Moj prvy vylet mimo Boston. My first overnight trip outside of Boston.





Dnes som sa vybral s rodicmi, Achchi and Seeya na moj prvy velky vylet mimo Boston. Destinacia: Conway, NH. Podla rodicov nas mali cakat krasne zaferbene stromy, typicke len pre jesen v New England (a zevraj este v Japonsku). Skoro celu cestu som prespal, myslim, ze mama bola na mna hrda.

Today I am off to the first overnight trip with my parents, Achchi and Seeya outside of Boston. Destination: Conway, NH. According to my parents we should be seeing the best foliage only typical for New England (and also for Japan). I slept almost the whole way so I think mama was proud of me.



Pocasie nam zatial moc nevychadza. Dnes (utorok) zatial prsi. Tak sa aspon fotime vnutri nasej chaty, ktora je mimochodom super. Vsade naokolo su jelene, medvede, srnky, dokonca aj los! Rodicia tvrdia, ze su sice iba vypchate, ale na mna posobia dost zivo, tak neviem.


Weather is not really playing in our favor. So far it rains (Tuesday). At least we are taking pictures inside of the cabin, which is by the way awesome. There are deer, bears even a moose all around the cabin! My parents say they are only stuffed animals but to me they look pretty real.







Ani popoludni sa pocasie nezlepsilo a tak sme sa rozhodli, ze pojdeme na kratku exkurziu miestnym vlacikom tahanym parnou lokomotivou.Jeeej,moja prva jazda vlakom!


It is Tuesday afternoon and it is still raining so we decided to go on an excursion by local train using steam locomotive. Yupiiii, my first train ride!

A naspat na chate.


And back at the cabin.



Je streda rano a my sa konecne chystame stravit nejaky cas vonku (prestalo na chvilu prsat) a hlavne sa konecne pokochat tymi jesennymi farbami stromov, ktore mi nasi stale slubuju.


It's Wednesday morning and we are finally ready to spend some time outside (it stopped raining for a while) and mainly to see that beautiful foliage my parents keep promising to see.



Ja som pripraveny!


I am ready!



S Achchi a Seeya.


With Achchi and Seeya.

Tak uz podme!


Let's go now!

Aaaa, tak toto je ta jesen, o ktorej mi rodicia hovorili. Celkom pekne...


Aaah, so this is that foliage my parents were talking about. Pretty nice...





Neviem ci ma je dobre vidno, lebo mama ma zabalila ako keby mrzlo (teplo nebolo, to musim priznat), ale toto je moja prva prechadzka v prirode.


I am not sure if you can see me properly because mama budled me as if it was freezing (well, it wasn't that warm I have to admit), but this is my first walk in nature.



Den 96. (2. oktobra 2011) 
 



Volam Slovensko!

Today we took an advantage of beautiful summer weather and went for a long walk to the park by the river in Boston. Later that day we also went for a stroll to Public Garden.

Mama ma dnes takto nosila ked som isiel prvy krat do muzea. Velmi ma zaujal Jackson Pollock, tie cierne skvrny boli super.

Pocasie nam dnes prialo a tak sme sa vybrali na vylet do Newburyportu. Cerstvy morsky vzduch mi prospel aj ked sa tak mozno netvarim.

Weather was playing into our favor and so we could go for a trip to Newburyport. Fresh ocean air was good for me although I might look that way.

Konecne rodicia zistili aka teplota vody je pre mna idealna, necudo, ze som predtym stale pri kupani plakal.

Den 37. (4. august 2011) 

Moje babatkovske akne znepokojuju mojich rodicov, ja sa na tom len smejem.

My baby acne seems to bother my parents but I just keep laughing at it.

Den 36. (3. august 2011) 

V poslednych dnoch ma celkom zaujal kolotoc nad mojou postielkou. 

In last few days I started to be interested in the mobile above my bed.

Den 33. (31. jul 2011) 

Dalsi zaujimavy den. Boli sme mimo Bostonu v muzeu Decordova. Paci sa mi v prirode, hlavne ked mozem volne vylihovat na deke.

Another interesting day. We went out of Boston to the Decordova Museum. I like to be in the nature especially when I can just lay freely on the blanket.

Den 32. (30. jul 2011) 

Dnes sme boli na prechadzke v Bostone. Bolo super len keby ma nevytahovali z toho kocika ked mi fukal vietor do oci.

Lately my parents are forcing me to exercise on my tummy much more often.

Den 29. (26. jul 2011) 

Mamina sa ma snazi uspat...a ja kontrolujem, ci ma ma este stale na rukach, alebo ci ma uz chce dat do postielky, lebo niekedy na mna skusaju take triky.

Mom is trying to put me to sleep...and I am checking if I am still in her arms or  if she has already put me to my crib, because sometimes they try these tricks on me.

