Gabi was 5 months pregnant and Mia had just turned 2 years old! Eran had just finished his fellowship in NYU and was about to start his job in Lenox Hill. We had a magical time meeting friends, eating great food and seeing the most beautiful landscape! So fun to travel with my family! I love you! I love us!<br /><br />During this trip we had amazing and truly happy family moments! It was a marvelous trip and Mia is the perfect travel buddy! She was already speaking some french, she loved saying "Bonjour. Merci. Au revoir. Couch Bengo, couch! Cheveu. Doucement. Oui". We had a lot of fun visiting the most wonderful sights. We spent the first 4 days in marvelous Paris, in David Selicowitz's penthouse in the Avenue Henri Martin, in the 16 arrondissement. It was really fabulous! Than we got a train to Avignon where we rented a car and headed to Auberne, a small little village close to Uzés. There we stayed for a week with Vanessa, Chris and Jaya in the most beautiful and pictoresque house ever! We did gorgeous day trips all over Provence and afterwords we visited Gui, in Grenoble, where we spent 2 delicious nights. We went back to Paris, where we spent 3 fantastic days with great friends, having fun and living the sweet life... For sure this was an unforgettable vacation... <br /><br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/qO78ngRe4x7VMfJtp2-htA?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_cUgTQumrrjQ/TJEqqWQnnxI/AAAAAAAAWIQ/L4WSkoUh9vU/s400/P1100609.JPG"></a><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Jardin du Tuileries, Paris</span><br /><br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/601I_4AkiTogHQOL7DYHFQ?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_cUgTQumrrjQ/TJEr3vaZKSI/AAAAAAAAWXQ/_7MOl9lIb44/s400/P1100799.JPG"></a><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Pont du Gard, South of France</span><br /><br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/V667aC8Q8SFdwFHMmnVyzw?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_cUgTQumrrjQ/TJEtA8n34HI/AAAAAAAAWko/ZPaSd4HMWZ4/s400/P1100969.JPG"></a><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Sunflower Farm, South of France</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">To view ALL the photos of <span style="font-style:italic;">France 2010</span>, <br />please double click on the photo below:</span><br /><br /><table style="width:194px;"><tbody><tr><td align="center" style="height:194px;background:url(http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/transparent_album_background.gif) no-repeat left"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/gabriela.bornstein/France2010?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_cUgTQumrrjQ/TJEpd5TwJBE/AAAAAAAAXjM/oPqramr63pM/s160-c/France2010.jpg" width="160" height="160" style="margin:1px 0 0 4px;"></a></td></tr><tr><td style="text-align:center;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/gabriela.bornstein/France2010?feat=embedwebsite" style="color:#4D4D4D;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;">France 2010</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">She is so cute, we had to get her in video!</span><br /><br /><object width="420" height="270"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gfbKnYlTXDo?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0&hd=1&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gfbKnYlTXDo?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0&hd=1&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="420" height="270"></embed></object><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Mia enjoying an ice cream, Les Baux de Provence</span><br /><br />......................................................................................................<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">ISRAEL : MIA'S B-DAY : FAMILY</span><br /><br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/ajADCfCy-8b9smOPyx9JeA?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_cUgTQumrrjQ/TJEh-M5mIwI/AAAAAAAAVSo/Z6Ts7crwTV0/s400/P1090752.JPG" /></a><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Mia celebrating her b-day with daddy, safta and saba!</span><br /><br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/prdRLh8pyqbzrTMnlScJww?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_cUgTQumrrjQ/TJEh9MFCTjI/AAAAAAAAVSg/QckfCnrIpBQ/s400/P1090742.JPG" /></a><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Mia celebrating her b-day with daddy and mommy!</span><br /><br />We spent the end of June and beginning of July in Israel. 3 weeks of pure love, relaxation and fun! Mia had another great party beautifully prepared by Safta Nira and Saba Hezi to celebrate her 2 years birthday with her israeli family and friends. She had an amazing time during her stay in the mediterranean Tel Aviv, going to the beach, swimming pool, playing with her cousins Adi, Omri and Yair, and with her uncles Dod Ori and Dod Amir! She also loved going to the kibutz and playing everyday with safta and saba, who took her to the playground, read books, played piano, brushed her teeth, put her to sleep and just spent a very great quality time with her! They really adore each other! What a joy! :) It was surely a special time and we want to repeat it many times!<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">To view ALL the photos of <span style="font-style:italic;">Israel 2010</span>, <br />please double click on the photo below:</span><br /><br /><table style="width:194px;"><tr><td align="center" style="height:194px;background:url(http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/transparent_album_background.gif) no-repeat left"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/gabriela.bornstein/Israel2010?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_cUgTQumrrjQ/TJEgx8fNkJE/AAAAAAAAXj4/DC5dznLDP_k/s160-c/Israel2010.jpg" width="160" height="160" style="margin:1px 0 0 4px;"></a></td></tr><tr><td style="text-align:center;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/gabriela.bornstein/Israel2010?feat=embedwebsite" style="color:#4D4D4D;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;">Israel 2010</a></td></tr></table><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Mia in Action!</span><br /><br /><object width="420" height="270"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zZRFeaNcp5Y?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0&hd=1&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zZRFeaNcp5Y?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0&hd=1&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="420" height="270"></embed></object><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Mia going nuts on the beach!

