Growing up with Anne Sophie


Papa (me) has been very busy lately with his work and his little daughter, that's why he hasn't posted anything for a few weeks. But despite lack of time, I'd like to write briefly about our progress and show some pictures of Anne Sophie!

What can I say? Anne Sophie is a sweet, good hearted little girl. She needs and gets a lot of love and care from mama, papa and grandma. But I can also say that she takes care of them too. You might ask: How is that possible?
Well, she does that by sleeping well through the night, thereby giving mama and papa the much needed rest. She would usually wake up once or twice a night to drink some milk and would then fall asleep again. Even when she wakes up when she is not hungry, she would usually stay relatively quiet. She likes the fact that she can sleep very close to her parents and hear and feel their presence. But what can be a better bed than papa or mama themselves?

She also likes taking long walks together with papa in a special sling. Sometimes during these walks they find mushrooms, and sometimes very big ones!

She often enjoys talking in her own baby language. Sometimes I think that she thinks to herself: "These adults are not developed enough to understand what I am saying. But never mind, they'll learn to understand as they grow up."

A few days ago
Anne Sophie went to a reunion with the kids that she met while still in her mother's womb (the mothers were then following a pregnancy yoga class). It was a lot of fun to see them all with her own eyes! Can you figure out which one is our Annushka on this photo?

Let's pray that she "may be trained, grow and develop, and appear in the utmost beauty."
