Momi 3rd birthday party !

This morning Momichan awakened early and jumped in our bed, she asked about her party and I reassured her that in the afternoon we would have gone to the kid park but before we would have gone to take te Xmas tree and after lunch she would have had at least one hour sleep.

It's 15.30 and we are at the Kid's Park waiting for all the kids to come to Momichan's party.
I must say I am a little nervous, I want everything is going ok for my little Momo and she is expecting everyone to come to her party.

At 16.00 the first kids arrive, Momichan arrives from the bottom of the room where she was playing and says "hallo" to her friend, then looks curiously at the packet the friend is giving to her, I tell Momi to take the present in the place we have reserved for the party, the parents and friends go to the locker room and they reach us immediately.

The place is funny and amusing so the kids start to jump around and climb over the sliders and in the castle.

Momichan loves the ball pool in the babies zone and she loves the tricycle and little house so she runs there followed by daddy who is curios about all this I have organized and has an incredulous face also thinking at his baby daughter who is growing so fast, more than he could imagine and who is playing happily with her school friends and saying "thanks" everytime a new invited kid arrives with a present and she runs to put it in the special present corner in the party space ^O^
Martina, Giorgia, Lorenzo, Peppe, Andrea are running everywhere enchanted and Momichan is enthusiast even if a little confused because this is a special party and she is just 3 years old, she is not accustomed to many friends all in the same place coming because she told them and taking her a present but she is enchanted and runs to play with her friend Martina on the Peter Pan Galeon.

From time to time three of the kids stop at the party corner while the other play to eat pop corn in peace :-) then they run again to play ^^

Finally around 18.00 the last of the kids arrives with little brother, mum and dad, he is confused and seems not to love so much noise and confusion and at the start he weeps a little.

We call every kid because is time for snack, Momichan helps to distribute food, we have nutella sanwiches, pop corn made just a few minutes ago and small croissants with ham and cheese.

After eating a little Momichan asks me if she can open her presents :-) obviously she can, so some of the kids help her taking the presents to a large space and open alltogather. Momichan is so curious to see what's inside the packets: Peppe has taken a cute violet sweatshirt, really cute indeed a very nice idea, Martina has taken a kawaii Snowhite glass foto frame, Camilla has a Smurf little book, perfect to read Momichan before going sleeping in the evening, Giorgia has taken a kawaii soft cloth doll, Robert has taken a soft Hello Kitty bathrobe and a pair of Hello Kitty home shoes, Lorenzo, Alice and Andrea have taken a special blackboard we can also use to learn to count numbers till 10 and make addictions and subtractions. It's time for the cake and to blow the candles so I tell the owner of the kids park to take it, she comes with a collegue to help and a camera to make a special foto.

All the kids are grouped togather around Momoko behind the table, she smiles and blows tha candle, the lady clicks three fotos, all the kids are really kawaii.

The cake is really tasty YUM YUM, while we are finishing it the kids already jump away to play. Now Robert amuses so much, he no longer weeps and runs and jumps as all the other kids, his brother Ale, 7 months old, amuses even more inside the babies area in the center on the big park and his mother is so happy, I guess he was not convinced her kids would amuse so much.

Sampei has to go to work, so he waves goodby and kisses her daughter and goes away, we stay a little more, the parents of Robert and Ale will take us home.

The other kids in the meantime slowly start to go home, Robert, Ale and Peppe are still playing with Momichan who seems not to have the slightest idea to leave :-) but soon is 19.00 PM and the park has to close so we hurry up, I dress Momi, we take all the presents and we are out in the night.

Momichan doesn't want to admit but she is really tired, today she has not slept much because she had gone to bed for nap at 14.00 and at 15.10 I has wakened up so we hurry home, she helps taking her presents to the car and soon we are home.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN MOMICHAN !!!

Flowers

In my mum's garden campanule are starting to make a million flowers, mum bought a vase and in a year time they spread around everwhere, now there is a soft violet carpetcoming down the garage wall ^^
Momichan loves the coloured flowers, everytime she runs o see them.

