Jumper!

Hi Shira,

You showed off your lungs at a family gathering today. Not sure what set you off but you were in full throat. You sure can bring the volume when you want to.

You also had your first session in the bouncy swing. You seemed to really like it. But you were unable to tell me you were tired and just nodded off after a while. You did seem to like the way you could spin around by using your legs. Sidra liked seeing you in it, too. I think it helped her realize that you will one day be her playmate.

You know (maybe you won't know this until you're an adult) how parents fret over their babies? How they know they're ok but they still check on them just to have the reassurance of seeing them breathing? Well you have a knack for communicating that it's not needed. Often, just about the time that I'm going to check on you, you will do a nice sigh and then I know everything's good. It's not a 'I'm exhausted' sigh, it's more like a 'I'm really enjoying this sleep' sigh. It's just really good to hear it and know that things are good with you.

Love,
Aba
