UPDATE: Sunday 22:30 12 done. Very good! I can finish the rest on Monday.
21:58 To add to our exciting Saturday night (sirens & fireworks), the church bells went off at 6AM on Sunday... Of course we were already awake. #
21:58 Today mum picked me up early from school. I was very happy and excited when I saw her. We went to this strange place. #
21:59 There were 5 other babies there... all very small 7 to 15 weeks old. I heard mum say it was a baby massage course. #
22:01 Mum rubbed an oil that smelled like lavender all over me. Starting on my belly and then onto my arms, legs and back. #
22:02 I was more interested in looking around than on beeing rubbed with oil. At the end I was kinda tired and sleepy. #
22:03 I didn't learn to massage anyone, so I think the name is wrong. It was fun anyway. I liked looking at all the little babies. #
22:04 Then we went shopping for my next foods: pumpkin&rice and spinach&potatoe. Yummy! But first I need to finish up my week of parsnip! #
22:05 After we got home mum played with me on the couch. I was laying down on the quilt that Bonnie made for me. So pretty and nice to look at! #
22:06 When mum heard strange sounds coming from my belly she handed me over to dad... he found a big surprise on my diaper... hehehe... #
22:07 Then we played some more until I got tired. I fell asleep while drinking my milk in mum's arms. It was a good day. #

20:02 I got a real fright last night, I had been asleep for about 1 hour when they had fire works right next to our hotel. Bob also got scared. #
20:04 Had fun watching mum & dad have dinner & breaky. Can't wait until I can eat with them... Until then, I try to grab things off the table. #
20:06 I'd been eating carrot puré for a week, then mum surprised me with a new veggie... parsnip. I really like this one! #
20:07 Mum says she wishes she had started me on parsnips first, not carrots. All my clothes have orange stains. #
20:08 I wish she had given me parsnips earlier too... I think they are yummy! #
20:09 We also had lots of fun with Bonnie and Brian. They came to visit 2 weeks ago. Bonnie seemed to really enjoy holding me! #
20:10 Bonnie gave me something really nice. Mum calls it a kilt or is it quilt? Its got lots of colours and fun things to look at. #
20:11 The only other news is that I had my second immunisation injection last Tuesday. It hurt a little... #
20:11 I cried, but not as much as I cried the first time. #
20:12 Oh and I've discovered that its fun to chew on my toes. Dad thinks this is really funny. #
20:14 Mum & dad keep trying to take a photo of me chewing on my toes. When I see the camera I let go of my toes and smile. Its a fun game. hehehe. #
20:15 Yesterday I also got scared when the firestation sirens went off. People were being very loud in Austria! #
20:15 First the firestation sirens and later the fireworks. I wonder what was going on. #

20:58 At school they also tried to give me the clear liquid. Everyone must think I am not smart... I know what I like and its not H20. #
21:01 Mum & I read the baby eye like RED book. I tried to grab the things in the book, it didn't work. Mum calls it 2D. I don't like 2D. I cried. #
21:03 I carefully reached out with my hand and positioned it just right to hold the things in the book. #
21:04 Then I closed my fingers, I could feel the tips of my fingers brushing the thing I wanted to hold. But when my hand was closed it was empty! #
21:05 2D is not fun. Maybe these book things are not as good as I thought. They are pretty to look at but I can't grab and chew the things I see. #
21:07 Went to the petrol station again. It was not as busy as last time. Once again, everyone wanted to meet me. Its like they never seen a baby. #

22:42 I tried hard to take my socks off, but the ladies at school wouldn't let me. They dont know that I am much happier with my socks off... #
22:43 Mum took my socks before she drove me home, I was much happier. #
22:44 Today both mum and dad tried to give me a clear liquid they call water. I am not so happy with this fluid... its not sweet like milk. #
22:46 I've been drinking 3 kinds of milk for the past 12 days... mum's milk (my favourite), some hipp-pre-milk and some hipp-numer-1-milk. #
22:48 the hipp milk is a powder and the box says its bio. Its OK to drink when I am very hungry and Mum's milk runs out. #
22:52 Had my first bath in a bathtub today. Mum and I both got in. At first I was scared. Then I relaxed and enjoyed stretching out and floating. #
22:54 I also played with my duck while in the bath. I tried to eat it. Its not very tasty but I plan to chew on it again next time I see it! #
22:57 On the way home we spoke with Franca. Let me correct that, Mum and Franca spoke... I drolled and smiled. #
22:58 Franca says my teeth are coming soon. Everyone keeps talking about teeth and looking at me with pity. What are teeth? They sound scary. #
23:09 My new achievement for today (apart from chewing on my rubber ducky) is that I can turn onto my side when laying down. #

22:17 The drive back was long and I got a little grumpy towards the end. I was hot, tired and hungry when we got home. #
22:18 Now I am in bed. First mum gave me a bath and let me drink lots. I surprised her by rotating 90 degrees in bed while she was not looking. #

23:11 Mum was dressed in funny clothes (she said she was a gypsy)... We walked around a lot and saw lots of people dressed strangely. #
23:12 Mum and dad had some food but they never did find the nice smelling roast meat. They did enjoy the rosemary potatoes. #
23:13 Since then we've been surviving the life of a working mum and baby. #
23:14 I enjoy my days in the kindergarden. Mum always seems very happy to see me when she picks me up after work. #
23:14 The other day it was very hot in the car. Mum stopped at a petrol station to get petrol. She didnt want to leave me in the car. #
23:16 She took me in when she went to pay. I was sockless & hatless. Only wearing a t-shirt and linen pants. Thats naked by German baby standards. #
23:17 The sight of me being carried in stopped business at the petrol station. Everyone stopped and wanted to talk to me and smiled. #
23:18 I was happy to be in an aircondioned place and I smiled back at everyone. I do like the attention! #
23:19 Over the last few weeks I've very active. I play with my toys. I babble a lot more. I look around. Hold my head high. Kick like a kickboxer. #
23:20 When I cry in the car mum plays Gypsy Kings very loud. It has a double effect: she can't hear me scream and it calms me down in seconds. #
23:21 Now we are in Azay-le-Rideau in France. Mum says its the second time I've been here. The first time I was the size of a peanut. #
23:22 We are visiting mum's friend Hania. Hania is very nice, she likes to hold me and see me smile. She also showed me a book with red pictures. #
23:23 It seems there are lots more books to look at. Maybe I will like these book things... Thank you Hania!!! #
23:25 I've had lots of siestas snuggled in with mum. The sound of the birds and trees rustling made me sleepy. #
23:25 Before I forget this weekend I made my first laugh sounds. Mum seemed very happy, she laughed a lot when she heard me laughing. #
23:26 The black and white thing called Bob is very interesting. I like looking at him. Today I touched his nose, it was wet. #
23:28 Dad says Bob went crazy playing outside while mum was preparing me for bed. He jumped a 1.5m wall and landed on the road. Dogs are strange. #

12:22 There are lots off women wearing long skirts and other old gear... some dressed like baroque ladies. #
12:24 Mum & Dad keep smelling the air and saying they are hungry. It seems there is meat roasting out there. I guess I'll get a taste of it later. #

10:31 @simon_toon Congratulations! Don't be worried. Mum's brother (2nd born) was a very nice non rebellious child. #
10:45 @PainterNik @blackfonzie I bet I am your youngest listener... At 3.5 months I can't even crawl yet. #
10:47 Mum made me follow all these "podcasters" on Twitter... now I am sleepy. I am snoozing in my rocking chair. #
12:57 I've been fed and now I am snoozing again. Soom Mum and Dad are taking me to visit Leon, its the 1st of May and they plan to go walkabout... #

23:45 The ladies at school told mum I started holding things with 2 hands Tuesday. In the first week of April I started holding things with 1 hand #
23:45 I drink from a bottle really well now... I dont mind it at all when I am at school. #
23:46 Today mum dressed up funny, I wonder what that is all about. She wore a long skirt and funny shirt and lots of scarfs. #
23:48 Last Wednesday I was not myself at school and when I came home. I kept fussing and crying. #
23:49 So last Thursday mum stayed home with me. She figured out I hadnt pooped in 8 days. She called the doctor and took me in. #
23:50 The doctor checked me and said I was fine and growing very nicely. She pinched my baby fat gently. #
23:51 She did say I had lots of wind to come out and that was making me unconfortable... she tapped my tummy like a drum. #
23:52 The doctor gave me a prescription for 3 funny little tubes with a liquid on them. Mum used one on me... It was not so bad... #
23:53 Then suddenly I had all these big poops... I was very upset afterwards. Mum finally had to just get me ready for bed. #
23:54 We now have a going to sleep routine. The room is almost dark. Mum dresses me in my sleeping clothes. Then we come same good night to Dad. #
23:56 We go back to the bedroom and mum feeds me. It is nice and coozy drinking in the darkened bedroom snuggled in Mum's arms. #
23:58 When I am done eating Mum puts me in bed, kisses me good night, turns on the hairdrier sound. #
00:00 Sometimes I fall asleep immediatly. Sometimes it takes a little while and I need my dummy... but I do fall asleep all by myself. #
00:01 Maybe tomorrow I can tell you about Portugal. #
