It's been a great thrill over the last few months to observe how our 5 month old reacts to her older sister. Put simply, she adores her. She's always looking around for her sibling, and the mere sound of her big sister's voice is enough to send her into peals of laughter.
It was therefore even more heart-warming to see the roles reversed the other day. We were at dinner, and the baby was watching us eat, eyeing the food hungrily. I asked her if she would like some of our "adult food" and with the timing and delivery of a world class comedian, she let out a sound that could be heard far and wide as "yeah!"
The look on big sister's face was to die for. Sheer, unadulterated bliss. Followed by a squeal of joy, arms thrown up in the air and a yell of "She can talk! We have to call the doctor and tell her that she can already talk at 5 months!!"
Moments like this are what I live for - and it's amazing how many of them you encounter in a day if you keep your eyes and ears open.
