hello


We had a long day! Today, we enjoyed a relaxed morning with noticing how Reuben is holding his head up really well for short whiles. Then I noticed he is now enjoying his relaxing chair and the toys on it are being noticed...so his vision must be getting better and better! We are 4 weeks on Tuesday and he is indeed growing and developing. I am amazed at how well he sleeps once he is off and then how he seems to wake up after 3 hours often 4 for feeds. He has pretty much developped a routine having said that he has the occasional days when he is just not very settled! he still loves his baths and we are now bathing him nearly every day especially as its so hot!

We met today Granny Smith's first causin Jennifer from Canada, together with her grand daughter Aiden who is 10. They came to see us as they are visiting England and family here. It was lovely to spend the day with them and get to know them.
Granny Ibi and aunty Rebekah (Maria's mum and sister) are still around til TUesday and they cooked lovely cabbage rolls and a home made cake today which we loved!!! It was like being back to Romania.

Today Reuben had been the first time in a sling and he loved it. He fell asleep within the first 10 mins and then we had a walk on the highstreet and he just slept all the way through.

Now, he had a bath and he is fast asleep on daddy;s chest...time to go to bed (moses basket) more tomorrow when we have Ioana visiting mummy;s best friend from Romania now living in Uk. She has not seen us yet so it will be interesting to see what she thinks of R!!

Hello!

Today is granny's name day! IBOLYA DAY! Also it is Efraim's 9th bday in Slovakia (this is Reuben's first causin, Aunty Elisabeth;s middle son), so we woke up and the sun was shining and it was promising to be a good day! daddy;s second day back at work he came home bareing gifts...from a colleque called Chris and his lovely wife Allison. IT is indeed sweet of them....Reuben still gets many cards and gifts. We pottered around and then went to the baby clinic to be measured. It was good news as Reuben has gained weight and he is now 4.060 kgs which is 8 pounds and 16 oz!
We had a good long stroll, a feed when we came home and then a good sleep! I mean me and R and granny as well....so we are all energised for the evening....!!!:))

Some colic still gives us grief but much less than normal!

Daddy back at work! Wow what a shock to the system daddy is back to work today! We were left to our own devices thanks God Rebkah and Mum still around. We had an easy morning reuben slept a lot today, then we had visitors Lynne and Sophie from church and then we walked to Chatham to do some random shopping, have the passport pictures done and well....just have a walk. We enjoyed the trip Reuben only woke once for a feed....of all places in the Pentagon! It was funny trying to wrap the pashmina on and feed!! Some people gave us the look but hey....I am sure every other chav does it! Perhaps in a bit more style!!!:)))

We had a nice dinner with daddy and a bath and its bed time now!

Looking forward to more of these walks. Ah, and how nice to see Natalie, Cameron and family both on the way to Chatham and on the way back!

Today was a busy day and a hot day! reuben was a really good boy slept loads and enjoyed the day. Mummy and Daddy had breakfast (bday breakfast) at Lorenzo while reuben slept after the feed then daddy took Anna to the airport while mummy sorted out the mess in Reuben's room....some clothes don't fit R anymore as he is now 55cms. He had another good feed and bath then we went to the church to say Happy Bday to Rachel and meet some friends. R recieved some pressies. A nice photo album from Noeleen and Calvin together with some money and some outfits from another friend....loads of bots and pieces. We also got the video re: Christening....something to do in September probably.

We got home ate a nice lunch that granny cooked, then R had a feed more sleep and mummy slept too while daddy watched the GRAND PRIX HUNGARORING!- R WAS on and off daddy's chest which was great so daddy goes back to work tomorrow and he will be missing him so much!!!

We had Mairi and Richard visiting who brought us a lovely teddy from MAMAS and PAPAS. Teddy Barnaby came with a lovely message that said : I will be always your friend! that is so lovely! We also got a lovely giraf from the girls at Maria's work at the Uni....and he has accompanied us on our walk to Suzannah and Tom and the twins and reuben loved his company.

We also had Cheryl (God mother) visiting Reuben today, she and Reuben are so good together....!

This afternoon Anna Dobai arrived a friend from Hungary- Budapest...sh also came bareing gifts! We chatted this evening and now we are knackered hopeing to catch some good sleep!

hello


Today we have been to the sea side in Whistable, with granny Boros and Rebeka and enjoyed a good 2 hours on the beach then a stroll on the hightsreet. We are growing well, feeding well and sleeping a lot! Granny said we only letting our voice heard occasionally (but mummy gets stressed as she does not like me being upset)...tummy aches are still there but less then before!
We want to think there is a routine already in eating and sleeping but it could be that we are just for a while this good.

We are looking forwrad to spend this week with daddy still as he is on holiday but he is back at work next week.
