The firsts. Round two.

First smile, first bath, first cooes,
First tzedakah, first lulav first shabbos too

By far much better in any weather
Than first seizure and first fracture

Little girl is well traveled already,
First trip to shul, to the mall, to the airport,
And she's touring the boroughs she seen three already
But no visits to hospitals or specialists or surgeries

At two months yossi was below his birth weight, now Miriam Simcha is the same age and she's already moving to the next clothing size and doing more still. She's starting to find her fingers, to move around in her bed, to observe everything going on.

And I just keep watching her in awe. That she's here, that she's healthy, that she's mine.
