Dear Koala Bear,

You were three weeks on Saturday!! Time is still flying. Your first month birthday is not so far away. That is mind boggling, to think you will be here a month soon.

Last week is a big blur. I am trying to remember what we did as I type, but it is now tuesday and so we are two days away from last week and so I have no idea what we did anymore. I know it involved sleeping and feeding you and trying to console you when you are annoyed at being alive and don’t know whether you want your nappy changed or something to eat or some sleep. Or you are just tired of the two crazy people who look after you.

Oh, now I remember. Last week was a bank holiday here on Thursday so Papa and I had a great long weekend. Thursday to Sunday. In days gone by, we would have packed up the car or gone sailing somewhere, but last weekend, we minded you. We took you for a walk in the Prater which you slept through, but generally enjoyed. We also toyed with the idea of going to the garden shop and IKEA for a quick trip, but decided against it. You and I watched a lot of the French Open on monday, tuesday and wednesday. You continue to grow but you are still not grown out of your new born baby grows and vests. But I can tell you are definitely getting heavier and your face is changing.

Your papa and I had great fun trying to take your passport photo. I have included some of the expressions you made. We got there evenutally however and soon you will have travel documents I hope.

The journey continues, but you have some definite habits, like the hand sucking and the snorting and the unhappiness when you fall asleep at my boob, unlatch and then wake up in a tizzy because someone turned off the milk tap. No one turned off the milk KB, but you fall asleep! I try to keep you awake, but eventually you fall asleep. The chocolate and vanilla are always there for you!

So much fun. I spend too much time laughing at your funny little habits! Your papa tells me I shouldn’t laugh at you and mock you, but it is so hard not too. Your expressions entertain me.

love,
mutti
