Met de auto naar Oostende!

Hello everyone,

Friday was windy but warm enough to go to the beach. We did not play in the sand (too cold for that kind of activity) but Mama and Papa dragged me as close as possible to the water so I can see what an ocean looks like. The waves, the wind on my face and the sea gulls are very attractive to me.

Here are some pictures of our trip:

Papa and Me, we just arrived in Oostende

Mama and Me, we were waiting for the wave to come closer

Me so eager to go on top of the table without any help from Papa

What will I be when I grow up?

Niels with his new ball

Basketball player or football player?

We have to wait and see because for now I'm just learning how to enjoy the ball!

Im the BOSS now!

In my babychair

(in Belgium they call it kakastoel!)

Nowadays I can sit straight on my own for a few minutes...yeah, only a few minutes not longer. Otherwise, after this few minutes I begin to lean on one side and stay there! I call it MY RELAXING MOMENT, Mama and Papa call it...NOT-READY-YET.

When I sit in my kakastoel they have to put cushions all over me to avoid hurting myself during my so called relaxing-moment :-) I might hit my head on the chair, I might hurt my shoulder, etc. etc. Parents! Parent! Parents! They are always so worried about everything! But anyway, Im just a toddler, when I grow older I will show them what I'm made of!

GET READY!

Translation: Kaka = babytalk for dump (excuse me for my words); stoel = chair

Een hapje van Oma's broodje...

I just can't wait anymore!

Last Sunday we went to Papa's work (they were unusually open last Sunday to celebrate Metro's 5th birthday). There they had a GIANT bread! The biggest bread I have ever seen and they were roasting a pig.

Oma gave me a taste of her bread...but I didnt give it back to her anymore. It was delicious!

Oma, my piece of bread and me

It was a tiring day

The roasting Pig :-)

Mama was so enthusiatic about it, she told me she remembers Philippines when she sees a roasting pig. hmmm...

A visit to Vincent and Ermina

Hello you all,

Mama and I went to Hasselt last saturday to visit Tita Rachella, Ermina and Vincent. Ermina was not home at first (she attended her classmate's birthday party in Pretland).

By 4.30pm, Tita Rachella picked Ermina up...I was left with Mama and Vincent (sleeping in his room). By 5pm, Vincent woke up, looking for his Mama...so my mama went to tell him that his mama will be home soon and that he can come to the living room and sit down...and then I woke up! So Mama has 2 babies to take care of! Mama took me and brought me closer by Vincent because Vincent just stood up where he was...STEADILY. He did not move a single bit...only his eyeballs were moving ha ha ha.

When Tita Rachella and Ermina got home, we played a lot! We played with the ball and the drum!

Vincent with the drums, Ermina with the ball and Me in my buggy

But the ball is my favorite! Tita Rachella was playing ball with me and I cant just stop laughing so hard! I enjoyed it a lot!

Brushing my first milkteeth

Good day everyone!

Since I have teeth now, I have to (like any other homo sapien with teeth) brush and keep the milkteeth clean. Today, for the first time, I did it!

It was fun brushing my tiny teeth. Mama helped me and showed me how to do it. With the matching deliciously flavored toothpaste...I have to do this once a day for 2-3 minutes.

Addition to my bathing and pamper changing...my grooming responsibilities are adding up! Hope I wont need a shaver any time soon!

Mama offered to help me brush my teeth

(I said OK as long as I have the toothpaste nearby...its delicious!)

Hopla! Alles...in de mond!

Een...

Twee...

Drie...

HOPLA!

Mijn lepeltje even lekker likken

Licking my spoon while Mama is not looking

Ey everyone! Since saturday I started my fruitpap...believe it or not...its more delicious than my groentepap! I dont know what Mama puts in it but it surely is finger licking good!

I ate immediately 125g of it (I heard mama tell Papa that there is banana, apple, orange and cookie in there. The next day I had apple and pear, also delicious!)

Yummy!!!!

Happy Papa's Day

Papa and Me

To the sweetest Papa in the world...today is your day! Mama and I prepared a surprise for you!

Mama and I LOVE you soooooo much!

5 months and 2 teeth!

Hey everyone!

Everybody knows I turned 5 months today...but I have some more news!!!!!
First, I can already hold my small bottle and drink water on my own!
Second, the toothfairy passed by last night while I was sleeping!!!! I got my first 2 teeth!

We went today to Celeste's schoolfeast to watch her dance with Alice in Wonderland. I saw today sooo many children! I have to do lots of pipi today because aside from playing a lot with Celeste, she kept on giving me water to drink! Anyway, it was fun!

Later today while I was drinking my milk, Mama saw...I have my 2 first teeth!!!! And ooh she was so happy and I was oooh so in pain (naaah! I didnt hurt a bit!)

It was a nice warm sunday

2 weeks ago we were supposed to watch Celeste dance in her schoolfeast...but the director of the school postponed it due to a forecast of bad weather that day. But look how that sunday turned out to be. It was a perfect day, a warm sunny day!

Tante Nicole was testing if I will still cry if she talks to me

That day was a crying day (huil dag). Celeste was crying and I was crying. Celeste fell when she was playing on her new swing and I just had my vaccination a few days ago. And Tante Nicole thought I didnt like her. Its not you Tante Nicole its that nasty injection's fault!

With Opa and Oma

Mama even have to take my shirt and pants off because it was tooooo warm!

With Meter Vicky

While Celeste was playing at her swing, I was able to enjoy my time with Meter Vicky

On the swing with Mama And I also had my turn on the swing with Mama!

And who said something about a rainy day?

I even have to wear my cap because the sun shines in my eyes!
