Benji is 2 months old!

Josh has not been the most restful Barbag boy at night.  So, naturally this is what happens 5 minutes into dinner preparations!  Mommy did everything she could to keep him up, but he just wasn't having any of it!

Benji fell asleep right in the middle of playing.

Derek made an amazing tee pee in our backyard.

Proud big brother!

The Barbag Blues

Josh is still mesmerized by Benji.

He keeps sneaking in there!

Mommy accomplished the nearly impossible feat of safely installing 3 car-seats into the back of Cherry's Accord!
Josh also sits facing forward for the first time -- obviously it's more of a roller coaster this way!

Josh and Benji aren't the only ones that can sleep just about anywhere!
This happened while laying on the ground to help Benji with tummy time!

 Derek had the exciting task of taking home the class pet, Racer, for the weekend!

Derek shares his library book with Racer.

Both boys excitedly brought him all around using his carrier.

Racer meets Uncle Keithy Weithy!  Welcome home Uncle Shalev!
We missed you and are so glad you're home from Israel (after 4 years!!!)

Mommy was lucky enough to have a hair appointment on the same day as the Cohen Wedding!

Quick and Easy Up Do!

The Mother of the Groom with Benji -- that's like holding calm on a (possibly) stressful day.

All dressed up and ready to partay!

NB represent!

Alex and Amanda model the chuppah (look up for the finished product)!

We know Elf on the Shelf, and Mensch on the Bench...but Maccabee on the Mantel?!  News to us!!!

Grandma and Daddy

Aunt Susie and Uncle Keith

Fun with the photo booth.

 No worries from this guy!  Thanks to Bubby and Zadie for babysitting -- the night was truly enjoyable!

All smiles with B & Z.

Another weekend, another set of birthday parties:

This party was pirate themed!

 While Derek and Daddy partied, Mommy played with Josh and Benji.

Mr. Joshie Head

Mr. Benjie Head

What a silly guy!

Loving his costume!

Breakfast with the brothers, the next morning.

Daddy's staff at their holiday dinner.

Poor Josh woke up from a nap and was not happy.  He lay on the floor for a bit, got up, and went back down:

Slept like this for a couple of hours.

Later that night, Mommy discovered why he may have been so comfortable sleeping where he did -- his most favorite possession was there....the "sweep, sweep!"

One last shot with Uncle Keith before he heads up to DC:

Stacey decided it was time for her Barbag fix:

Snugly with Benji.

 More time with Bubby:

Benji really smiling at Bub.

Derek works on his Potato Head

A very hearty Mazel Tov to Marli and Adi on their engagement!  Marli stopped by to meet the newest Barbag!

Lastly, what would a 2 month post be without a picture of Benji getting his 2 month shots (and his freedom to be out in public...finally)!!!  He is doing great!  He has gained nearly 4 pounds!  He now is 22.5" long and 11 lb 13 oz!  Go Benji Go!  Or should we say Grow Benji Grow! :)

Derek shows Benji how to grow big and try to fill his Mamas shoes!

Benji is happy to be able to go out in public.

And Mommy was happy to spend a night out with her Mermaids!
(These are her swimming pals from work)!

Lastly we'll leave you with a couple of entertaining videos.  In the first video you will see Josh fooling around, and when he falls to the ground (around 15 seconds in) and doesn't move, he's saying "I dead."  (He's been watching Derek play super heroes a little too much, wouldn't you say?!)  The second video is Mommy challenging Josh to rub his tummy and pat his head (TOO CUTE)!
