Dear Reader,

You may notice certain significant details in today's photo, assuming you can tear yourself away from my startlingly cute self:


First, I have achieved grownuphood, having left behind my high chair for a booster seat.

Second, and in the same vein, I am drinking from a cup with a straw, and have almost learned that I don't have to tip it up.

Finally, Daddy has started me on Hebrew -- but he says I won't have to parse anything until I turn two.
