Netanel's Page

Netanel started talking before he walked (at around a year old), and only stopped talking when he learned to read. Voraciously. At age 5. For complete update information, subscribe to the Greengart Update email at family@greengart.com. Available by "sponsorship" only.*

At the Hyannis Carousel (Netanel doesn't look like he's having a great time, but he refused to get off)

At the Hyannis Amusement Area: Netanel learns to play Skeeball and "drives" various vehicles

In Newton with Ray, Nancy, their fascinating stereo equipment (like father, like son?), and Aunt Rose

Liberty Science Center. Not shown, the highlight of the trip: escalators. Next time, we take him to the mall.

At the Park with cousins Meira, Yitzi, and Yehudis

Netanel's school was closed the day before Rosh HaShana, and Leah was working, so, with apologies to "Friends," we had Tani and Abba's Day Of FUN! We went to the carousel ("that was fun!"), the zoo ("and that was fun!"), the choo-choo train ("and that was fun!"), and the ice cream store ([hushed conspiratorial whisper] "that was a lot of fun!").

Netanel loved the ducks, and a spirited exchange of "Duck season!" "Wabbit season!" ensued (here at Acme, Inc., we believe it's never too early to teach your children The Classics). Afterwards, Netanel asked me where the wabbits were. He now strongly believes that all ducks live in zoos, and all rabbits live in our backyard.

June 2002 (2 Years old) Cousin Joey's Bar Mitvah is scary at first, but Netanel soon warms up.

January 2002 (20-21 months old)

No wonder my father likes these - they're fun! (Note: they have since been moved to a higher shelf)

1. Look, Mommy - I can feed myself! 2. Look, Mommy - I can feed my shirt! 3. Look, Mommy - I can feed the floor!

I don't care if you do call them "tomatoes," these little balls are fun to play with!
Special Pre-Purim preview! (We're going elephant this year).

Channukah 2001 (19 months old)

What we learn from these pictures:

	Netanel likes his Abba, but LOVES his uncle Benjy!
	Netanel likes looking at airplane toys, but actually riding in them is not so great.

Vital Info

This information isn’t really vital, it’s more of an executive summary.

	Name: Netanel (Nathaniel) Zvi Greengart. "Netanel" in Hebrew means, "God gave" or 'gift from God,' which might sound corny if we didn't literally believe it. Zvi was the Hebrew name of Avi's grandfather, a friendly, good man who made an honest living working in a bakery. "Z" also happens to be a very cool middle initial.
	How big at birth: 6 lbs, 2.6 oz., 19 1/4” long. They took down his hat size, too, but that’s definitely not vital unless you plan on buying him a hat. I don’t remember what his hat size was, actually, but you’ll have to get a really small hat. Appropriate logos for the hat are “Redskins,” “Red Sox,” “Intel Inside,” “My First Sony,” or “My First Star Wars.” NOTE: Netanel DOES now have a Red Sox outfit, a Redskins windbreaker, a Redskins coat, and a "hat with Nike swoosh on it just like Abba."
	When born: 2:01 PM Friday, May 19, 2000.
	Where/How born: Hackensack University Medical Center, by emergency C-section, through the timely and skilled intervention of Dr. Alvarez, with ultimate credit due to God .
