Happy 8th monthday Leo!





Brunch time!

Gorgeous fall weather, happy sleeping baby, Rosemary's Thyme brunch - what better way to start your Sunday?


Leo's 8 month visit to the doctor

On Friday we went for Leo's 8 month check-up on Friday and it all went great - Leo is in perfect shape, developing well and remains tall and lean. He impressed the doctor with his happy demeanor, and only cried for some 15sec after he got his shots.

The biggest pointer from the good Dr Van Vleck for the coming months is that we should start broadening Leo's solids diet beyond fruit, vegetables and yoghurt, as he's now ready to eat anything we eat. Think about it - anything we eat! Chicken tikka? Blend, give to Leo. Pasta with sausage and veggies? Blend, give to Leo. Pasta Bolognese?... you get the point. If he'll really eat anything we cook it will provide an always welcome nudge towards healthy fresh foods - somehow blended cheese pizza does not sound like nutritious baby dinner ;) Of course there are some things we should avoid for now (fish, shellfish, eggs, nuts, honey) but that's pretty much it.

New video: Leo playing with Mama

Leo is a great baby for many reasons, but one of the top ones is that he's very happy and loves playing with his parents! Here are some shots of Leo playing with Tea:

New video: Leo has a hard time waking up

The first video is Leo in the morning - what we usually do is get him out of his crib once he wakes up, change his diaper, give him medication and then we put him down in his play area for ~30 min before we can feed him (because of the medication). Most of the time he's super excited about it, and loves playing with his blocks, books etc. But then sometimes there are mornings like this, when our little prince has a very hard time waking up:

Leo loves his Petit Beurre!

Just like Tea when she was a baby (and Tata when he was a bigger kid) Leo has really taken to Petit Beurre cookies!
