7 Months on.

How quickly the time passes.  It is now 7 months since I joined the 'Zayde' community.  I feel my loife has changed in many ways.  I was so excited to travel down to see the darling this week, she has grown so much in the month I was away.  She can now hold up her head and she is beginning to crawl.  And, my how she giggles - this is a kid with a big sense of humour.  She has plenty to be happy about anyway, with adoring parents and 2 sets of adoring grandparents she came into the worls with a ready made fan club.

We went for lunch, pushing the famous Bugaboo and after we drifted into Carluccios coffee emporium.  Jokingly ordered a coffee for myself and my daughter and the little one.  The waitress noted it doen - '2 Capuccinos and 1 'babycinno''.. Yes really, a 'babycinno'!!!  I explained I was only being flippant but the waitress was unfazed.  No doubt she will soon be emailing from her 'Baby-pad' - the baby market is growing exponentially and my little darling will be the happy recipient.

Solly Eats Olives - the Angel Eats Spinach

Yes she is enjoying her solids!  How lovely to be tasting things for the very first time.  She enthusiastically munches her spinach - I have the photos to prove it! - so she obviously has healthy little taste buds.  I remember the first time I ate salt beef,  it was at a local N.London cafe/takeaway and I was 12 at the time.  I was with some friends after a night at the local jewish youth club and we went to this 'nosherie' and bought salt beef and lutkes.  it was then that I realised that we were without doubt 'the chosen people'.  I look forward to taking my little granddaughter for her first salt beef on rye sandwich - maybe at Reubens (so few good places left now) - I am sure she will also feel the weight of Judaic history on her shoulders - I will add a hamishe cucumber for good measure ;-)
