Noodles !

Momichan is starting to eat noodles instead of classic infant food, so yesterday I bought some little spaghettini, some rings and some shells.
Today for lunch I choosed the shells and boiled in water, added in her plate some omogenized tomato and veggies and made a normal pastasciutta that we childish was call "pasciuttina" ^^
Seems she loves it really because we already gave her three times and she eated it all every time, she opens mouth so much and she's totally happy ^^

CIAO CIAO ^^

Cookie !

Doctor didn't told us anything at all about breakfast for our baby, she said us only what to give for normal meals so Momichan since 2 months already is having lunch, oyatsu and dinner that she eats with the spoon, bottles she uses only for her milk in the evening and at night at 23.00 and 05.00 o'clock but since a week we have added also breakfast ^^
We try to give her different foods everytime, sometime she eats a danito, or a yogurt and fruits or fruit omogenized like today.
As she has two teeth now and likes to bite everything, we thought it was nice for her to chew a cookie so after she had eaten all her fruits we gave her a cookie. She liked it so much that she eat it quickly, obviously we gave her a Plasmon cookie, the ones you can put in the milk and melt ^^

Baby Walking ^^

Momichan is growing very fast really, every day is a tons of sourprises.
Today we were in mum's garden and I was holding Momi by her arms and she was standing barefeet in the grass trying to walk, well ... she put a feet after another so quickly she did 4 meters nearly running !!! HAHAHA she still doesn't have the right balance to stand by herself and walk alone but if I hold her she does ^^
When we came back home (our home) she was sleepy and tired so I gave her a bottle insteda of her meal but she awaked again and started to play. I put her near the sofa with her toys (as you see in the foto below)

and went in the kitchen to cook something for me for dinner, when I came back I found Momichan crawling around the table quietly ! HAHA

She is really quick in her progresses, teeth, crawling, walking ... I guess if she continues like that she will be walking before she gets 9 months old ^^

Stands Up By Herself

This evening I was in the kitchen washing the bottles while Momichan was inside her Pogy in the living room. Suddenly I heard a tinkling, something like someone touching glass ... I thought it was strange because Momi couldn't reach any glass ... or she could ?
Well I went in the living room and found her this way ....

She had gotten up by herself helped bu the table and she was streching to reach the vase of the cookies !!! This is the second time theese days she sourprises me, she is really growing up so quickly WOW ^__________^

Granny's B'day

Today is my mum's birthday and same day Momichan is 7 months old ^^
As Sampei was free from work yesterday we had a special day yesterday with cake and special lunch.

We went to Ikea (inside was fresh and little Momo fall asleep in the meantime) to buy a little plant for mummy as present and a present for Momichan (a Barnslig tinkler shaped hippo) and some frozen salmon and sauces for a special dish, before coming to mum's house we retired the cake from the shop. Once home we cooked the fish and Sampei prepared the appetizers and we had finally lunch YUM YUM
This is the cake ^^




Here is mummy with little Momichan, (you can see even her two new little teeth) she was so happy she continuously laughed and tried to touch the cake with her small hands an we made her tast it also, she seemed to like but not so much ^___^




It was so hot that when I hugged Momichan to change diaper and prepare to give oyatsu I found her completely wet ! still now I do not really know if wet was sweat or pipi or both things anyway I had to make her a shower, change diaper and ask mum to lend me a clean tshirt because I didn't had with me a complete change for Momi so here she is with her grandpa tshirt (I also had to ask for a towel to put on the ovetto for the other one was completely wet)

In the foto, Momichan is holding her new Barnslig Hippo tinkler, guess she liked because is red and makes a strange sound ^^

CIAO CIAO ^^

Momichan is 7 months old ^^

Our little Momichan is now 7 months old ! YEEEEEEEE

New Bed For Momichan ^^

A friend is having a baby and we need to change bed for Momichan because she need one with the lateral we can take away so that she will have possibility to get into bed by herself so we are giving or Sniglar bed to our friend and take the new Hermelin for Momi, we still not have decided if red or blue, that will depend ^^

We also decided we will buy the curtains you can see in the second foto, name is Barnslig Djur, my mum wants all house to have white curtains, she says from outside all house must be elegant, I hate white, in my home all curtains have always be coloured so if I take this ones for our little room, she will se white from outside but we will have coloured one inside and we are all happy ^______^
We already bought the blankets because Momichan is sweating so much and I only had two set which were not sufficient, this ones are really soft, something like ... uhmm ... same soft you can have only if you have a blanket set you use so much and have washed so much, gives a nice feeling, seems cozy ^^

CIAO CIAO ^^

A Day AT The Store

Air is really hot theese days, about 36 degrees and we do not have air conditioned at home, Momichan is not feeling good with hot and she is terribly nervous poor child so yesterday we made a fresh bath ^^

Today instead we visited Ikea because she needed a new set for the bed (blankets and cushion)and mummy had given me some money to buy her a present for her 7th month so I took a Barnslig Lion and a Camel, Momichan got crazy for them, she was laughing and playing all the time.


















Inside the store there is fresh air and poor Momichan who was entirely red for hot soon smiled again as soon as she felt fresh. I had taken with us fresh camomilla to drink and her snacks so after having taken her things, we took a seat at the bar, I drank a free coffee and gave Momichan her fresh yogurt (I always go around with small thermo bag with ice inside and snack food for Momi) and she eated all, she loves strawberry more than bananas, apricot and apple ^^
She was really happy today, she was playing with tons of toys at the kids place, saw so many babies, had oyatsu, crawled on beds and kicked in the air in the space for beds and sofa, played with the mirrors at the bathroom exposition and much more.
When we got finally home she was tired, I made her a bath, changed diaper and put on a new clean pijama and gave her dinner, she played a little bit more then she felt asleep ^^
She's so cute when she's smiling now with her new two tiny teeth ^_______^

Hipp Hipp Hipp ...

