Even more presents!

I got even more christmas presents today, from my aunts Sarah and Suzanne and from "opa" and "oma"! I got a puzzle, a tower, a box, and a ball with snow inside! I am looking forward to playing with them!

I met my great grandmother!

My aunts Suzanne and Sarah, mom and dad and me went to visit my great grandmother in Barger Compascuum to wish her a happy newyear. She was very happy to see me! My dads aunts Sinie and Loes also came, and I got my very own lucky suitcase.

I got my 3rd tooth!

I had been crying a lot during the night lately, but my parents did not know what was wrong. This morning my parents suddenly discovered my new tooth!

My dad showed me off to his friends.

Today, we visited my dads friends in Enschede, Arjan & Deb and Lars & Dorien. Since I knew my dad wanted to make a good impression, I was on my best behavour the whole evening! It was nice meeting them all.

My first visit to the Netherlands

On Saturday the 27th we left for the Netherlands to visit my family there. The flight went well. I only cried a few minutes and then I fell asleep! Finally I could visit "Oma", "Opa", aunt Suzanne and aunt Sarah! "Oma" had found toys that dad used to play with when he was my age. I was very happy to play with them in the same playpen that my dad had used. Aunt Suzanne and Sarah also played with me and "Oma" and "Opa" sang Dutch songs and read books for me. "Oma" and "Opa" had also made a nice new mattress in a small bed for me, but unfortunately I refused to sleep there.  I just wanted to lie next to mom and dad, and I was driving my mom and dad crazy since their bed was only 1,20 m. Every night I was awake at least 3 times... Well, I was very happy during daytime. I tried different vegetables that "Oma" and "Opa" boiled for me. On New Year's Eve we had a nice day! We visited the sheep. I actually saved one of them. She was lying on her back when we came, and would probably have died if I had not insisted on seeing the sheep. The fireworks were very loud, but I slept through all of them! The flight home went very well. My parents sang for me and I was smiling and playing the whole flight!!!!

I celebrated Christmas at Ålgård

We went to stay at "mormor" and "morfar" 's house at Ålgård. My parents had brought luggage for two weeks and lots of presents. I enjoyed celebrating Christmas Eve together with "mormor", "morfar", mom, dad, uncle Asgeir, aunt Siri, Marta, Gudrun, aunt Eli, uncle Lars and Emma. We were so lucky to finally meet father Christmas!!! I got many nice gifts and I was happy to play with Marta, Gudrun and Emma. My parents and I slept 4 nights at Ålgård, but I cried every night, so I didn’t really sleep much. I was obstibated, and I had pain in my ear. Anyway, we had a nice time at Ålgård!

I got a Babybjörn!

Since we are traveling to the Netherlands soon, and there is no room to bring the stroller, my parents and me went out to buy a Babybjörn® today. I have been in a babywrap before, but this is much more fun, since I can look around at what is happening. I love it!

Almost crawling!

The nurse at the health care station told my mom that I would soon start crawling.  I have been lying on my stomach a lot lately, and I am trying my best to move forward by moving my legs - but my knees will not touch the ground. For now, I can only push myself backwards or look around the room by moving sideways. Today, I finally found out how to use my knees right and luckily my dad was sitting next to me with our camera! With a little more practice I think I will be able to move around the living room soon!
