Graduating soon...

I'm very relieved to announce that I defended my dissertation yesterday, and everything (thank G-d) ended up turning out good in the end. Getting there was a little rough, but the committee seemed to really like my work.

So now I just have to finish up some paperwork, and I'll hopefully have my PhD soon. Then, back to med school.

Trying to capture Yossi's teeth

Yossi's teeth are getting really big, so I tried to get a picture of them today. I wasn't very successful...

Like all photo sessions, Yossi wasn't interested for most of it. Then he noticed the iPhone and tried to eat it.

Life Update

I just had a Dissertation Committee meeting today. They said that I should be ok to graduate with my PhD by July 1st. But, to get everything scheduled out, I need to finish everything in the next 2 weeks. That's not going to be fun.

On a lighter note, Yossi has 6 teeth now, and he's almost crawling.

He also just figured out how to stand up in his crib. That makes life a little more interesting, :).

Yossi being cute

Yossi was being especially happy and cute, so I snapped a couple pictures

Some highlights from the first 5 months

Here are some of my favorite pictures from Yossi's first 5 months. There are more, but this is a start:

Birth

His hair was amazingly red when he first came out.

Home (resting)

Being cute

These are hilarious:

Thanksgiving

All of the people at Thanksgiving were a little overwhelming

More cuteness

Getting ready for winter




Yossi's a really good sitter



Play date with Ada



Ended like most baby activities...



Yossie loves his swing

The Penny Sessions

Yossi's gone to JCPenny's a couple times now when they have real cheap pictures. The results are usually pretty funny

Bethany's pictures

Bethany's a friend of Laura's, and she's a really good photographer. She's shot Yossi a couple times now, and the pictures look amazing. I'm going to upload those as a seperate post when I get a chance, but here's one of my favorite:

First Chanukah

More random pics

Ok, Yossi's crying... gotta go.

Second tooth

Yossi was pretty upset the other day, so I took the opportunity to snap a shot inside his mouth. If you squint you can see his second tooth starting to break through right next to the first one.
