It is so hard to believe that next Wednesday, Sofia will be 8 months old. Time sure flies when you're having fun! Her personality emerges more and more every day and she ticks off the milestones with warp speed... She is a happy, bubbly baby (except when we don't do what she wants us to do and then the little she-devil comes out briefly). She loves hanging out with me and is always super delighted to see Bobby. She babbles, her first word was mama, now she added baba and nana and every combo of these imaginable. She is walking fairly steadily with our support, can stand on her own holding onto furniture and just started showing interest in crawling. She can pull herself up from sitting - in her crib only. She loves the puppets from Baby Einstein videos, her yellow ducky and any chewable book.. oh, and anything yellow! She would love to play with our cell phones, remote controls, water bottles, wine glasses... if we let her. We are learning to remember to put things away from her exploring hands... we lost several full food containers and glasses already.... she can also clap and just learned to wave bye-bye! She mostly uses her left hand for all these things - we might have a leftie!!! She is just a a delightful little girl. I'd like to think her separation anxiety is getting better and she is doing quite well in daycare! She is growing up so fast and changing so much daily!
Bobby and I are doing well. Apart from watching and enjoying our big girl, Bobby is a busy bee at Sfoglia. I have started working at a gallery in town (10 hours a week) and might pick up some office work for my old boss at her catering company... we'll see. The dog and the cat are a constant entertainment in our house (think almost cartoon-like chases, the cat hiding around the corner and waiting for the dog....) and together with our garden, we are keeping busy... 4th of July is almost here and now that we have a little American in the house, this is one of the holidays we will try to honor and enjoy more. Raising a child in 3 different languages and honoring 3 different cultures will be hard, but we'll try to do our best....
Je velmi tazko uverit, ze buducu stredu bude mat Sofia 8 mesiacov. Cas leti ked je zabava! Jej povaha sa ukazuje viac a viac kazdym dnom a mala odratava dolezite vyvojove medzniky rychlostou vetra... Mame vesele, spokojne dieta (okrem pripadov kedy ju neposluchame, vtedy vystrci rozky ta mala priserka v nej). Velmi rada sa hra so mnou a vzdy sa rozsvieti ked vidi Bobbyho. Blaboce, jej prve slovo bolo mama, teraz uz pridala aj baba a nana a vsetky mozne kombinacie. Ked ju drzime za ruky tak uz celkom slusne chodi, vie sama stat opreta o nieco a konecne prejavila zaujem o lozenie. Vytiahne sa zo sedenia na nohy - ale len v jej postielke. Rada pozera babky v televizii, zboznuje jej zltu kacicku a hocijaku knizku.. oh, a hocico zlte! Rada by sa hrala s nasimi telefonmi, dialkovym ovladanim, poharmi... ak by sme ju nechali. Uz sa ucime veci posuvat daleko od jej skumavych ruciciek... podarilo sa jej zhodit zopar nadob plnych jedla aj poharov.... uz vie tlieskat - spievam jejtap, tap, tapusky - a prave sa naucila mavat pa-pa! Vacsinou pouziva lavu ruku - moznonam vyrastie lavacka!!! Je proste uzasna. Dufam, ze sa jej strach ked je bezo mna uz trosku lepsi a celkom jej to ide v jasliach (dva dni v tyzdni)! Rastie ako z vody ameni sa kazdy den!
Bobby a ja sa mame fajn. Okrem travenia casu s nasou babikou, Bobby toho ma dost na praci v restauracii. Ja som zacala pracovat v galerii v meste 10 hodin tyzdenne a pravdepodobne zacnem uradnicit pre moju staru sefku ... uvidime. Pes a macka nas permanentne zabavaju a ak pridame aj nasu zahradu, obaja toho mame dost na praci. Den Nezavislosti je uz za dverami a teraz ked mame nasu malu americanku doma, je to jeden zo sviatkov, ktory sa budeme snazit slavit viacej. je tazke vychovavat dieta v troch jazykoch a troch kulturach, ale snazime sa...
