Baby Moments

In the evening, after we had dinner, daddy sliced some watermelon and he was crazy enough to let me on the counter with the big bowl in front of me. I was sooooo happy. I started digging in the bowl and squish every little piece of watermelon. It was sensational. You HAVE to try. I also eat some, but the squishing part…priceless. I was all covered in watermelon juice: pink, shiny, sticky and sweet. That was me… what did you think?The latest thing for me is to grab thing and hide them beside, under my bum. Nobody can find them there. Only I can know where to find them

I really have to go for a big shower. See you tomorrow. Bye!

Lately I am staying with granny Lidia more to give mommy time to do some things that I usually don’t let her do. She sings to me, she is very patient with me during my meals – when I like to play with my food or my naps -when I like to sing myself very loud. But today I gave her just a short brake to go with mommy to the park. I remembered how much I love the swings by laughing so loud that the whole neighborhood heard me. Then she put me in the slide. The first time… nothing, the second time… a face but the third time… I hate it. So we left the slide and found a wheel and some steps that were far more interesting and funnier than the slide. But I got bored of those too. So I decided to sleep. It’s so nice outside… the sun, the noises, the wind… helped me to sleep pretty well.

A few days ago I was playing with daddy and I showed him how much I can split my legs apart. I started to laugh really loud. And he stretched my legs until I had an almost perfect split and I was the happiest boy ever. Since then everybody makes exercises with my to keep my flexibility. I don’t really know if it tickles me or it’s some pain, but the wider they get the harder my laugh is.

At bath time Bubu was playing with me and I don’t know how, I lost my balance and I slipped in the water. I was perfectly fine (mommy was there and got me out), not even a little bit scared, I would say happy, cause mommy put me on my feet and I could splash more easily around  but Bubu was in shock. He got terrified just thinking that something might happen. He loves me so much that sometimes he prefers to hurt himself protecting me than to know that I might be hurt doing something. After he came back from his shock he hugged me really tight and told me how much he loves me. I have the best brother in the world. And I love him as much as he does.

I forgot to tell you that the doctor told mommy that she can stop give me boiled water for milk. And I seem to be fine with the tap water.

My discoveries… they are going pretty well. There are a lot of interesting things around like shoes, plastic bottles and… our cat, Pepsi which is really furry and funny. Especially the way he moves his tale looking at me to see if I’ll grab it or not. Well… I would, but that tale has to stay in one place. I am to young to grab it while it’s moving. But it’s still funny.

Mommy made me last night cheese from fresh cow milk. That was gooood. She mixed it with rice and PC organic strawberry yogurt. I think I’m gonna have some more today too.

Today we all got in the car and made a short visit to Kati. I didn’t see her in a while and I had to show her my new tricks. And, of course, I impressed her. A lot. I was really curious about everything there, so I showed her my “crawling” in full action

I’ve got a lot of complains that I don’t write anymore. And a lot of new things happened in the meantime. So…maybe I should start sharing them with you:

17th of April- Saturday My first top tooth is out. It involved a lot of drooling and not that much crankiness. Now I can say that I can, if I want, to get chunkier things to chew like cucumbers or toast, which I looove. Sometimes I don’t want anything else to eat except some toast. Of course, mommy takes care to get my vitamins from the fruit juices. I get 3 of them daily : apples or pears for breakfast, carrots and celery or strained soup for lunch and grapefruit or orange for dinner. Today also I managed to climb on daddy from my bum to my  feet. Yeeeey!!!

19′th of April-Monday My second top tooth came out. Now, I think, I can be relaxed. No more teething for a while. But the problems are not over. We had Bubu sick with a very ugly ear infection. And in the past 2 nights I didn’t want to sleep at all, so mommy took my temperature and I had 38C. That’s not good. She presses my ear to see if I have the same infection, but I didn’t react at all. Maybe it is because of my new tooth… She took me to the doctor anyway. The doctor checked my everything and I looked fine. She said that there is roseola going around and it might be it. That means, after the fever is gone, a big rush will come out to end the suffering. Today I was really determined to see what is so attractive to those blinds beside my bed, so, I made sure that nobody watched and I got up from my bum to my feet. By myself. Well… nothing interesting about them, just some noise, but the thing that I did… far more interesting.

