cake

Leora's mom made a cake on the day Leora turned 6 months old. Due to fatigue, a corresponding lack of focus and other technical difficulties, the cake was not really a success. Mom and baby are still recovering from jet lag, which may be a factor.

6 months!

Leora Diza turned six months old today! Her mom found an "excersaucer" for her at a garage sale which greatly captivated her attention. Everything needed to be explored by mouth. Leo-di also gave a running commentary, "nang nang ning...".

plane

On the way home Leora Diza enjoyed the in-flight movie and made friends on the plane. First she met Maya and Adam, and then sitting behind them were two more children named May and Adam! Leora wishes her new friends the best of luck and hopes to see them on her travels again some day.
