Day 10

Today we stollered our baby for the first time!

She loved it!  We walked around for at least 1/2 an hour.  When we would stop she would try to rock, like “let’s get a move on you guys!”.  Then we swung a little.

Usually she sits and holds on very well but today she was feeling adventurous, I think.  Then a little PT:

She loves walking too.  After our visit, we tried McDonalds again and I think I mentioned how nicely that worked out!  We’ll be visiting there again soon!

We had planned to go grocery shopping during our recess but the internet took up all our spare time.  We could go to the “supermarket” but it’s too far away for walking and our driver is already expensive ($30 p/day) so we’re going to try one of the many little markets located nearby.  (BTW, if you need anything from a pharmacy, look for “ANTEKA”.  The second letter isn’t really an N, but looks close.  They are EVERYWHERE and carry pretty much everything you can get at Walgreens – except make-up!)

Our second visit we got to stroller again for a bit.  Then we visited a playground we visited before and sat and watched a little Babysongs again, and let our girl enjoy a bit of apple juice again.  We’ll keep giving her about 4-5 oz if she wants it.  She leaks a lot so I’ll be getting those nice Carter’s bibs I had for Jack that absorb and have a layer of plastic so their little shirts don’t get wet.  We stayed outside about 45 mins to an hour until it starts to get dark, then went inside and sat on our usual couch.

She tried to eat her overalls, so we gave her this again:

I think she likes it!  And then, a little planning:

 

And finally, anyone want to guess what’s happening here??

And at the end of the day we did a little more laundry and had our usual cup of hot chocolate.  I brought some instant stuff from home and they have these really cool “kettles” that plug in and boils water in minutes.  The cups here (in this apt) are tiny so I make 1, then dump half into another cup and fill them both with more water.  It’s perfect!

And we do have satellite tv here, but there’s only 2 channels in english, ESPN Europe (which runs the 2006 strong man competition daily) and RTG – Russian travel guide which is just oh so exciting.  But while flipping channels this evening, guess what I found:

HAHAHAHAHAHA!
