Kate in Warsaw!

My parents are far too busy for writing blogs, so I'll have a go myself. Last weekend they took me to some freezing country called Poland, because mummy had to give a talk on a conference there, so me and dad had to go for the "fun" of freezing and looking at architecture or whatever. Anyway, as we arrived on Saturday, our luggage did not fly with us apparently but went another way, so we had no nappies for me and although very excited to be in this Poland, Holland or whatever, had to run to a huge toy shop to find me some nappies and pyjamas! That was fun, coz they had a bear making factory there and I was wrapped up in the hotel duvet, looking like an overstuffed bear myself. I pretended to be asleep while mummy pretended not to be able to find the right size of pyjamas, while of course she was just exploring the newly discovered polish collection of baby attire for me :) haha, I know it all! At the end she chose well - a nice cozy pink polka dot PJ with a side closure as is very trendy at the moment!
Next day our luggage arrived and we went to explore this architecture thingy blah-blah.
In front of our hotel was a big gift from mummy's country to Poland, this big house, here is us in front of it:

Then I was sleepy and mummy took pictures:

then after some time I woke up because I smelled food! We were on the Christmas market:

We wondered for a while and papa looked frozen and desperate for a mulled wine:

I really dont know why they dont sit in buggys themselves. It is obviously a self inflicted torture, to be able to look at architecture or something.

Then we found it! The foody place!

Long time no blog but we are crawling now!

and here is the video of the first crawl the morning after the first ever crawl :) it was slightly frustrating as any first endeavours are, but now, only a day later, we are happy to report, it is much less of a chore!

Papa ride!

August news

We have some exciting developments in the last weeks! Last Monday (2nd of August) Manchego as we now call Katherine between the two of us (long story! :)) started clapping! She clapped for papa when he came home from work, all were very impressed. Yesterday (9th of August) Kat has enjoyed brushing her teeth for the first time. I almost gave up trying and suddenly last night she was so eager , she opened her mouth wide for more! We see our third tooth kind of shining through the gum and expect it to pop out any day.
Kat now says papapa and mamama, wawawa and bbbbbb :)

New photos in hats and all :)
