LASIK

Laser In Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) - laser surgical technique, very effective in treatening varying degrees of short-sightedness, longs-sightedness and astigmatism. It combins the corneal flap surgical technique with the shaping of the corneal tissue by excimer laser.

I have myopia, and if everything goes well from tomorrow it will be over. No more scratched glasses, no more dry eyes with the contacts...

I am not scared, but i am a bit concerned about the fact of having my eyes so "exposed".

From tomorrow, will i see the world with different eyes? :)

12 Months

Lucia you are 12 months now, almost 13. You’ve become a funny little girl, always granting us with this big smile of yours. You started walking some days before you turned one. Suddenly you decided you wanted to, so you stood up and gave your first steps without requiring any help at all. It was amazing. You knew you could, and so you did, on your own. You were so happy when we all cheered at you!

And now, no one can stop you. The fence we bought is useless now, you need to be able to wander all aver the house. I’m still a bit concerned about the stairs. You climb up easily, but for going down you always call for help, that’s good!

Still just two teeth, but I think the upper ones are on there way. The doctor told us to start using the toothbrush. You find that quite amusing, and so do I. We hear lots of “mama”, “dededede”, sometimes “papa” and some other stuff of your own. It’s really funny to see you speaking and singing. No clue what you say, but I wish I’d understood. Sometimes it looks as if you said “veux”, “I want” in French, but really, who knows…

You are 9.4 kilos and 71.5cm. Your appetite is still the same, voracious. You like almost everything. You go nuts with cheese and bread; and it seems you enjoy the “jamon pata negra” very much (but doctor says we should about pork meat until you’re older) Well, a bit wont do you wrong, right?

We still go to the pool once a week and we are now searching for a nursery; is time for you to start playing with other children. It will be more fun than with adults, believe me.

People are asking us when we’ll go for number 2. Jezzz! Don’t know if we are ready? Are you, for a little sis or bro?

Snow time!

Yesterday it was St Joseph’s day. In Spain this day is celebrated as the Father’s day. Here in the Czech Republic there’s not such thing. There’s a Mother’s day, but like everywhere else, just an excuse for the flower or perfume stores to make a big sell. In the communist era, it was a bank holiday and people got really drunk to celebrate, ahhh the Czechs!!!

I mean, I don’t mind the flowers... but any day of the year is a good occasion too. For me, everyday should be a mothers’ & father’s day.

It’s snowing in Prague. It started yesterday and I think I will go on for the rest of the weekend. Spring time where are you??? Seems like we’ll have to wait a bit more for the sunny and warm days.

Happy Birthday Lucia!!!

I can’t believe a year is over. At this time last year I wasn’t sure if you were ready to come or not. But you did, and here you are now. A beautiful baby girl that started walking a couple of days ago.

Os Saturday we arrived to Paris. The sun was shinning and the temperature was really nice. We were having lunch, when suddenly you decided to walk on your own, just like that. It’s always pleasant to see you learning and trying new things on your own.

On Sunday we went to Louvre, and you preferred the sculptures. Of course you wanted to stick your finger in all of them… I do think that’s the best way to feel and understand art. But unfortunately museums have plenty of boring rules.

Today as the sun came out for you again, we’ll go the neighborhood where mom and dad used to live - 15eme arrondisement – you will be able to play in Champs de Mars and enjoy the view of the mythic Eiffel tower.

Happy birthday our angel!!!

Dad & Mom t’aime fort fort fort.
