At this point in my life, there really isn't a lot to say. I was born really early on a Sunday morning.

I'm named for my great-great aunt Malka Pitluk (on my Daddy's side) and my great-great uncle Aaron (on my Mommy's side).  My Hebrew name is Malka Shira.

My Daddy has a really comfortable chest. It makes the perfect place to sleep. The only problem is that so many other people want to hold me, that I don't get to sleep in one place for very long.

This is my big sister, Robin Batya Silver. She was really excited about meeting me. She's going to teach me everything I need to know about being a girl in the Silver family.

My Pop Pop is introducing me to Great, my Daddy's Mommy's Mommy (that is confusing for me). She was really excited to see me, her fifth great-grandchild and third great-granddaughter.

Here my Pop Pop is holding me for Mom Mom to see. Robin is showing me the Clifford doll I gave her as a present. She really likes it.

 

Boy have I changed...

Here I am with my cousin, Rebecca...she's five days older than me.

Here's what happens when we get silly...(there was no crying involved).