Den 28. (25. jul 2011) 

Pomaly budem potrebovat novy dudel, tento je uz taky vyzuty.

Soon I will need a new pacifier, this one is getting sucked out.

I am hungry, can't you see? I am eating my own hand!

Den 20. (17. jul 2011) 

Nechajte ma spat!


Let me sleep!

Den 19. (16. jul 2011) 

Ti moji rodicia vobec nerozumeju mojej reci...ved je to jednoduche, ked placem bud som hladny, pocikany/pokakany alebo sa mi chce spat. Tak co je na tom take zlozite?

My parents don't understand my language at all...it's so easy, when I cry it can only mean that I am hungry, that I peed/pooped or that I just want to sleep. Is that so difficult?

Den 18. (15. jul 2011) 

V poslednych dnoch sa mi najlepsie zaspava na tatovej hrudi.

In last few days I like to fall asleep on thaththi's chest.

Den 16. (13. jul 2011) 

Tuto polohu mam rad...vzdy sa pri nej tak peeeekne uvolnim :)

I like this position...I can always niiicely relax like this.

Den 15. (12. jul 2011) 

Poobednajsia siesta...sice s otvorenymi ocami, ale vsak nemozu odo mna chciet, aby som stale spal!

Afternoon siesta...even though with wide open eyes but they can't expect me to sleep all day!

Den 14. (11. jul 2011) 

Cas menenia plienok teda urcite nie je moj najoblubenejsi. A to o co sa snazia tou zelenou ciapockou na mojom pipiku?

Time of diaper changing is definitely not my favorite. And what are they trying with that green cap on my pee pee?

Den 13. (10. jul 2011) 

Vcera som dal rodicom poriadne zabrat. Tak to aspon vnimali oni, ja som sa len snazil o trosku pozornosti. To som chcel tak vela? No nic, dnes sa budem snazit byt tichsie.

Yesterday I gave my parents a hard time. At least that is how they viewed it, I was just trying to get some attention. Is that so much to ask? Oh well, I will try to be more quite today.

Den 11. (8. jul 2011) 

Zacinam mat rad piatky ked mozem stravit poobedie s tatinom.

I am starting to like Friday evenings when I can hang out with thaththi.

Den 10. (7. jul 2011) 

Nieeeee ... zase "tummy time"... to nevidia kolko energie musim vynalozit ci i len na otocenie hlavy? 

Nooooo ... "tummy time" again ... they don't see how much energy do I have to spend just to turn my head?

Den 9. (6. jul 2011) 

Pohodaaaaaa ...

Chiliiiiiing ...

Den 8. (5. jul 2011) 

Prave sme sa vratili z prvej prechadzky a ja si teraz uzivam chvilku s babkou.

Just came back from my first stroll outside and now enjoying time with my grandma.

Den 7. (4. jul 2011) 

No konecne! Uz som sa vazne zacal obavat, ze sa na tomto svete nikdy nenajem.

Finally! I started to worry I will never eat in this world.

 


Den 6. (3. jul 2011)

Jeej, moje prve umyvanie!

Yupiii, my first wash!

Den 4. (1. jul 2011)

Dnes idem konecne domov z nemocnice, uz ma to tu moc nebavilo a ak mam pravdu povedat, neviem sa dockat ako to u nas doma vyzera.

I am finally going home from the hospital today, I was kind of bored here and to be honest, I am looking forward to see my new home.

 

Den 3. (30. jun 2011)

Po dvoch dnoch ako takeho jedla ma mama dnes nechala hladovat. Nechapem, co to na mna skusaju. Tam v brusku som nebol nikdy hladny. Nech sa teda necuduju, ze ich kazdu chvilku budim. 

After two days of so-so food mom left me with no food today. I don't understand what are they trying to achieve here. I was never this hungry in mom's belly. Don't be surprised I am waking them up every minute.

Den 2. (29. jun 2011)

Aaaaah, to som sa dobre vyspal!

Aaaah, that was a nice nap!

 

Den 1. (28. jun 2011)

Je 28. juna 2011, minutu pred siestou hodinou rano bostonskeho casu, a ja som prave po umornej noci prisiel na svet.  

Musim sa priznat, nebolo to lahke. Pri kazdej maminej kontrakcii sa mi znizoval tlkot srdca, mam podozrenie, ze som si tlacil na pupocnu snuru, ale neviem to potvrdit. Viete, v tom maminom bruchu bola celkom tma a ku koncu aj malo miesto. Nakoniec ma ale dostali von cisarskym rezom a tu ma teda mate.

It's June 28th 2011, one minute before six o'clock in the morning Boston time and after a long and exhausting night I came into this world.

I  have to admit, it was not easy. With mom's every contraction my heart beat was getting low, I am suspicious I was pushing on the umbilical cord but can't confirm it. You know, inside there it was pretty dark and towards the end also pretty tight. After all they got me out with c-section and so here I am.
