Happy 4 months!

Hi baby Zoe,

On July 15 you completed 4 months of your life. A pretty olive dress, complements of Grandpa Avram, barely covered your diaper. A white shirt and a white bow made you extra festive. We went to Fabi & Rosi where you spent an evening wrapped in a blanket before, having pooped on your outfit. It is also the restaurant frequented by our cat Alcatraz on Friday nights, as I was told by the owner.

Grandpa Avram has been waiting ("with four eyes" they say in his language) to share this day with you. He wore a suite and a tie - no, this is not how my birthdays were celebrated, if celebrated at all ;-).  You were hungry, and a tad tired, so you cried on the way. I was afraid to take you in, but managed to take advantage of a moment of silence. As soon as we sat down, I started nursing you, which turned your mood around. You were a happy baby, unaware of the bow or the dress on which you drooled immensely.

We took pictures, drank wine, and ate a cake with a candle placed by the chef and blown by me. It was an elegant evening - a contrast to the wild little Zoe. The following day was your 4-month pediatrician visit.