Today we had not much time to prepare lunch and we needed to go Ikea to look at some items for Momi and the new kitchen we will have to buy for the new house (we already found a proper name for that, our house name will be "l'isola che non c'è" - the isle that does not exist - in memory of a song of E. Bennato from the album of Peter Pan), so after a short look at the things we needed we went to the restaurant to eat something, we had 2 discounted tickets to buy a portion of meatball half price so we both took 10 meatballs with boiled potatoes, lingonberry sauce and sour cream sauce and a water bottle.
For Momichan we bought two vases of Hipp food you see here under, she ated much of it and seems to like, it was the first time she was eating at a restaurant and she was really good child ^^

Taro Giro Saburo

In Japan Taro Giro and Saburo are very common names, translated into italian, they sound somethign like First, Second and Third ^^
I gave theese names to the three bears Momichan plays and sleeps with more or less in the order they arrived. Taro is the first one, we bought in Ikea before her birth (bear in the middle), Saburo is the biggest one (left bear) and Giro is the one with the pijama (left bear also bought in Ikea) ^^

Bed Lower Position !

This evening I had to put Momichan's bed into lower position because for first time she got up by herself holding at the bed. I was cleaning her bottles in the kitchen and she started to weep as sometime she does when she lost her comforter or else so I reached her and I found her this way ............

She had never done it before, I was astonished ! never got up in her bed, I have thought "if she does this next she will try is to try to get out of the bed to reach us but she will bump her head down falling out of the bed" I said to myself I would lower the mattress tomorrow but then I thought she eventually would make something stupid during the night or in the morning before we could get her so I started immediately to modify the bed to put her mattress the lower position and a fter 20 minutes work I had succeded ! WEW now her bed is safer even if not so comfy for me because to lift her up my back will ache much and I do not know how to give her bottle and kisses in this position (cannot reach her with my face to kiss her goodnight) but anyway I hope now she will stay comfy and safe.

Here is the bed after my hard work, now is safe ^^

Second Tooth !

This morning also the second tooth yesterday we saw still under the gum has come out so now little Momichan has two teeth in the center and she can do so nice smiles now HEHE
Here is the particular of the two new teeth (foto not easy to do)

First Tooth

WEEEEEEEE !!!
Momichan was a little nervous theese days, we thought about theeth but every time we looked her nothing was appearing until this morning when just by chanche I noticed a little white upper part of a tiny tooth !!!
YIPPE YA YEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY !!!
Little Momochan now has her first tooth and this little masterpiece has a twin brother nearby who I guess, will appear in a few days.
GOSH, seems yesterday I was coming back home with little Momochan between my arms so little and quiet needing everything and now she has grown up so much already, guess this summer she will also start to walk a little ^^

A New House ...

We have decided for many reasons to change house and organize for the moving in september to go to mum's home ^^
For a while, house will be really small but maybe in the next future we will have the possibility to make it bigger including one of the two balconies but for now it will be a tiny 40 square meters home.
We will have a bathroom, a large room for kitchen and living room and a small bedroom that will be most Momichan's room :-)
It will be a new adventure, for the start we will sleep alltogather in the small bedroom but as space is not enough to put our bed, we will sleep on futon and Momi's little bed will stay near the window, it will be funny.
When we will have chance to make it larger we will sleep in the living room on the sofa and room will be mostly Momichan's, even if we will put our bed inside (she will use in the future when her little bed will become small) and a drawerchest and the cupboard for dress for eveybody.
Also the kitchen we will have to buy new, because we cannot take our old one with us but we will have fridge, oven, microwave, washing mashine and dishwasher ^^
I am so happy because our baby will have possibility to grow with a big garden in which to play, her granny will see her grow and we will help each other, also we all will be more relaxed than we are now, always with home charges and loan to pay ^^
Do not think it will be all a bed of roses, anyway we will be always in my mum's home even if divided by a door and with an independent entrance from outside, we will not be as independent as we are now, everything has a price but I think we will be all more relaxed and that is what is important for my baby.
I know little apartment will be cute and anyhow, jewels and precious things are small isn't it ?
Guess little by little this new home will be so cute even if we all will have to be very much organized and will not have any possibility to fill the house with tons of things because there isn't space enough and everytime we will but something new we will have to give away something old.
We will have parties for Sampei's, mommy, mine and Momichan's birthday all in the new home and hope for X'mas to have at least half kitchen with current water and gas.
We will make so many new decorations using polarvide blanket from Ikea and so many other gadgets for Momi ^^
One of the things will be our Xmas tree made of textile because there is not a corner where to put a real tree, another thing I want to do is a kind of clock for the seasons so that Momi will know everytime which season it is and what to expect ^^

Balancing on ovetto ...

Momochan has discovered her "ovetto", in the sense that now she knows she can move it up and down to balance so she does and laughs like a crazy ^^



In the afternoon we went to mum's house and I put Momochan on the grass to play, she tried to move on legs and arms like a cat or a dog but she's not yet able enough, anyway she moves fast rolling and pulling HIHIHI ^^