Momichan Loves Strawberries

Since a little time, I discovered Hipp Shop Germany and we buy there for Momichan some foods, they have so many different types of pasta dishes with meat and veggies, special milk for the night which help the baby feeling more ... full so that Mmi can sleep mre without awakening three times every night, now she just takes milk at 5.00 AM and 8.30 AM

But the thing sje loves more is strawberries, I bought for her some special milk powders additioned with fruits, Hipp sells with bananas, apples, summer fruits, yogurt and ... strawberries ! Momi gets crazy about and she also loves fruits but she does not like to eat so I have to put the strawberries in a bottle and add a little water to make it a little more fluid, in this way she drinks it all and as it is fruit and not juice it does not contain sugar but just pue fruit and is best for her.

Soft Helmet

Momichan is starting to move everywhere, she wants to walk but many times she falls down also she moves fast now, so fast that sometimes we are not able to catch her before she falls down from sofa or bed (we have put soft cushions and carpets to help her) so to prevent damages to her head, this morning we went to Prenatal store and we bought her a special helmet, it's soft and aereated as you can see in the photo, although she sweats a lot. I feared she wanted to take away but seems she likes it, I made her see in the mirror and she laughed a lot, she never took the new special cap away, hope it will help also because in our new home, the walls are dangerous for her because are not like the normal ones, they are covered by many little stones, the italian name for that type of covering walls is "strollatura" (to see how it looks like give a look at this piece of wall of my mum's house).

Crawling here and there in the house, Momichan saw our cat Felix and she now moves quite well, she wanted to catch him but I guess the cat was not of the same idea ...
See the video ^__________^

VIDEO TO BE UPLOADED SOON

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) ^^

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 ^^

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 ^^

Crawling Again ^____^

Momichan is so strong now and since yesterday she is trying to move on her legs and arms but today she was able to ... see yourself ^__________^



She was so happy, laughed like crazy and was hilarious, this is just her second attempt and she already does, WOW ! I am happy to see her progresses and always tell her she is so clever, she smiles back at me happily everytime looking at me with her greyblue almond eyes ^^
WOW ! my baby is so big now ^______^


(ITALIANO)
Momi cresce e impara cose nuove, oggi ha fatto le sue prime vere prove di gattonamento !!!
Non sa ancora muoversi su gambette e braccine ma ha capito come posizionarsi e si dondolava avanti e indietro, felice di esserci riuscita, adoro quando impara cose nuove e ci riesce e le dico sempre che è bravissma, lei mi sorride e mi guarda coi suoi occhioni tutta felice ^^

Dukies, Balance & Bunnies

As it was a sunny day and Momichan is not feeling good since a few days, (she is nervous maybe because of teeth growing, also since three evenings she throws up the dinner and globally she is not eating much) I thought it was good idea to take her out for a walk ^^
First we went to the park and Momichan went on the balance, she amused herself so much, she laughed and felt confortable ^^

As the park was closing, we decided to go mum's house since is a few days Momi is not seeing her granny because of the weather (it has been raining).
Crossing the little bridge with the small water flow, we saw a mother duck and her little babies, 10 little soft dark brown little duckies taking a fresh bath, here there are ^^





Then we went to mum's house. I had to change diaper to Momi so I washed and cleaned her and put on a new fresh diaper and then left her free to make her experiments on the bed, she had aten her milk and fruit today for snack so she had plenty of energies ^^
After a while we went out in the garden to see the bunnies, they have grown so much and now are very big, Momichan loves the bunnies she always looks at them carefoully, there are 9 of them in the cage 4 of which are entirely black ^^

Therewas still a lot of light but it was already 20.00 o' clock so we came back home, during the walk she felt asleeep but she awakened in time for dinner, I changed menu and gave her veggies and meat and this time she ated all and didn't threw up ! WEEEEEEE ^_____^