She spent the entire month of May among friends, family and gorgeous nature! We stayed in São Conrado, at Luizão and Pingo's place, which was incredible! Ritinha, Eta and Antonio were also great help and so cute with Mia! Oh, and Kauai, the dog was her special friend! She would call everyone's names every morning! Starting with Pingooooo, Luizãããããoooo! :) Kika would visit us frequently and Mia loves the stories that she tells, speacially Titotó!<br /><br />It was amazing to spend the weekend near Paty do Alferes, in the mountains, in the "Sitio da Dadeia", a small farm with a few animals such as cows, horses, chicken, rabbits, dogs! Mia was in heaven playing with the animals and so happy to have fun with Calu, Luis, Pedro, Vovó Karen, Carlos and Russa! Oh, and let's not forget the dogs Onix and Gipsy that she would call all the time!<br /><br />Mialê also spent a week in Buzios! The first weekend we went to Cris's house in Manguinhos! We were a huge and delicious group: Cris and her son Pablo, her boyfriend Pedro and his 3 kids, Dino our dear friend, and Rapha and Diego our lovely cousins! Mia loved everybody, specially Marina, Pedro's daughter who became her best friend and an amazing babysitter! :) The rest of the week we spent at Yori and Clarisse's place! It was so nice to stay there with their two daughters, the 1 year old Noah and the 3 year old Lia! Mia played and learned a lot during this week! Oh, and had lots of fresh squeezed fruit juices and açaí with granola! :)<br /><br />Our adored daughter also went to school for 5 days! Espaço Total School was very welcoming and the nature around it was spectacular! Mia just loved it!<br /><br />Also she is specially in love with asa delta and para pent (hang gliding and a kind of parachute). We went all the way to the place were they launch with Vovô Ricardo!

She already speaks and understand some portuguese, hebrew, english and spanish! She is so cute and friendly, always saying "Hi" to strangers. Everywhere she goes she makes new friends, nobody can resist her innocent and truly happy smile. I call her our "Bolinha de Felicidade" (happiness ball)! Oh, she and makes us sooooo happy!

She can eat sitting on the table and take naps with her friends! At the Gan they do yoga, dance classes and make Challah bread every friday! She is developing and growing in a friendly, educative and warm place where her teacher speaks portuguese (she is brazilian!), hebrew (she lived in Israel for 2.5 years!) and english! We can't believe we found that perfect place for our daughter! And it's in Brooklyn, Williamsburg! So close to our home!

She was so happy to spend more time with her israeli family! She wouldn't stop calling her uncles Ori and Amir and her cousins Adi, Yair and Omri! (That's the way she calls some of her loved ones: Heziiiiiiiiiiiii, Adiiiiiiiiiii, Oriiiiiiiiiiiiiiii). She learned to speak hebrew with a lot of Tata's input, to walk with Hezi's nonstop chair training, and to stay without her mama for 5 hours a day! Wow! So many accomplishments in so little time! She missed her dad a lot, but after 2 months apart, we finally got together again and had 2 marvelous weeks united in Tel Aviv! Everyday her mom would go to the Ulpan to learn hebrew and she would stay with Tata, and some days with Hezi! They would go to the park or to the Gimboree, to music classes or story telling. They had so much fun together and teached each other so many things! It was amazing, we all had a great time and we would like to thank them so much for such a warm, caring and wonderful stay! Hava, the neighbor was incredible and Mia also loved her immensely! It was so sweet to see Mia's development during those months of September and October...We started writing down all the new words in hebrew that Mia could speak, but at some point it got a little over control, we couldn't keep up with her anymore, she's "too fluent"! :) We will never forget those lovely moments...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">To view ALL the photos of <span

During the whole month of June the weather was really bad...really rainy and even a little cold...but God gave us a special gift! The weather turned out to be absolutely gorgeous for our picnic and we were able to throw a beautiful party full of happy guests to our wonderful Mia! Thank you all for coming and for bringing such a fantastic energy to our circle of friends! Special thanks to Suely, who was fantastic, so helpful, totally amazing, she really made our party happen! Thank you darling for all your help before, during and after the party!<span style="font-style:italic;"> { I highly recommend Suely's events company: <a href="http://tribebrazil.webs.com/">http://tribebrazil.webs.com</a>/ }</span> And also we would like to thank Safta Nira, Mia's grandmother from Israel! She was here for 3 weeks giving so much love and support to our little family! She helped a lot with Mia's nap schedule and also with her menu! Not to mention all the story time and fun moments they had together! Mia has developed a lot during this month and can say a lot of new words now! Tata (for Safta, grandma in hebrew), Bye Bye, Buba (doll in hebrew), Mama (mom), Aba and Papa (for daddy in hebrew and portuguese), Au Au (the sound that the dog does in portuguese), Gaga (the sound that the duck does in hebrew).

