More brushing

Rosa loves to get her hair brushed. I use a really soft brush they gave us from the hospital when Eliza was born to get the tangles out, then my regular brush, just for the feel of it. Rosa sits very still with her head tipped a little bit back, her mouth a little bit open, and her eyes a little bit closed. When I stop, she says "More brushing!" I know exactly how she feels. I love getting my hair brushed too.

In other news, as of early June, Eliza is waving. I credit it to Papa Misha who was out visiting with Grandma Lois, and did some nice slow waving with Eliza. That was the first wave I saw from her, and now she's doing it more and more. In fact, she and I wave at each other every night when I put her down in her crib and am saying "Night night." I've found that if I keep a big smile on my face as I turn off the light and close the door, she usually doesn't cry. (Hope I'm not jinxing myself!)

And finally, we had an absolutely lovely 3rd birthday party for Rosa yesterday. At a playground (as requested), with lots of nice friends, and a beautiful day. What more could you ask. Pictures coming soon (it's too late to do all the downloading, selecting, uploading, captioning, etc. tonight).
