Weeks 3 & 4
Second fortnight on Earth for Malena, and a busy one!
Monday the 3rd to Friday the 7th of June:
Daddy rides to work (alright it is only a 10 minutes ride but he does it even when it rains!) and has a pretty busy week at work and at home, helping mum a lot during the nights and with Malena quite unsettled in the evenings!
Mum becomes a member of the Australian Breastfeeding Association, with 24/7 helpline and lots of advice from mothers around; juggles between medical appointments, feeding and eating at the same time, trying to sleep in between.
Papi Jean-Pierre now takes care of the house, after the garden, with lots of cleaning and painting; Mamie Jojo takes very good care of everyone at home, especially
the "Little One" (Serbian meaning for Malena, Russian meaning for
Malinka...).
Malena has her professional identity pictures taken for her passport
(awful experience as babies should have eyes opened, looking at the
camera, mouth closed, no special expression, no hands of parents,... -
hard work!).
She keeps on receiving parcels with surprise gifts from New Zealand, North Bridge in Australia, England, France or Melbourne! Thank you again to all these generous friends and their family!
Saturday, first day at the beach (Coogee)!
Special note to Hannah: congrats&thanks on the hat you made, see how it fits Malena perfectly!
Always very cute with her mum...
Trying the pink dress given by her grand parents.
Sunday, introduction to the French Connection...
Magali is first,
then Kilou... (with Agnès only looking this time, as sick with a cold...)
then Candice and Gael!
Monday, thanks to our good friend the Queen of England, whose Birthday is celebrated randomly and falls today this year, Louise and Matt come back for another taste of Malena!
Tuesday the 10th to Friday the 13th of June:
Nothing major except that we had to say Good bye to Mamie Jojo and Papi Jean-Pierre!! That was a bit hard and Malena was very unsettled the following day, missing them already... They are now back home at Djerba, in Tunisia, where we hope to visit them sometime in the next year(s).

Beautiful photos and so pleased the hat fits! I couldn't have imagined a more perfect baby in it when I was making it. She looks like she is growing fast too. Love from us both! H & G XXX
