Snoop Dog in da house

On Saturday the temperatures dropped and it was raining in the morning and therefore it was the right day for a lot of food. For lunch we went to Renate & Werner for a huge bowl of Werner’s famous Wurstsalat. Even though Werner was distracted from preparing lunch by a huge badger which haunted their backyard we not only had enough to eat but also the quality was as good as always!

In the evening we were invited to Sandra & Flo’s place in Bregenz for some Mexican dinner following by watching the large fireworks of the Bregenzer Stadtfest from the terrace overlooking Lake Constance. With temperature significantly lower than the days before we decided for the first time to put Jakob into one of his pairs of jeans. For the first visit to his godmother’s flat we really pimped our son’s outfit including a pair of blue Chuck Tailors.

Yo man! Gimme a mic' and I rap you a rhyme!

The traffic into Bregenz was as always very bad – German and Swiss cars who want to avoid the highway toll take the route through the city and cause daily traffic jams! – and as we were not moving fast enough Jakob was complaining (=screaming) all the way and could hardly be calmed. Upon arrival though he stopped being noisy and by the time Markus has carried the Maxi Cosi up the stairs into the flat our little treasure was sleeping. What followed was almost spooky, as he briefly woke up when we took him out of the seat but fell asleep immediately again. During dinner and also during the fireworks he was sleeping peacefully in the arms of Renate. A brief waking period was used for feeding before we got on our way back home and he went straight back to sleep. Not even the transfer at home from the Maxi Cosi into his cot and a change of clothes disturbed the sleep and he only woke up at 0300 again, making it the first time with 8 hours of sleep with only 25 minutes break for food.