She brings delight, joy, love, passion and happiness to our lives in a way that we couldn't even imagine it was possible, so yes, we are in a honeymoon, we are in the sky, we are so blessed and we are so grateful for having this 10 month old child in our lives...Thank you Mia, for being just who you are...we love you so much! And this little one went to Chicago with us and again behaved so well in the airplane, wow, that was really nice! We had a wonderful time with our spectacular friends Markham, Jack, Renata and Ansgar! The weather was beautiful and Mia went to the Zoo for the first time in her life! And she loved those funky animals! Now she goes to bed at 7pm (after dinner and bath) and wakes up at 4am, we bring her to our bed and she sleeps with us until 8am, really cool! She says mamamama, ababababa, and sometimes repeats things we say, like: "bye", "pizza" and other sounds...tototototatatata, dadadada, papapapa, zzzzzzzzzzzz!! She is taking music classes and absolutely loves it! She is mesmerized by egg shakers and likes to dance! She's got the moves, yeah!

At the beginning she was really afraid of him, but after a few days she was pulling his tail and ears! They played together and had lots of fun! We are also really grateful for having such incredible friends like Kika, Dedéia, Alexandre, Claudia, Renata and Silvia! They were truly unbelievable! So helpful, loving and really available to us!

Yori is Israeli and Clarisse is brazilian and they were totally awesome with us! Their little family is so cool and Mia and Lia got along really really well! Mia even learned to wave goodbye there! I guess it was Lia's influence, since she is 2 years old, big girl! :) During this time Mia grew a lot! She started eating more food, including the famous brazilian black beans, egg yoke and rice (all obviously smashed). We gave her bread, melon, watermelon and orange to eat by herself, holding it with her own hands, and she went crazy! Absolutely adored it!

Well, at least in the last week has been like that. (sssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....knock on wood) <br />Mia loves to eat solids!

Mia is commando crawling very quickly now and she follows her mama in the bathroom, in the kitchen, everywhere! We have to start baby-proofing the house because she absolutely loves wires, cables and plugs! Oh, and she learned how to open drawers also...but she also understands the word NO now...not that she really cares about it, but at least she stops and stares at mommy...than continues doing what she was doing...Oh, well...<br />Also Mia became a social butterfly! Every tuesdays and fridays she has play dates with other babies and mommies at a local Brooklyn Library, on thursdays Mommy and Baby Yoga and play date afterwords, and mondays and wednesdays are open to visit other newborns :) We became part of a mom's meeting website and we know all the activities in our neighborhood!

Now she is sitting, eating solids (already had rice cereal, carrots pureed and also sweet potatoes!), commando crawls going after a specific toy and once she grabs that toy she moves it from one hand to the other, and Oh! she has one very sharp tooth coming out! (she has been bitting our fingers quite a lot!). Mia also was for the first time with a hired babysitter! We went to a dance peformance and she behaved very well from 7pm till 11pm! Well, she cried a lot because she still doesn't like to drink from the bottle, but in the end she could sleep...We are so proud and in love with our girl, it's fantastic! Every day she is prettiest and learning more!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">To view the <span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-style:italic;">New Pictures of Mia</span><span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span> <br />please double click on the photo below<br />and the photos will open in another window:</span><br /><br /><table style="width:194px;"><tr><td align="center" style="height:194px;background:url(http://picasaweb.google.com/f/img/transparent_album_background.gif) no-repeat left"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/gabriela.bornstein/BeforeTheHolidays?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_cUgTQumrrjQ/SV5w50LmpyE/AAAAAAAAGEs/26rZhV9WGqU/s160-c/BeforeTheHolidays.jpg" width="160" height="160" style="margin:1px 0 0 4px;"></a></td></tr><tr><td style="text-align:center;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/gabriela.bornstein/BeforeTheHolidays?feat=embedwebsite" style="color:#4D4D4D;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;">Before the Holidays!</a></td></tr></table>Gabi + Eran + Miahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11594095974679194198noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-975927828892479040.post-87329938894337302482008-12-16T22:37:00.000-08:002009-02-01T10:27:09.568-08:00Body Stamp Artwork & The Fantastic Photo Shoot!<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" width="400" height="267" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&RGB=0x000000&feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fgabriela.bornstein%2Falbumid%2F5280591177704135745%3Fkind%3Dphoto%26alt%3Drss" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed><br />{ If you can't view the slideshow properly please RELOAD the page! }<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">To view <span style="font-style:italic;">The Body Stamp Artwork</span> <br />please double click on the photo above <br />and the photos will open in another window:</span><br /><br />We had a lot of fun during this entire day at Arthur's Studio! <br />Mia behaved really well and for about 8 hours we worked non stop!
