Adler Family Blog

Once again, the celebrated director, Svitlana Adler, has released her latest film. This clip takes us deep into the heart of the Fisher Price Rainforest, in the inhospitable land of Vienna. Watch as Maya defends herself against the wild animals! Shudder as she ventures into the cave of ever-changing lights! Scream, as the repetitive music threatens to drive her mad!

Being a first time parent isn’t easy. Being myself a bit pessimistic and a first time mother makes it even more complicated.
Maya is doing really well. She is growing every day and already started demonstrating her little personality.
She definitely lets you know what she wants, like when we take her off the changing table and she still wants to watch her mobile with bears, which is over the table, she will start yelling until you bring her closer to the bears again.
She makes silly faces when we bring her to the mirror and giggles and smiles when you smile at her.
Maya has a real obsession with lights, can not stop starring at them. I guess she is already trying to pursue a career of a lamp designer. The funny thing is even when the lights are off, she patiently waits until we turn it back on.

Since Svitlana got pregnant, I’ve constantly been looking for games that don’t take up much of my time, but are at least still entertaining. Also, finding those that allow me to simply stand up and stop at any time are ideal. So far, I’ve found only a few that stay entertaining. The two that look the best so far are:

Urban Dead – A Massively Multi-Player Web-Based Zombie Apocalypse
Bite Fight – Vampires vs. Werewolves Web-Based Game

Though I’ve already maxed out my character on Urban Dead, it lasted quite a while. If you know of any other ones that are free and fun, let me know!

Maya is really getting sweeter every day. Of course, I’m back at work now, so I mostly only see her in the evenings and weekends. But I keep a nice picture of her as my desktop wallpaper at work, so I can always look at her smiling face. She’s starting not just smiling, but yesterday morning, we were looking in the mirror, and she smiled when I did. So now, when she’s in a good mood, and you make an over-exaggerated clown smile, she almost giggles.

As you may have noticed, Svitlana has been busy making videos. It’s a direct byproduct of my being around on the weekend, giving her a bit of time to do something other than hold Maya all day. Here’s her latest creation:
