Karolina's seventh and eighth month

Hello all,

so I was finally able to catch up with real age of our daughter, yay :-) So, what happened during those two months? We spent great four days with our friends on vacation in Austria, in a small village  Podersdorf am See. It's located on the shores of Lake Neusiedler, close to the borders with Hungary. It was only two-hour car ride from Brno and yet you get very different landscape and experience. This area belongs to Burgenland state in Austria, which is known for great wine. We tasted some wines there and bought a few bottles for special occasions, so we can confirm the wive is really good :-) The area around the lake is perfect for biking and is also popular for bird watching. The lake itself is clean and it feels like you are at the sea. It's quite windy there, so sports like kiting and windsurfing are number one.

We had a very good time there and after that we spent quite a big part of summer at our parents. They enjoyed time with Karolina and we appreciated more pleasant environment with house and garden, much better than apartment in hot Brno.

In August, we attended an intensive week of swimming lessons. It was great and Karolina liked it so much. We learned how to operate with baby in the water and also how to prepare it for dip into the water. After this course we had a break and then two weeks ago we started to swim again regularly once a week. There was a photographer present at one of the lessons, so you can find nice photos of me and Karolina in the album below.

Last but not least, Karolina started to crawl last week. It's quite fun, her most favourite place to play is under the desk, where Josef works. So, we must be really cautious about her, especially when she is suspiciously quiet :-) There is a video of her crawling and also two videos from swimming lesson.

Well, that's about it. Today we had an eight month check at the doctor, so I can give you some numbers: weight 7 630 g (16.8 pounds), hight 68 cm (26.8 inches).

Have a great fall and see you in a month!
