New video: Leo dancing

Leo loves music, we already know as much, but recently he started "dancing" to the music he likes as well!

New video: Baby Mythbusters - Hats

Each time we give Leo a bath and wash his hair we want to put a hat on him so that he does not get cold. Unfortunately, the little guy really does not like to wear a hat after a bath - it can turn a smiley baby into a crying one in a matter of seconds :(

Leo Week 10

Today we had a wonderful Easter lunch with our friends hosted by Vicky, Matteo and Martino. It was a beautiful day and everyone enjoyed the good food and great company!

WeightWatchers: 6kg

This week Leo reached another milestone: 6kg! Good to know all the meat and butter we've been (indirectly) feeding him is not going to waste!

New gallery: Week 8

Here is a series of pictures taken last weekend of Leo admiring the birds in his bouncy seat. More to come soon.

My sleeping boys

We had an exciting weekend in NYC. On Friday, Kriss presented his research to his department and Leo & I took the subway all the way from Columbia University to NYU. Of course, we had to change a very dirty diaper just when we got there and NYU does not have any family friendly bathrooms so we had to get down to the floor! (twice) Leo met Kriss's advisor, John, and all his other colleagues at Stern. And he proved to love the Snuggli (thank you Valentina!!).

This picture was taken on Saturday morning. Looks like both Kriss and Leo were tired after such an exciting day. I went to present at a panel on Milica's book, "Serbia's Transition Towards a better Future". Our panel was a hit and Milica's book was very well received. And I felt good doing something intellectual for a change but I missed Leo!!

We had a great time in New York, more pictures from the weekend coming soon! Thank you Camille for hosting us!!

On our way back to DC

Rainy weather out there on the road, stopped for some warm coffee and a Cinnabon :)

On our way to NYC

Only about 20 minutes into our trip to NYC Leo decided to have the poop of the century, forcing us to venture off our path to change and feed him... on the civilian parking lot of the NSA!

Trip to the Polish Store

After seeing Leo's new pediatrician (whom we like very much) we went to the Polish store in Rockville, MA (called Kielbasa Factory). Of course, true to form, Leo was immediately hungry, but since necessity is the mother of all inventions we found a way to cope!

Subaru's new model - the Outback Feeding Station :)

Happy Birthday Tea!

Yummy birthday pancakes!

From your husband, who made you birthday pancakes, your mother-in-law, who took care of Leo so that you could go to the movies last night, and, last but not least, your son Leo, who left you a big, big present in the diaper :)

New Pictures: Leo's 7th week

We apologize for not posting anything the whole week but it has been a busy and exciting week. Babcia Lucyna arrived last Thursday. Leo has visits from Shannon, Dan and baby Violet in Saturday and Tom, Ksenija, Luka and Luana on Sunday. On Monday we went to the Tidal basin to see the cherry blossoms and it was a very hot day. Leo loved it so we are looking forward to summer! On Tuesday Tea and Leo went to a Mommy group at the breastfeeding center and shared stories of problems and successes. Leo slept like an angel the whole time proving that he is very well behaved in public! On Wednesday we visited Vicky and Matteo and met their new baby Martino! We think Leo and Martino will be good friends! Just give them some time. On Thursday Tata had to go to New York so Mama and Babcia went to a Thai restaurant and had an adventure as Leo had a big explosion in the middle of lunch and we had to change his clothes. How many people can say they were naked in a restaurant at 2 PM!! Sadly no pictures are available from "the event". Tea and Leo also went for their first Thursdays at Haik's. Only Haik was there and treated us to a great Armenian dish - chicken with walnuts. Yum!! And we have an exciting few days ahead: shopping on Saturday, Tea's birthday party on Sunday, and his 2 month appointment and shots on Monday. And next Thursday our first trip to New York!! Fun times.

Happy bath times

Keeping the shrimp warm!

Just a small improvement in our bathing routine - a warm wet towel keeps the little shrimp warmer above water than constant pouring of warm water does. Still cries after the bath, but we've also developed a system to minimize that!
