Lots to Celebrate!!

Chag sameach, everyone!!
Sukkos is such a magical time of the year. So much simcha, celebration, excitement... Living in the sukka is always great fun for the kids, as is the novelty of the lulav and esrog. Not to mention decorations!

Two years ago, another dimension of excitement was added to sukkos. We were waiting for a little someone to make their appearance, and Adi joined us on Simchas Torah!
Needless to say, Sukkos will now be even more special each year.

I've been posting all the exciting stuff Adel has been doing, like walking with a walker. It was a huge deal, because it meant she didn't need to put all her weight on something for support.
Two weeks ago I announced that Adel is finally standing up on her own! No support whatsoever. Here is the visual for your eyes to feast on:




And just now! Two days before sukkos! The most wonderful, amazing, tender moment that I waited so, so long to experience- and didn't know when I'd have the privilege to see...



Count them! Eight! Eight steps!
There is truly a lot to celebrate and be thankful for this Yom Tov.
