This is what is keeping us busy lately… In the past few weeks Marie-Hélène has become more and more brave in walking across the living room toward the window with the low sill. Misjudging her distances, she has managed to bruise her right cheek, then her left cheek and then, most recently, her chin. Now, as she wobbles upright toward the window, Christian will race from the dining room toward her, and give me a heart attack in the process. “RELAX!” I tell him in a voice anything but relaxed. Isn’t that how they learn?

About 5 minutes later, she wanted her socks and slippers off. She’s also decided that she doesn’t care for the food we usually feed her, and it’s left me scrambling to find things she’ll actually like, worrying that she isn’t gaining weight in the process. It’s a transition, I tell myself, but it doesn’t make it any easier… Right now, she likes sauerkraut pierogies and Cheerios in milk in the morning. Yes, sauerkraut. She got that from her Austrian godmother, I say. As for her appetite right now, it comes from a hummingbird.

Sauerkraut? Wow! That’s unique. Maybe it’s because she liked the sour taste from the beans you were feeding her from my bean salad! Maybe you may need to discuise sauerkraut in with rice cereal. or something that will help her put on the weight.
As for Jasmina, I don’t know if you checked out the new photos of Genevieve and Sebastien, but they are really nice.
M-H is sure doing well trying to motor around. Have a good day.
that’s so adorable, you guys know what this “walking” means? Yes that’s right more running around to make sure she’s not getting into trouble… Welcome to the world of pulling your hair out. ;o) mmmm austrian sauerkraut…
She liked the beans from your bean salad! It seems to be the only way she likes them!
It’s so fun to see her go from room to room… Our little blond midget making her way…
