Seven Weeks

This week we lengthened the time between feeds to 3 hours and it has been working very well. Tim sleeps much better during the day now. And two nights ago was the record for the longest sleep at night - 6.5 hours. The dummy really helps as well. It helps him to calm down when he's having tummy troubles or generally being grumpy and also in the pram. Before Timmy would get upset in the fairly often when we were out and he wasn't sleeping, but now he's a lot calmer and actually looks around more and enjoys the walks.

His eyelashes really grew this week. When he was born you could only see one or two tiny little ones and you couldn't really see them when he'd close his eyes. But now they're fairly long, and collect cat hair, just like the rest of us :)

On Thursday we went to our favourite place in Berlin - Chagall. It was warm and sunny for a change (now it's all back down to 17 degrees, cloudy and windy, so we're again losing any hope of a good warm and sunny summer). While there Jack and I tried to find an answer to a question "If we could bring any place from Melbourne to Berlin - which would it be?" and we both agreed that the Lambsgo bar is pretty good. Chagall is definitely something we would take with us back to Melbourne. The photos are red because we were sitting under red umbrellas.

A random snap of a building in Prenzlauerberg on Kastanienallee.

Today Tim also managed to grab one of the wooden rings that hang off his toy. He has been able to push them for a while, but today the grabbing happened. I think it was more of an accident, but that doesn't matter - we were all very excited and Timmy was smiling a lot - being very pleased with himself. Here are some snaps of the facial expressions at play.

And here's some evidence of him taking the bottle.

Finally - my favourite photo of this week :)
