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 back home to Serbia and we have been there until few weeks ago. 




Look at this smile!
Now, when I see all the photos at once, I can't believe how much she has changed and grew. 



This last picture was taken in Tunisia, one day after we got here. 
I'm sad and happy at the same time that she is growing. These 11 months has been the hardest and the prettiest in my life so far. No wonder people say being a mom is the hardest job. But, I wouldn't change a thing. Watching her smile, and seeing how much she loves Darko and me, all I can think of is "Life is good". 
P.S. Two days ago, she took her first steps.

Have a nice week y'all! 
Jelena

Adaptation to preschool

    This post is a little bit different than the others, but I felt the need to write it. I would love to hear thoughts, experiences and opinions on this topic. Nina started preschool about a month and half ago, but she only went for three full weeks. There were Christmas holidays, then Serbian Christmas, so she missed few weeks.    Adaptation is not going so well. And, we are on the edge of quiting. She cries every single morning when she wakes up. Last couple of days she cried the entire time she was in the preschool. The big difficulty is that she is going to Czech preschool, and she is not speaking Czech language. She doesn't understand teachers or kids.    She is really young, so she will learn  the language  fast. And, Czech has some similarity to Serbian language. But, what if she really struggles during her time over there. The more I read on this subject, the more I am confused. :)   The one thing, that I read the most, is t...

Choose to be happy

 Recently, my mom passed away. It happened all too fast, we are still recovering from it. We weren't ready for it. I know people say you are never ready for someone to leave, but we weren't ready at all. When you lose mom, you feel like an orphan. It doesn't matter how old you are, mom is someone who is suppose to be there always. And, my mom was always there. She was always at our apartment. Waiting for us. It doesn't matter where we would go, and how long we would stay, she would be there. She was the happiest when we were at home. She had a great sense of humor. She would make jokes, and she had this contagious laugh. You had to smile, even if you didn't want to. And, I never told her that I love her. I hope she knew that.  After she passed away, I felt huge guilt because I wasn't the best daughter (or I think so).  We would get into the arguments almost about everything. I wasn't very patient with her, and I didn't take her illness into the consid...