24th of April- Saturday After Monday I was OK with my fever and my moods, but for the last 2 nights… again I didn’t sleep. I just cried, and cried, and cried. So they took me to the doctor to learn that I have the same wonderful ear infection that Bubu had (he is much better now). I’m taking now Amoxicillin for 10 days, 5ml twice a day an I HATE it with every part of my body. You should see how my mouth is perfectly sealed only at the sight of the antibiotic syringe.. At least they found out what I have and they are doing something to ease my suffering. I’ll be in perfect shape until Tuesday when my grandparents (Lidia and Mitica) will come. I can’t wait to show them all my new tricks.

27th of April-Tuesday Today I’ll have visitors and I am still sick I didn’t sleep…again, I cried and cried and cried… again and I went to the doctor… again. I found out that my body and my immune system are really strong and I became resistant to the antibiotic so she switched to Cepfrozil (the same as Bubu) 3,5ml twice a day for another 10 days. Maybe this time it will work. This one taste muuuch better than the first one. And we got mommy sick too. With the same thing. This is the perfect moment for my grandparents to come and take care of us

4th of May-Tuesday My doctor’s day! With my lack of eating and sleeping, mommy was worried that I lost all my fluffiness, but I managed to grow somehow. I am 10.2 kg and 74.5 cm. My antibiotic works well. I am much better now. The eating… not so much. I like bread. No. I love bread. Toasted or just like that I never say no. And I also love any other food than mine. It is tasty; mine is… bleah.

In the mean time I am glad that my food is starting slowly to taste better and stronger and I am happy. I am doing a lot of things. I like to take mommy’s glasses off and give them back to her to put them on and I do it again and again and again. I was doing the same thing with Bubu with a bath sticker. He put it on his chest, I got it off and give it back to him to put it on his chest… I love those things. I also like when people take turns in making sounds. One of these days this happened between Lidia and Mitica. I didn’t let either one of them to get twice in a row with the same sound. Every time one made the sound I would turn to the other one to get the sound. Smart

My assisted walking is already pretty good and fast. A few days ago, mommy took me for a walk around the house (apparently outside is winter again ) and I walked happily back and forth until I realized that is music coming to my ears from somewhere. When I discovered the source (daddy was listening at the basement) I froze on top of the stairs, cause I couldn’t see nothing from that spot. But I looked at mommy and her smile told me that I could go there (with her). I started slow and I got faster when I recognized the place where I love to sit with daddy and just listen to music together. This time it was Tchaikovsky. I showed him a face… I don’t think he will go soon without me in this spot.

Around 9th of May I started… crawling. Well… more like a caterpillar, but, as daddy said, I started functioning pretty well and fast. And I am so happy. Now I can get wherever I want. Especially at that place with a lot of buttons called TV, computer and other stuff. I looooove it. But they won’t let me go there and I don’t get why. Aren’t the buttons made to be pushed? Or turned? Because I got moving so fast, they put up a gate so I can’t go down too fast to the basement and hurt myself. I didn’t discover it yet. We’ll see.

Today I discovered the door stop. It is like a string and if you hit it slowly it vibrates and makes a really funny sound. I’ll try to go around to find out what other goodies they hid from me till now.

Now that I slept with mom and dad again, of course I didn’t let them sleep. I was that anxious to start my new normal routine that at 6 I woke up fresh and showed myself  with my big eyes in the peek-a-boo corner of my bed. Mommy couldn’t believe it so she took me on her chest and she held me tight and rocked me until I fell asleep again forgetting about my fresh early start. I slept until 8.30. Bubu stayed home again cause he had fever so we didn’t get out at all.

Today, for the first time, I had my first attempt to push myself up on my feet. I was on my bum, I leaned on the ottoman and pushed myself on my hands. I didn’t move at all, not even a centimeter, but the idea and the hand move were there. Now that I know it, I’ll practice it more often, cause today I got a little bit frustrated, so I have to succeed fast to go wherever I want.

I finally had my bath… Mmmmm….. Sooo good. Now, I have to have a good sleep. Good night!

