Yesterday was my birthday. It’s weird, because for the first time in my life I couldn’t remember for about a full minute whether I was turning 33 or 34. What does this mean? Am I at a stage in like where birthdays become irrelevant? Or just somewhere in mid-thirties purgatory and I’ll start to care [...]
One of the things I’ve been most looking forward to as a father is introducing my daughter to music. There are few things I love more than rocking out. My life is dominated by song these days. We are really into transitioning Tzofie with music. There is a good morning song (very loosely based on [...]
Please note that Tzofia is sporting her frog outfit (complete with rocking froggy feet) as a reminder to the Egyptians not to mess with the Jews. You know, that whole ten plagues thing…
I’ve been thinking about what I want to be called by Tzofia. Shall it be Dad? Daddy? Abba? Harry? Daddy seems the most natural but once I realized that it could be anything I want I decided to get a bit creative. I eliminated the previous mentioned names and narrowed it down to “The Maestro” [...]
My entire outlook on life has changed since becoming a father. I must not only look out for the interests of my infant daughter, but also for my wife and myself, lest we fall into the cliches of parenthood. We haven’t ordered anyone to wash their hands before holding Tzofia yet so I think we’ve [...]
Tzofia’s favorite song is “In My Room” by the Beach Boys. It’s the only song that truly comforts her when she gets “all baby and shit.” On one hand she should be praised for an early appreciation of Brian Wilson’s emotional candor, gift of creating perfect melodies and writing complex harmonies. On the other hand [...]
According to the child rearing bible, “What to Expect the First Year” also known as “How to scare the shit out of a parent in 30 pages or less,” the bath time should be “calm,” “soothing,” “quiet” and “comforting.” Although she appeared to enjoy her first baths, tonight’s bath was beyond disastrous. I would even [...]
It’s hard to believe that it’s already been three weeks since Tzofia was born. It’s remarkable how quickly she is changing. She’s becoming more aware of everything around her and just yesterday I noticed her poo had more of a brown hue to it than a yellow one. Is that a gentleman caller at the [...]
We knew as soon as Ziva was pregnant that we somehow wanted to name the baby after her father who died three years ago after a long and painful struggle with pancreatic cancer. His name was Jack (Ya’acov) and we didn’t exactly like the sound of Ya’acova for our little girl, so we decided to [...]
Man, the past two days have been a whirlwind. More later, but let me just say that Ziva is unbelievable. Her strength and resolve were absolutely mindblowing. I’ve experienced emotions yesterday that I never knew existed. Allow me to introduce our daughter (!) Tzofia Reevi. She’s very rock and roll. And no comments about the [...]
