Aunt G had the beautiful idea to record Leora's first sounds immediately after her birth. She then put together pictures with the sound.

Grandparents
Leora will soon be getting more visitors. This Thursday her бабушка will be coming all the way from Russia to see her, and this Saturday her Poppi will be coming up from Virginia to celebrate Groundhog Day with her.
New Doctor
Diza saw her new doctor this past Friday. We found out that Diza is in the 95th percentile for weight and off the charts for height. She also got the green light to travel to Brazil this April.

Leora Diza
Leora Diza Baryshnikov was born on December 21st at 6:43 pm, just a few hours shy of the winter solstice. Her birth heralds the return of the sun and the days becoming light again. The name Leora is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "compassion; light". Sometimes we call her "Solnyshko" (soul-neesh-ka) which is Russian for "little sun".Leora's ancestry can be traced back to the Vikings, and so she was also given a form of the Viking name, Aldis. The first element Al- or Ól- is derived from *alu, "protection, fortune." The second element -dís is identical with the Old Icelandic dís, "goddess, priestess, female guardian spirit." A short-form for names in -dís is Dísa.
Diza is also a Hebrew name meaning "joy". Diza has brought great joy to her parents who got to bring her back from the hospital on Christmas Eve. This picture is is from her first day at home.
