4 Weeks Old !!!

Today, (from left to right) Anat, Claire and Mica (4 months old) came over to celebrate Ayla's 4 weeks of life outside the womb. We all went for a nice walk in the woods (at Ayla's insistence of course).

Ayla, enjoying her party :)

Today Ayla is 4 weeks old. She has changed so much in this short time and is developing very rapidly. We are enjoying every minute of her as this phase will pass all too quickly. Yes, we are even enjoying not sleeping and rocking and dancing and walking at all hours of the night. She makes gurgles and grunts and has "sleep grins". She stares wide eyed when carried in the forward facing position. Ania took her to the grocery store and she was transfixed. She has started being awake for longer periods after her meals, sometimes lasting even 4 hours. She's so incredible ! And after having one, we just want more - we are hooked ! As Ania said, "I can't believe I have been trusted to care for something so precious".
