New Video: Leo in Violet's swing

Went with a visit to Shannon and Dan's place last Saturday, and while his little friend Violet was sleeping in her bassinet Leo got to try her "rollercoaster" swing. He liked it too, by the looks of it!

This is not quite as effective as we'd like it to be, but both Leo and Mommy seem to be enjoying it :)

New Pictures: Leo's 5th week

It's been an exciting start to the 2nd month! Nana Stamenka came back and found Leo grew a lot and looks much more like Kriss now ! We also started going out more and even made it to a restaurant twice!

Today we saw some first real smiles and "gu, ge, ga" sounds. It's exciting!! He is much more interactive with his eyes and focuses on toys and faces for much longer than he used to. I (Tea) also found a YouTube video playlist that has 20 Yugoslav children's songs which Leo loves and stops crying almost immediately when they start playing. Definitely makes me nostalgic!

Looking forward to the next few weeks with the Polish grandparents! But first this weekend: Nana Stamenka, Milica, Dziadziuś Piotruś and auntie Paula will all be in town so we have a busy social schedule! These visitors are coming from 4 different countries just to hang out with Leo so we hope he behaves (France, Italy, Poland and Argentina)!

Strollin', strollin', strollin'...

Enjoying the nice and warm day (yes, Tea's coat came off soon after this picture was taken :) we took Leo out for a stroll as we ran a few errands. He was a little champ, not so much us uttering a squeak through all this, making Mommy and Daddy very proud and happy!

Out at brunch!

Buoyed by the success of taking Leo outside, the little guy getting his first shots and, honestly, missing a proper Sunday brunch, we decided to go out to Logan Tavern. So far so good, the little shrimp is sleeping nice and sound in his stroller, while the ladies are deciding on their mimosas and Eggs Benedict :)

Leo still sleeping on our way out

UPDATE: On behalf of Tea, Stamenka and myself I would like to thank Leo for being a really good boy and sleeping soundly through the whole brunch without so much as a squeak :) 

Out on a stroll

We've taken out Leo for a stroll, taking advantage of the amazingly warm weather (23C). Right now we're getting some gelato while the little guy is sound asleep :)

WeightWatchers alert!

Updated including today's weighing of 4.93kg

At the 1-month checkup (updated)

We went to the doctor's today for the 1-month checkup and first vaccinations (Hep-B). As usual, Leo was weighed and measured - he's now 4.93kg, 57cm long and his head is 39cm in circumference (all around the 75th percentile). While he clearly did not like the shot and was not afraid to let us know about it by crying like crazy, he then rewarded it by being a little angel when Tea strolled over with him to the World Bank.

New video: Leo's Third Bath

A.k.a. "third time's the charm", Leo finally enjoys his bath as a baby with Mediterranean roots should!

And to prove that was no fluke, here's a picture from bath #4:

"Oh yeah, me likey!"

New pictures: Leo days 25 to 29

"No pictures, please"

It's been an exciting couple of days for little Leo, with visits from some very young friends, more baths and a LOT of bouncing on the yoga ball (performed with the help of Mommy and Daddy, of course). Check out the full gallery here.
