How has a year gone by already? On April 3rd we celebrated Ronen's 1st birthday. My baby girl, my 2nd born, is a one year old! Time keeps rolling on. She is at a fun age. She smiles, laughs and babbles to herself. She into all kinds of trouble as she crawls from room to room trying to explore here ever-expanding world. She hugs her stuffed animals, organizes her toys as best she can, and gets pissed off if you take something she wants... might need some anger management classes later in life. She still doesn't sleep through the night but that this point that's old hat.We had a small (kinda) gathering, for the birthday celebration, here in our apartment with many of Sara's family and some friends. Sara made banana cupcakes for everyone, and Ronen housed her birthday cupcake. She also was gifted many fun toys, and clothes. It was a fun day with family and interesting to see how Ronen dealt with all of the attention even if she didn't fully understand what we were all celebrating. She was smiley, and chipper. She was crawling all over the place, waving at people, and even standing up on her own several times. She still needs help to actually walk but that will happen before we know it.
Before Ronen was born I was nervous, not about being a father again but about having child number 2. How could I possibly love a second child as much as I love my 1st daughter? How would I be able to share the love between my children? Turns out I needn't have worried. (Shocker!) Ronen is as wonderful, awesome and challenging as her big sister and in her own unique ways, and I love her, of course!
I meant to post this in the days following the birthday celebration but here we are, over 2 weeks later, and I'm just getting around to posting. Since the party Ronen stands up all the time has taken numerous steps and once even walked across the room when she thought I wasn't looking. She's a little wobbly on her feet but she's getting the walking thing down. Now, if only she'd sleep a little more soundly at night.
