Go back to 2000: Year of the Draggin'
Eli ate his first real food on January 6, 2001, with the Nathan
grandparents on hand. Eli was nonchalant about the experience.
In February 2001, Eli met former basketball star, New Jersey Senator and
2000 Presidential candidate Bill Bradley. Senator Bradley was stunned when someone
in the crowd shouted, "Hey, who's that tall guy with Elias Nathan?"
On March 24, 2001, Eli met a very proud great-grandfather, Dov Katzovich
from Israel. He talked about how as a Jewish partisan in the woods of Belarus during
World War II, he dreamed that he might one day live to see children and grandchildren.
You can see his emotion at having held his first great-grandchild!
The whole family gathered that weekend. Pictured below are (top to
bottom, left to right): Moshe, Rita, Roy, Stephanie, Mina, Sam, Dov (holding Eli, who was
up past his bedtime), Karen, Dani, Tali, Doron, and David.
Eli gave daddy exclusive rights to photograph him after a bath in June
2001, with the written provision that daddy will not show the photos to his friends when
he's a teenager.
Here is Eli before and after his first haircut on July 7, 2001. He
loved the attention and was grateful that there were no more "pretty little
girl" comments!

Would you buy a car from this man?