I had  a better night. Maybe because Kati slept with me so mommy and daddy can have a whole night of sleep. They deserve it after what I did to them 2 nights ago. My eyes look much clearer and my energy level is back to normal. And of course I’m back. Today I had mommy, Kati and Bubu to take care of me. Poor Bubu had to stay home, because this light cold was trying to get him too, but he is the strongest and toughest brother in this world. My day was actually a wonderful day, except I didn’t go outside. I miss that, but mommy promised me if I have a good night, tomorrow I’m going out. (like she has any choice. She has to take me to drop Bubu at the bus )

She also got me some baby snacks that I loooooove. She tasted them and they seem pretty bland, but what does she know? They are for babies, not adults. She also got some baby yogurt and mixed it with the cheese & rice meal. Yummmm!!!

Tonight I’m going again to bed without my wonderful bath

I can’t wait for my normal day with my usual walks and bath. But I’m more than sure that tomorrow is that day. I’ll tell how it went.

I don’t feel well at all. I had a horrible night and I didn’t let anybody rest. I woke up suddenly screaming for countless times and, taking turns, mom and dad took me on their tummies to comfort me. I can’t breathe properly and I don’t let anybody clean my nose, even though is running like a shower. They had to change me once because I sweaty (I guess it’s a good thing to sweat when you have a cold); in the morning mommy put on my chest a “Fever bug” (sticker thermometer. It’s not really accurate, but it’s doing its job roughly) and it showed somewhere between 37-38 C degrees so mommy gave me again some Tempra drops. Bleah!!! I have no idea why did they make them with such a strong flavour when we have to have our food almost bland.

I told you that I don’t let anybody touch my nose. Well, you already know that I love my nose treasures. They are mine and only mine. Until I sneezed . And they escaped. You should see mommy’s face when she saw them. I almost got dizzy after, that much air I could breathe in.

I need sleep to recover, so I slept with help pretty well during the day. I am thirsty most of the time but water is a big NO NO. I want juices, tasty juices and I am not in the mood to wait for mommy to make them so I kind of giving her a hard time. But she’s smart. She called Kati to help her out. He he he!!! I am smart too. I have 2 persons to bug now.

It’s a good thing that Kati is here because I’ll stay inside today to recover and let mommy go get her schedule with Bubu with no problem.

I think my top teeth are trying to come out. They start to show trough my gums, but they didn’t break through yet. So this is another reason for my moods, I think.

I wish to have a good night, to breathe easily.

… and I don’t like it at all. I am cranky if nobody holds me or if they dare to put me down. But I can’t say that this was my worst day. No. My appetite was fine, my naps as well. The evening was a really runny one around my nose, so daddy decided to put me in bed without my bath. They gave me some Tempra, my milk and sweet dreams. I will stay during the night with a mini fan from Neo Citron that will clear my airways and help me breathe and heal easier. Maybe sleep the whole night… Who knows? We’ll see.

Every time we go out I fall asleep right away. Not today. Mommy and Bubu took me out for a walk, hoping that I’ll fall asleep, but I didn’t. So, after they walked and walked they decided to stop at a playground to let Bubu play a little. But I got bored, so mommy took me out of the stroller and put me in a swing. Oh boy, that was fun. I was laughing as hard as I could, that much fun I had. We met a girl about my age in the next swing, Katia, and we played together. After swings we went on the slides. Fun too, not as much as the swings. Because I was a little absent, mommy put me back into the stroller and went again for a walk. I was so curious of surroundings that I decided to lift myself from the recliner, comfortable position into a sitting one. For the first time. It was pretty exhausting and I fell asleep soon enough.

At dinner time I was a little cranky and mommy gave me a piece of cucumber to calm me down a bit until my juice was done. I was fascinated by it and it actually was quite tasty.

I made my first steps! With mommy holding me, of course, but for the first time I knew what I am supposed to do with my legs, meaning… steps. Yeeeeee!!!! Soon I’ll be independent and I won’t need anybody to carry me where I want, if they can understand where I want.

The rest of the day… nothing new to tell you. I am the happy baby, until I want something. And I make myself heard. I still don’t eat well, drink is OK, and still don’t sleep the whole night.
