Sleeping Beauty & Los Patitos




How interesting and rewarding it is to see your own child grow and develop their cognitive, motor, and social skills. The first time, however, when little Elaine slept through the night, Oscar and I were concerned she was not waking up and kept checking up on her making sure she was breathing! These long stretches of sleep, of course, then started being interrupted by her teething pains. But all in all, each development and stage carries its own surprises and beauty. Couple of Sundays ago, as I was playing with some of Elaine's duckies (patitos), "quacking" away, she suddenly started laughing histerically. With much amazement at this reaction of hers, we could not contain our joy and contagiously started laughing together with her. She is our little sunshine and we adore her - even though uninterrupted sleep is not yet (hopefully will be someday) a reality for our family:)

Here are some recents pictures and one of her first videos:
