Shai watching the waves from the beach blanket

May 18 · The ocean made a terrible first impression.

This month, in brief

A little braver.
A little louder.

Six steps became eleven. The mixing bowl became a drum. And on our first trip to the beach, Shai decided the sea was best admired from a safe distance.

01 / By the sea

The sea could wait.

We brought a bucket. Shai brought a healthy suspicion of waves. There was one careful toe in the water, then a long afternoon moving sand from one place to another. We found more of it in the shoes on the way home.

Small sand-filled shoes, a sun hat and a red bucket on the beach blanket — May 18 · A little of the beach came home.

Shai taking first steps toward a parent's hands at home — May 5 · Six steps, all on their own.

02 / Finding their feet

The whole room cheered.

From the sofa to Dad’s hands. Six steps on Tuesday, eleven by Friday. Every arrival ended in a tumble and a laugh, then two little hands reached up for another go.

Shai playing a mixing bowl with a wooden spoon on the kitchen floor — May 24 · The kitchen has a new drummer.

03 / Before dinner

One bowl. A whole concert.

Dinner was running late. Shai found the mixing bowl and gave us a soundtrack, stopping after every few taps to wait for applause. We clapped. Dinner got a little later.

A note for later

The photos show your first steps. They can’t show how quietly we held our breath before you let go.

All our love, Mum & Dad
