I call him my little water rat, which my husband said doesn’t sound all that nice in English but in German it’s an endearing term for kids that love the water.

What do you do with your baby while it’s not really old enough to play on a playground?

In my family our boy is the only baby and none of my close friends have any either. So far he just played with us but I was thinking it would be good for him to meet other kids his age.

I just haven’t found the right playgroup for him and I am not going to send him to nursery until he is 3 or 4.

How do you deal with this?

Easier said than done with a baby as the picture needs to be according to the biometrical standards. What a joke! It took us the whole two month until we managed to get a picture that would fit. We tried two photographers with little success and shot hundreds of pictures ourselves.

What baby under half a year will look straight into the camera without pulling faces or crying or moving their head? Not ours it turned out.

One of the photographers told is that they recommend to make a passport picture when the babies are a bit older. Very funny I thought, what kind of recommendation is that. I am sure lots of people will either want or need to go abroad with their babies before then.

Did you have to get a passport for your baby yet? Was it the same struggle for you as it was for us?

I let him have a bath a few times a day and wash his feet with cool water every now and then but he is really poor.

What do you do to cool your baby down in summer? Do you have any other tips for us?

We flew to the UK to visit family and friends when our boy was 2 month. I was a bit worried at first how he would handle it but he loved it, especially when we got into a few minor turbulences. We have also just come back from our summer holiday and again he was more than fine with flying. We did make sure that he had a bottle of milk or tea while take-off and landing but that’s it.
