Dear Chaya, congratulations on reaching this auspicious milestone! May you have a long life to 120! Amen!
This month we celebrated Sukkot. It was nice to give you some gifts, and spend so much time in the sukkah. I think you enjoyed it! Of course we ended the holiday with Simchat Torah, which we kept pretty low key this year. Covid is still a thing, you know?
You are down to 2 bottles at the start of this month, but by the end you’re only having 1 every few days. It happened pretty quickly, and you just seemed to loose interest in it, and gain a BIG interest in eating lots of food!! You love to eat pureed apple with homemade fermented coconut yoghurt and farex, any type of meat, but especially fish. Sweet things, of course (much to my disgust), and lots of fruit. Berries are a keen favourite. This month you’ve been having rice bubbles with almond milk for breakfast every day which is super cute. And you eat quite a lot! I was worried you would be demanding food as soon as you work up in the morning, because you liked your bottle early, but you’re not. You eat at about 6:30 when I wake up. Which is about 2 hours after you woke up!!
So yeah, the waking up thing. You sleep pretty well in the night. Maybe you wake a bit but you put yourself back to sleep very easily these days. BUT it’s coming up to Summer, and you’re awake when the sun wakes! Blackout blinds are making their way to the top of our priority list very quickly!
You have five teeth now, and the 6th isn’t far off! You are a fairly easier teether, you just get a bit cranky and clingy. Sometimes a little bit of drool, but other than that it’s not too bad.

You still mostly have 2 naps a day – usually because you sleep easily in the car, and tend to fall asleep as we go out in the mornings, or even just if it’s a morning we have to drive a little further to drop Ahava at kindy. BUT if you stay awake then you just have one long sleep towards the middle of the day, and I like this much better!
You are so so so close to walking full time. You can DEFINITELY walk, and you like to do it a lot, but you don’t always choose to walk. You get better and more confident every day, and I expect any day now you will be a full time walker. It’s been so exciting to watch you develop in this way – you have strong strong legs, and I love to watch you use them. 🙂
You are a bit of a chatterbox too – always trying to talk to us and tell us exciting things. You LOVE to point, and I really do want to start teaching you some baby sign soon (I’ve been saying this for…. oh, 7 months now?!)
CC you love to smile, and you give AMAZING cuddles. Legit, people comment on what a good cuddler you are! You’re a little wary of strangers at the moment, but still, for the people you know you give massive cuddles. They are so warm to receive and fill my love tank to the brim!
Thanks for being part of our family, our precious Chaya Sefira.
