With Sandra and Heidi arriving in Vienna on Tuesday evening after an odyssey (caught in a traffic jam just outside Munich and loosing another hour in Vienna basically around the corner from our place) we had a full house all week and Jakob has had a lot of entertainment. Long walks, shopping tours, a first visit to Starbucks and many games were used to keep our little treasure happy. With his two teeth the exercise of giving him our small finger to suck on has become a challenge as sometimes he has the urge to bite and that can really hurt. Kerstin, still fully breastfeeding, has had the joy of such an urge while she was feeding Jakob and her reaction - a pretty loud scream – seem to have made it clear to the little man that this action has hurt. By now the interaction has improved significantly and so one can really have a „conversation“ with him.
A family get-together on "neutral" territory in Styria
On Saturday we have planned a family get-together in Styria with a booking at Steirereck am Pogusch, a very fancy, yet original restaurant 1,5 hours away from Vienna. While a visit to this restaurant has become a tradition for us with Markus’ parents, sister and brother it was the first visit for Jakob, Sandra and Heidi. The food was delicious as always and all three rookies have liked the visit a lot, whereas Jakob clearly spent more time outside in the sun enjoying the fresh air, and the time was flying by. Hard to say whether the enlarged group will become a tradition as well, but we will for sure return to Styria and we are convinced that Jakob will also in the future spent lots of time outside watching the goats and geese or simply playing on the meadows.
Jakob, Kerstin & Markus
