Mausi goes to Daycare!

Wed, 15 Feb 2006 10:35:21 -0500

Time just flies by - 9 months after starting her life journey, Aur�lia already leaves her parents for one hour at the time to go to Daycare! Her Mom had tears in her eyes when she dropped her at "Maryse's" in Dorval. Mausi did a bit of a face at first but adapted quickly to her new playground outside of home. She didn't seem to be bothered by the company of the other 8 kids and quickly shifted her attention to the numerous new toys. After one hour had passed, Mommy returned to pick her up and guess what - our girl almost didn't want to leave anymore :-)

Our girl is teething!

Aur�lia not only grabs food on her own now - she can now actually crush it too! One lonely tooth seems to have made it trough her lower gum and is being accompanied by red cheeks and fussiness.

Aur�lia's first time in Germany

Tue, 03 Jan 2006 17:14:00 -0500

After recovering from the long trip and getting used to a time difference of 6 hours, Aur�lia seemed to enjoy the company of Opa Klaus and Oma Ingrid. She loved her German car seat, it finally allowed her to sit facing forward so she could see all the action outside while being driven arround by Opa Klaus. There was a lot of snowing going on in Deutschland and the cold felt a bit different too - but Mausi was well prepared with hat and mittens.

One day, Onkel Joerg picked up everyone and Aur�lia even got on a trip to a public spa in Dresden!Besides that, Mausi visited the recently completed Frauenkirche, the Bugacenter, different coffee-places, Real, the Altmarkt-Gallery, a Chinese restaurant with a lot of smoking Germans in there and Papa's Grossmutter in a resident's home. There were 4 generations of Dimters/Richters! Pretty amazing!!!

After 7 great days in Freital, it was time to fly back home - but not before Daddy had installed a computer for Oma and Opa. Now they can see Mausi whenever they want on the webcam!

Before crossing the ocean back to Cananda, Mausi met Mami's best friend from Air France, Annie and her husband Bjoern at Frankfurt Airport! They have a little girl of their own and Mausi cant' wait to play with the little Estelle one day!

Mausi on Tour

Tue, 03 Jan 2006 16:30:00 -0500

After spending her "entire life" in Canada and Florida, we decided it was time for Mausi to crank it up a notch - Germany was the next target!

With her parents serving as travel companions, food suppliers and stroller-carriers, Aur�lia borded the plain from Montreal to Frankfurt on the 25 of December at 6.15 pm. The same night, she got acquainted with her first Russian - drunk Russian, that is. He happened to delay the take-off due to his blood level of Vodka and the sudden urge of having to go to the bathroom right during the take-off. That granted him a spot outside the plane with the effect of a 2-hour-delay for everyone.

Despite the hold-up, Mausi and parents made it safe and sound to Frankfurt with a connecting flight to Dresden where everybody was picked up by Grossmutter und Grossvater in a brandnew "Peugeot Partner" with a brandnew car seat for Aur�lia! This was the first time that her Grandparents in Germany got to see their Granddaughter!

The kid talks! we got a bit scared of Mausi falling behind schedule - according to some articles on baby-development, she should be talking by now. And guess what - there it is! Slowly but surly, from the "Uiii" to the "Blablabla". A small step for the rest of the world but definately a big one for us! Welcome to the world of cellphones, chatrooms and tape recorders. And to French, German, English and all the other confusing languages ;-)

And by the way: Mausi likes to show off her new "Get-up, Stand-up" skills to Daddy!

finally on vacation - it's about time!

Sat, 15 Oct 2005 20:50:00 -0400

After 4 months of stressful life as a baby, Aur�lia got a break from that whole thing and went to Florida! Being there for the second time already, relaxing all day long didn't seem so hard after all...
One magnificent event should be pointed out though: Mausi had her first cereal and therefore, her first meal!!! She wasn't too sure about it at first, but after adding some milk to the mix - she couldn't get enough anymore!
Also, she went to Disneyworld, saw the Manitees and got her first Mickey Mouse!
