No kissing, pleaseee...

Hi there! This is something I really wanted to write about since the second day we got here.  I know every country has its own ways of greeting people, and I'm ok with that. Culture is something special that makes every country unique. In Serbia, we kiss three times on cheeks (each time different cheek) when we say hello or bye to someone we know. In Tunisia, they kiss two times the same way. So, I'm used to kissing like that.  What I'm not used to, and not ok with, is how they greet small babies. They kiss them on the cheeks too! Even strangers do that. When Tunisians see a baby, their first reaction is: "Oh, hi baby. You are very cute! Let me kiss you!" ( I don't understand Arabic, but my guess is they are saying something like this.) You would see most random people approach babies like this.  It's ok to kiss the baby on the hand, shoulder, or perhaps the head, but not on the cheeks.  I know they don't mean anything bad, since they are

Meet baby Nina

I do have a few other posts I want to write about, but first I want you to meet baby Nina. She is 11 months old now. She is super demanding baby, bad sleeper at night (wakes up every 2-3 hours), very active during the day, but very beautiful and smart baby. She is going to be one on the 30th of this month. I can't believe how fast time goes by. It's crazy. I've been taking photos of her every month so I could keep track on her growing. I'm going to let you see and enjoy them. :) Happy baby!  She was born as a quite big baby, 9.4 lb and 22 inches. I had a natural birth, and it went really smooth. For the first 3 months we were in Serbia (first 3 photos  were taken there), after that we moved to Hungary (next 3 photos are from there).  We were little worried how she is going to  react to a change, but she did great. She really enjoyed our time in Hungary. She went to her first basketball game there. :)  After the basketball season we went b

Hello again!

Hi everybody! It's been too long since my last post and so much happened since then. My last post was while I was pregnant, and for some reason I didn't feel like writing after that. I don't know really why. I knew I wanted to continue writing, but at the right time. I think that time is now. :) For you, who don't know, we got a beautiful baby girl Nina who is almost one. It's crazy how fast time goes by. I am not going to write a lot for my first post. It kind of feels weird writing again after so much time being off. We are currently in Tunisia. After Japan (where we were for my last posts), we moved to Hungary for some time and back to Serbia. So, hello again! :) I will try to write as often as I can, and be regular in here.
