The Return, although only for a day or so

Hello!

I have come back from Montenegro with my baby and 50% of my luggage. The other 50% is enjoying an extended holiday in Vienna.

Age at which Matei learns to pull himself up to stand holding on to bars of his cot – 7.5 months.

Age at which Matei manages to vault himself over the side of his cot and flings himself headfirst towards earth – 1 week after that.

It is difficult for me to believe looking at him that my genes had any part in his creation. Each day I am becoming more and more convinced that it would have been far more just for him simply to have emerged fully formed from his father’s head, like Athena.

So, although Z’s genes have solidly thrashed mine in this battle I hope that mine will WIN THE WAR, because if I have another child this active I will hand in my resignation and go off to the Bahamas.

    I have kept meaning to say, thank you very much for your interesting comment about multi-linguality that I never answered! I read it in a hurry and never answered you, but it was v interesting and I did appreciate it.

    I can’t believe Matei is 8 months already. Heavens!

    I hope your luggage sends you a nice postcard.

    My #1 son managed to launch himself out of the cot in the same way. We woke in the night to screaming. He must have climbed up like a ninja, he was too small to bounce out or get his leg up.
