update
Yes, it’s been a while. So much has happened since we got back from Prague (such a long, long time ago). Saba’s grandmother, who we call Maman, has been visiting us since the Prague trip. It’s great to have the touch and nourishment of a grandmother’s presence (and great-grandmother) at home; Tara plays at her feet everyday, and Maman chants and sings to her non-stop. It has been total Persian immersion for me–Farsi and cooking, which are great bonuses in addition to having a second pair of eyes. Tara is now in her 7th month and is crawling, sitting, standing, eating solids, and teething (little tooth at the bottom has popped out). Sorry, no pics at the moment. Fa laia.