(ITALIANO)
Momichan non sembra stare molto bene recetemente, è nervosa forse per i dentini, fatica a dormire, mangia poco e da tre sere vomita tutta la cena e in generale mangia poco cosi ho pensato fosse una buona idea distrarla portandola a spasso un pò.
Siccome oggi c'erano 30 gradi, le ho messo una tshirt e un paio di pantaloncini cosi aveva gambette, piedini e braccine tutti nudi (lei è felicissima quando può avere i piedini nudi) e siamo usciti.
Per prima siamo state al parchetto e ho provato a metterla sull'altalena, sembrava sentirsi a suo agio e si è divertita un sacco, mandava gridolini divertiti ^^
Poi siccome il parco stava chiudendo, siamo usciti per andare da mia mamma e attraversato il ponticello abbiamo visto sotto un anatra coi suoi pulcini, 10 piccoli batuffoli natanti col beccuccio chiaro e il corpo morbido marrone scuro pigolanti e buffi, che teneriiiiiiii !!!
Poi siamo arrvati da mia mamma, Momichan non vedeva la nonna da qualche giorno perchè aveva piovuto e non eravamo potuti uscire.
Dovevo cambiare Momichan così la ho messa sul lettone di mamma e dopo averla lavata, pulita e cambiata, la ho lasciata giocre sul lettone per un pò e lei ha iniziato a fare un sacco di capriole e i suoi primi esperimenti ... ha consumato un sacco di energie ma oggi per la prima volta da 2 giorni aveva fatto di nuovo merenda per cui di energie ne aveva tante ^^
Dopo, siamo andati in fondo al giardino a vedere i coniglietti, sono cresciuti moltissimi, lei li adora e vorrebbe sempre toccarli allunga le manine ma purtroppo mordono e non mi fido a farglieli toccare.
C'era ancora luce ma erano già le otto di sera cosi ci siamo incamminate verso casa e Momi, nel suo ovetto siè addormentata, si è svegliata a casa dopo un po in tempo per la cena, ho cambiatomenu e invece del frmaggino che adora le ho dato verdure brodo e carnina e lei ha mangiato tutto il suo biberon e non ha rimesso !!! WOW !!!

Sitting Momichan

Momichan needs to get stronger in her muscles so we put her now on a carpet clean and soft and with the down side covered with rubber so that the carpet stays fixed on the floor withou moving.
She is not yet able to sit alone without a help so I use the special cushion we used to give her milk when we came home from hospital after her birth, with that cushion she is able to stay and play with her toys comfortably ^^

(ITALIANO)
Momichan ha bisogno di rinforzarsi i muscoli per poter gattonare e camminare più avanti cosi la mettiamo su un soffice tappeto che ha un lato di gomma cosi da rimanere bello stabile e fisso sul pavimento senza spostarsi, per questo utilizzo lo speciale cuscino a banana che usavo per allattarla tornata a casa dal ospedale dopo la sua nascita e che non ho più usato quando ho iniziato a darle i biberon, il cuscino l'avvolge e lei si può appoggiare stando così comoda e dritta in posizione seduta visto che è stufa di stare sempre sdraiata ^^

Cookies ^^

Momi does not have teeth yet but even though she likes sometimes to suck a bisquit, a Plasmon one I usually put inside her bottle to melt inside milk ^^

(ITALIANO) Momi non ha ancora nessun dentino ma nonostante ciò a volte si diverte a succhiare i suoi biscottini Plasmon di quelli che le metto nel biberon assieme la latte per merenda e che le piacciono tanto ^^

Momichan takes a bath ^^

Today we had been around all day long, going supermarket, to the park, to granny's, day was hot so when we came back home I tought it was nice idea to make Momichan relax to bath her.
As soon as we got home I took her dresses off and diaper also and leaved her move a little on the bed. She likes to make experiments to roll but up till now she is not yet able to make a complete roll and turn back :-)

After a few minutes I took her little ikea washtub, put inside a little of Fissan cleansing oil and the plastic duck and put Momichan inside. She seemed to like the bath, she kicked, laughed and she moved all the time.

