This month was finally the brakethrough in our nights. Now Tristan demands feeding only two times during the night (instead of 5-6 times as before). Continue reading “Our ninth month with Tristan”
Greek yoghurt dessert with berries
Summer is slowly waving somewhere in the yonder, but many sorts of berries are already available. Mainly not yet domestic catch, but worth buying though. Here is one summerly sweet receipt: greek yoghurt dessert with berries.
Our eighth month with Tristan
These days it feels like Tristan is developing every day. It is said that during this age babies personality will start developing, starting from finding his favourite toys and ending with getting more independant to explore the world.

Ovenbaked zucchini
Men are usually not that fond of zucchini – this is one of the few versions how my partner likes it.

Historical Portugal
When planning a trip, I usually make a wide list of places I want to go and see. Then I mark these destinations on a map and eliminate excessive places, so that we will be left a convenient route to drive during our stay there. Our Portugese roundtrip turned out like this:
Our seventh month with Tristan
During his seventh month, Tristan gained so many new skills:
*he is talking by using more vocals than before;
*he started coming on his fours, hands and feet, like in yoga cat-cow position and crawling;
*he made his way from belly-time to sitting position without any help from us.
Here’s a short video of some moments:
Photoshoot with Tristan
We went to Black & White photo studio with a bunch of Moms a few weeks ago. They rent a playroom and as an extra service they offer taking photos as well. There are two quite spacious open playrooms and for photoshoot there’s a separate room with various items, such as toys, different baby carriages, baby shoes etc, that can be used.

Many said that they are kind of disappointed, but I think I’m rather pleased with the result. Here are some shots of me and Tristan:
Our sixth month with Tristan
Oh boy, sleeping 3 hours in a row is a dream… 😴 I have had that opportunity two times since the beginning of November 🤦♀️ Not speaking about sleeping through the night as the last time was perhaps in the end of June… Lately we have had nights where Tristan hasn’t sleep even 1 hour in a row. Don’t know whether his teeth might be hurting his gums. 🤷♀️
How to steam vegetables without a food steamer
We know that vegetables lose vitamins when boiled. I wanted to make a sweet potato puree without boiling the food, BUT we do not have a food steamer in our household. Using a tip from other Moms and a lovely friend of mine, I managed to steam the food by using existing tools as can be seen here:
Just add a little water in a bottom of a cooking pot and steam veges in stainless strainer above the hot water in a low heat. Do not forget to use a pot cover!
Our fifth month with Tristan
