A moving weekend

While Markus spent 2 days in London visiting some of his clients in the UK Jakob and Kerstin did enjoy the spring-weather in Vienna as much as they could and the junior has made some big further developments during the past few days. Thursday was a really busy day as firstly the last session of the baby-swim course took place and after another 30 minutes in the warm waters of the Dianabad Jakob received his “diploma” for successful completion of the “pollywog”. As the little one liked the swimming so much he continues already this week with course #2 and he is now aiming to become a sea horse. After the course Jakob slept well in his pram and in the afternoon Anna and Lini came to our place and both Anna and Jakob enjoyed the sunshine on the floor of our living room. Later on that afternoon Fabio and Marina stopped by for a visit and the two boys did check out in detail the educational and musical toy which Jakob stresses very often.

Are they playing or fighting?

On the weekend the nice weather remained and so we spent a lot of time outside on Saturday and did visit Heuriger Kroiss where we will have the lunch for the family after Jakob’s christening in 3 weeks time while on Sunday we walked all the way from home to Laurenz, Claudia and Olli’s place – that way Jakob managed to get some 90 minutes sleep – for a brunch at which we were also joined by Maria, Valentin and Mirko. The three juniors were very peaceful (when Valentin turned the sofa into a piece of art with a painted heard he was very quiet) and the afternoon went by very smoothly. As Jakob did not sleep for more than 4 hours – he was nevertheless absolutely easy going – we also walked all the way back home allowing again for some sleep. Once we reached home our junior did what he was indicating every so often the past few days: he crawled forward! Accompanied by a lot of noise he moved a few metres (or was it less?), really enjoyed himself and it seems that the door is open now for more mobility I our house. Apart from crawling our sunshine has also perfected to get up into a standing position, whereas he still has to improve to sit back down again. Currently he is reaching that goal only by letting the hands go and fall on is bum. Due to the diapers the drop is cushioned though.