(ITALIANO)
Oggi siamo stati in iro tutto il giorno, al supermarket a fare la spesa, al parco, dalla nonna, cosi quando siamo tornati a casa ho pensato che era una buona idea fare un bagnetto a Momi.
Le ho tolto i vestitini e la ho lasciata sgambettare sul letto cosi lei era libera di fare le sue prove di giravolte e poi ho riempitod'acqua la vaschetta, ho aggiuto un pò di olio da bagno Fissan e la paperella di gomma e ho messo Momi dentro ^^
Lei rideva e si divincolava tutta, sgambettava e sembrava molto felice ^^

SAYOUNARA

Momi tries the bike ...

As our car is broken and we cannt use until we find spare parts (but is not easy because car is 14 years old and we have to find used ones), Momichan's daddy has had to buy a mountain bike to get to work (it's 20 km nearly everyday and he cannot do by feet also when he finishes work at 2.00 AM there is no bus to get home anyway).
Today we were at mum's house to eat alltogather and after he had to leave from there with the new bike so Momichan was trying the bike to be sure it was comfy enough for her daddy .... mmm ... "does not seem so comfortable" says her face :-)

(ITALIANO)
Visto che per l'ennesima volta la nostra macchina è rotta, (i pezzi di ricambio non si trovano più facilmente perchè l'auto ha 14 anni e la fabbrica di quel modello non esiste più cosi dobbiamo aspettare che il carrozziere in un colpo di fortuna trovi dei pezzi usati e ce li monti ma per il momento la macchina non può circolare) il papà di Momi ha comprato una mountain bike per andare al lavoro.
Lui fa il cuoco e quando finisce il lavoro alle 2 del mattino non ci sono mezzi per tornare a casa per cui per non farsela a piedi ha dovuto comprare una bicicletta che visto che non va a benzina è molto economica.
Oggi eravamo a casa di mamma per pranzoe lui poi doveva partire da qui invece che da casa nostra. Momichan ha deciso di provare a sedere sulla bici di papà per vedere se era comoda abbastanza ... mmm ... pare di no, dice la sua faccina ^^

(il signor Anonimo che continua a scrivere commenti idioti, è pregato di farsi i fatti suoi visto che non conosce la nostra situazione e non deve permettersi di giudicare le nostre scelte !!! e se vuole che i suoi commenti siano presi in considerazione, si registri col suo nome e se ha cose intelligenti da dire che abbia il coraggio di firmare i commenti col suo nome !!!)

Momi rolling ^^

Momichan is trying to roll upside down but up till now she doesn't succeed in coming back, when she gets on her belly she is not able to come back on her back so she starts to cry.
Here she is on her belly before getting acquainted she cannot come in the other position ^^

(ITALIANO)
Momichan fa pratica di giravolte.
Lei sta sempre sdraiata sulla schiena ma adesso prova anhe a mettersi a pancia sotto il problema è che a pancia in già poi no riesce a tornare supina e si arrabbia ^^
Eccola sul lettone mentre fa le sue prove ^^

A New Present ^^

A friend of mine since long time who has 2 children, has recently given me some dresses andtoys for Momichan that she doesn't use any more because her kids have grown up.
Dresses are so cute andstill less used I will not need to buy any for my baby since we got now enough :-) and also toys she gave us some more like this cute clown that is really new and Momichan likes quite a lot because it tinkles and has a star/mirro that she can look herself inside (do not know if she knows the image belong to herself but anyway it makes a cute light when the sun strikes through)

(ITALIANO)
un amica di lunga data che ha due bambini più grandi di Momo mi ha dato recentemente tre scatoloni di abitini che loro non mettono più perkèsono diventati piccolo e alcuni giocattoli, uno è il clown che vedete qui sopra, nuovissimo, Momi lo adora perkè suona e tintinna e ha uno specchietto in cui si vede non so se ha capito di essere lei ma le piace perkè la luce fa buffi giochi quando colpisce lo specchietto ^^
