got a visit from Kate and Mr. Taishi! (David has been SO popular!). Tai and Franklin got along swimingly. While I still have failed to get a pic of David with either Kate or Katherine, we managed to get a quick video of Franklin and Taishi playing a game of "chase" in our living room (not sure who's chasing who here!):

Can't wait for Ben, Tai & David to run laps around all of us in a couple more years!

This week, David also visited his daycare to meet all the teachers and have mommy take a test-drive at leaving David for a couple of hours to play with all his new friends. While he slept most of the time we were there, he appeared to be pretty happy with all the fun new toys and people to look at when he woke up. Here's a pic of David at the big-kid table... I can't believe this is our little baby!

After a full day of fun, David (& daddy) were exhausted:

Finally, some requisite bath pics of the little guy - needless to say, bath-time is still one of my favorite times with David :) 

And since we've been doing lots of tummy time, here's one last shot of the week (David likes to look at himself, so we hold up the iPhone so he can look at the camera, and that's when we snapped this shot - apparently he likes making funny faces at himself!):
