Week 47-March 9-March 15-Wow baby, I need to become strict again with your bedtime. For weeks, you have been staying up FOREVER and while I love you more than anything in this world, I do need some 'me' time. So tonight, bedtime resumes at 6:30.

Papa and I have noticed that you will raise both your arms above your head, so Papa started saying, 'Papietta!' which means victory in Russian. So every time we say it, you raise your arms or vice verse. We both roll over laughing each time you do this.

You are getting taller now and thus able to reach higher places, like the tops of our nightstands and bookshelves. This means all breakables are pushed back further and books and magazines are removed as well as heavy objects. It is adorable to see you reaching your tiny arms for something and your delight when you do reach what you want is emotionally satiating.

On the 14th, you began waving hello. Awesome! Now when we walk down the street or Papa enters a room, you wave hello. You truly make our hearts melt.

We love you!
