Week 28-October 27-November 2-You are really sitting up independently now. No more wobbling and toppling over. You are also reaching for items that peak your intrigue. If I am holding something that you want, you cry until I give it to you. You also have begun inspecting your hands and fingers, usually right before you go to sleep. You will touch your fingertips on opposite hands together gently.

When you nurse, you have begun, grabbing hold of my other nipple and squeezing it. I am not sure how you find it without looking, but you do. It's like you have radar.

We went to the pediatrician for your six month set of vaccines and you now weigh 15 pounds and are 26 3/4 inches long. A perfectly happy, healthy little girl. While the doctor and I were speaking, you were having a ball playing with the mirror. Dr. Schramm and I were both laughing. You are too cute!

Calanit and Joshua had their baby on the 23rd of October. His name is Eliyahu, but I suppose you know that. At his bris on October 30th, my mom was holding you, front and center, to my dismay. Apparently, you were busy blowing raspberries at everybody. So much so, that you sprayed the little girl standing in front of you. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Afterwards, at Kiddush, a woman came up to me and told me how funny you were. You are really a little comedian.

When we were in Seattle, Papa and I got you a little grand piano with four keys on it. You like it but it is still a little difficult for you to hit the keys. We also got you some stacking rings. You LOVE this toy. You play with it every morning while we are still in bed. You take the rings off and suck on the post, you suck on the rings. It is perfect for you.

Baby I love you so much. I don't really remember my life before you came along. It is like my heart didn't really beat until it met you. I am so glad for you. You help me become better.
