A Milestone Moment: My Pandemic Baby’s First Wave to Strangers

Today was one of those small but mighty parenting milestones—my little one, born in the thick of the pandemic, waved at strangers for the very first time. After years of keeping our distance and navigating a world where faces were often hidden behind masks, this simple gesture felt huge. I watched with a full heart as my child reached out with a tiny hand, curiosity and trust shining in their eyes. It was a reminder of how resilient and adaptable our kids truly are, even when their earliest days looked so different from what we imagined.
