Super Baby

Jasmine at Louis' play "Guys and Dolls"
November 7, 2007-Ottawa

Baby Jazz as we refer to her now has been up to some amazing tricks in the past couple of weeks. She has now been with us for three months, and her progress is incredible. When we met Jasmine in Guangzhou in August, she was quiet, and serious, and having some trouble sitting up.

Now she sits up, she crawls up on her knees, she claps her hands, she plays peek-a-boo behind the curtain beside her high chair. She eats by herself, she can hold her little bottle, she waves bye-bye, and she does her own version of Super Baby.

When Jasmine gets really excited, she gets a very funny expression of determination on her face, and she punches her fist in the air. We thought this was hilarious, she looks like Wonder Woman when she does this.

So every time she did it, I called "Super Baby", which she thought was really funny. And now she does super baby on command. Jazzy likes to imitate me, and Louis, and Pierre, so you just have to look down, way down when you are doing something, and quite often she will be doing the same thing.

I've been off work now for nearly four months, and I am having an incredible time. So much joy, I just want to savour every second.
