Dear Soraya Mina,
Happy 8 month Birthday little Princess!
You are getting around the house with your superb army crawl. Still can't quite figure out the last step to this crawling on your hands and knees thing. It's really though. But in the eating department you're doing great! You've accepted Multigrain and Oatmeal cereal, Peaches, Sweet Potatoes and a little hesitantly at first, Plums. So we've got a real got repertoire at this point. Just a few days ago you successfully ate your first puffs!! (This happened on your 34 week birthday). A couple of weeks ago I tried giving you one, but it got stuck on your tongue and you started hacking like you had a hairball in your throat ;-) Now you pretty much demand them about 2 minutes after you finish your lunch. Awesome desert, you'll say! You've pretty much mastered picking them up and trying to stuff them into your mouth; kinda tricky since they stick to your fingers so easily.
On August 16th we packed our things, dropped Uki off at Camp Bow Wow and drove to the airport. Boy it was a big day! Baby on a plane! Pretty darn exciting! You were really interested in all the things going on at the airport, people everywhere and different noises and things to look at. We took a flight up to Portland to visit our friends. You must have been the only baby on the plane that wasn't crying! I swear! You complained for about 2 minutes until I got you all settled in on my lap and covered your head with a cloth and off you went to nappy town. Then you woke up in the middle of the flight and started smiling at people. You did really well with adjusting to our new schedule for a few days. Different nap and food hours, napping on the go instead of in your bed; you were a trooper! Never complaining, just super happy fun times!
Your new buddy Swift taught you all about sharing and non related to that, you figured out how to shake your head and you crack up when I say "no, no" and do it back. We went to the "beach" at the river, went hiking and just enjoyed being with friends and checking out a new town. Swift did a real good job at showing you how to crawl (she's proficient at walking already!) but you didn't really care so much; you did try to eat all of her books though;-)
A couple of days after we got back Grandpa and Zorka came to visit again and we had a good time with them as well. When I came home from work on the 21st, you and everyone there was full of pride and showed me your very first toothie!!!! You been working on the darn thing for weeks it seems; and when I had left that morning, there was still nothing; by the time I came home, there it was: a shiny, white corner of your first tooth!! Yay!!! What a cute addition to your already adorable smile!!
You love to play with water! Any kind of water! You even discovered Uki's water bowl all the way in the kitchen and every once in a while you make a go for it and scoot all the way in there, slam your little hands in his bowl, squeal and make a huge wet mess! You try to drink from it by licking your hands and sucking the edge of his bowl. Don't worry, I make sure it's clean water first and there are no floating kibbles in it ;-)
So between, army crawling, laughing, squeaking, water playing, Uki grabbing, going for anything with letters on it (tags are more fun than the toys they're attached to!) and going on vacation on an airplane - it has been quite an exciting month.
Just today the old lady at the jewelry store looked at you and said she could tell how beautiful you were; not just on the outside but that she knew you were a beautiful being!
We sure think so! Please stay like this.
We love you so much!!
Love,
Mommy and Daddy
Liebi Soraya,
Alles Gueti zum 8 monatige Geburtstag chlini Prinzessin!
Du flitzisch durs Huus dur mit dinere super Militaer-Chruech-Technik. Immer no nanig ganz so sicher wie das uf de Haend und Chnue soell gah. Isch echt schwierig. Aber im Essensbereich bisch mega guet! Du nimmsch jetzt Multichorn and Haferbrei, Pfirsich, "Sweet Potatoes" und bitz zoegerend zerst, Pflume. Du hesch also es guets Repertoire bis jetzt. Nume vor es paar tag hesch erfolgrich din erste "Puff" gesse!! (Das isch genau a dim 34 wuechige Geburi gsi). Vor zwei Wuche hani probiert dir eine z geh, aber er isch der uf de Zunge chlebe blibe und du hesch afange chueche und hueste wie es Buesi wo en Haarballe im Hals het ;-) Aber jetzt verlangsch "Puffs" zimmli oepe 2 min. nachdem fertig Zmittag gesse hesch. Mega coole Dessert, findsch du! Du hesch es voll im Griff die ufzneh und is Muule schoppe; was recht kompliziert isch da's ja immer a de Finger chlebet.
Am 16. August hemmer eusi Sache packt, de Uki im Camp Bow Wow abgeh und sind an Flughafe gfahre. Laeck was fuer en grosse Tag das gsi isch! Baby ime Flugi! Absolut ufregend! Du bisch extrem interessiert gsi a all dene Sache wo im Flughafe abgange sind, ueberall Luet und verschiednigi Gruesch und Sache zum aluege. Mir sind uf Portland ufegfloge zum Kollege go bsueche. Du bisch glaubs s einzige Baby im Flugi gsi wo nued bruelet het! Ehrlich! Du hesch knapp 2 min. gschumpfe, bis ich dich uf mine Bei richtig platziert gha han und din Chopf mit eme Tuech deckt han und den bisch ab is Land der Traeume. Denn bisch zmitzt im Flug ine ufgwache und hesch afange d Luet um di ume agrinse. Du hesch die echt guet a euse neu Ziitplan apasst fuer die paar Tag. Anderi Schlaf- und Essensziite, Mittagsschloefli unterwegs anstatt im Bettli; du hesch di tapfer ghalte! Nie protestiert, eifach "super happy fun times"!
Dis neue Gspaendli Swift het dir bibracht wie mer tuet teile und unabhaengig vo dem, hesch du erlickt din Chopf schuettle und du findsch es mega lustig wenn ich sege: "nei, nei, nei" und min Chopf au schuettle. Mir sind an "Strand" am Fluss gange, go wandere und hend eifach eusi Ziit gnosse mit eusne Kollege und de neue Stadt. D Swift het dir ganz toll zeiget wie mer tuet chrueche (Sie isch halt scho perfekt im Laufe!) aber dich het das nued gross interessiert; hesch defuer alli ihri Buechli welle esse ;-)
Es paar Tag nachdem mir zrugg cho sind, sind de Grosspapi und d Zorka uf Bsuech cho und mir hend au mit ihne e gueti Ziit gha. Wo ich am 21. vom Schaffe hei cho bin, sind du und alli andere voller Stolz gsi und du hesch mir dis erste Zaehndli zeiget!!! Du hesch scho sit Wuche a dem cheibe Zah umechrampfed und wo ich a dem Morge us em Huus bin isch no nued ume gsi, und denn wo ich wieder hei cho bin isch er da gsi: glaenzend, schneewiis de Egge vo dim erste Zah!! Jupi!! Was fuer e herzigi Ergaenzig zu dim sust scho suesse Laechle!!
Du liebsch es mit Wasser z spiele! Alli Art vo Wasser! Du hesch sogar am Uki sin Trinknapf entdeckt ganz am andere Endi vo de Chuchi, und du quietschisch und machsch ei Goetschete! Du probiersch sogar drus z trinke indem dass du dini Haend abschlecksch und am Rand umesugisch. Kei Angst, ich luege immer dass s Wasser suber isch und das kei Fueterstuckli drin umeschwuemed ;-)
Mit Militaerchrueche, lache, quietsche, mit Wasser spiele, de Uki schnappe, alles mit Buechstabe dra packe (d Zettli a de Spielsache sind interessanter als d Sache selber!) und i d Ferie gah mit em Flugi - isch es also en recht ufregende Monet gsi.
Erst grad gester het die alt Frau im Schmucklade gseit du segisch sehr schoen; nued nur uesserlich aber sie gsechi dass du e gueti Person segisch!
Mir findet das au! Bitte bliib so wie'd bisch.
Mir hend dich ganz, ganz fescht gern!!
S Mami und de Papi
