A new challenge

Earlier this week we have had another appointment at the paediatrician with the main purpose of additional jabs for the little man. The immunization has been taken with lots of courage but obviously also with a loud scream going alongside the injection, but luckily this was the last (programmed) visit to the doctor for two months and hopefully also the last injection for a while. With a size of 66 cm and a weight of 7520 g after 18 weeks our junior is still well in the upper end of the development range and its quite obvious that recent illness has not caused any harm to his growth.

On Thursday morning a new era has started for Jakob, when he had his first session of baby-swimming in the Dianabad, not too far from home. At home in the bathtub we already realized that he likes the wet element and is enjoying himself and therefore we were optimistic that he would also like the indoor pool. Apart from the fact that he is not so enthusiastic about lying flat on the water and relaxing - he has the permanent urge to sit up and raise his head - it was good fun and we understood that he is looking forward to next weeks session. The big question mark is how he will like the diving, as that part was skipped in the first session. What turned out a real challenge was for Kerstin to changing & towelling our active son and herself in a rather small changing area with plenty of other moms with their children and many strollers in the way as well, but she is confident that experience will make that task easier going forward.
