Category: Personal

Despite being at work all the time, and being constantly busy, I am still a human. I am social. I have a life, family, and friends. I have thoughts and experiences. Once in a while I share them, and when I do, I do so in this category. If you don’t know me personally, chances are you’ll find posts in this category particularly boring.

I did number 3. I did number 3. I did number 3. Is that 3 already?

I used to hate cross-postings, but now I’m doing it myself. The reasons are obvious though – I am trying to build a moment for my podcast. Show #3, ladies and gentlemen. Start your podcatchers.

P.S.: I promise, I’ll stop one day.

Routine pediatrician check-up

We took Maxim for his routine pediatrician check-up today. Everything was smooth and nice. He has gained almost half a kilo in the last month (now: 10.4 kg) and has grown almost 2 cm (now: 78 cm). He got his next vaccination too. Yet another one will be given to him on the next visit, in about a month’s time. I hope they help…

From the baby to a US Marines’ boy

After the first haircut

Maxim has got his first haircut today. Don’t worry, that wasn’t either from me or Olga. We got some professional help.

Maxim was puzzled at the beginning, but that he got bored and turned somewhat grumpy. No major crying though.

When we brought him back home, we realized that there was a bigger change in him, not just a haircut. He didn’t look like a baby anymore. Instead, he was a boy. The style of the haircut suggested some relation to the US Marine Corps. Quite a change I should say.

Anyway, it will grow back and we won’t be cutting it anytime soon. Let him have the hippy fun.
