Maxim in the water

Maxim in the water

Thanks to his grandmother, Maxim was going to the beach every single day during the last two weeks. Today I went together with them to see how the whole thing is happening. The idea was to inherit the experience, so that I could do this with Maxim on my own.

If I knew how cold the water is, I’d be against these sea bathing from the very beginning, but I seem to have missed the best time and now the kid has pretty much got used to it. I went into the water and it felt like a slow execution. I don’t know how come that this water measures +26 degrees because it’s freezing. And I was not alone who thought this way as only a selected few people from a rather crowded beach felt like sweeming.

Visited Jumbo

We went to Jumbo kids’ superstore today. The primary goal of our quest was a high chair for Maxim. We estimated that we’ll spend about 50 CYP on it. Few miscelanious items, such as plates and spoons were our secondary goal. Two hours after we entered the shop, we left without a high chair and without 70 CYP…

As usual, we bought everything and anything except for what we really needed. And with most of the items priced between .50 CYP and 3 CYP it’s really easy to fill the shopping cart with all sorts of junk.

I might sound sad and greedy, but I am not. Usually I forget about all the prices with the first smile on that little face. But he slept through most of the shopping and still is. I’m sure that when he will wake up and smile, I will forget everything once again.

Solid food

Yesterday, when I wrote about Maxim’s first food I of course meant his first solid food. It’s just that I didn’t know that solid food is called solid food in English. The direct translation from Russian is “solid” indeed, but when I was writing the post, I wasn’t sure that I could the word “solid” to describe food. And I was too lazy to check in the dictionary. Today, when I was replying to a comment for that post, I noticed the Google Adsense banner which was promoting some “solid food” website. I checked the site, double checked in the dictionary, and it was indeed – “solid” food.

Either I am being too smart or too stupid. I don’t know.

P.S.: Maxim seems to really enjoy his new diet.

First food

First food

We didn’t go to the Jumbo today, but it didn’t stop us from feeding Maxim. He seemed to like it although he was very confused about all the fuzz. And the spoon thingy… He was trying to suck the food off it, like it was a bottle or something. The whole thing seemed like fun and only fun, until we realized that Maxim was actually eating the food. He had at most three spoons, but he ate a lot less breast milk afterwords. I just hope that he will digest it nicely, otherwise he might not eat it again. Whatever. So far so good.
