Aaauuuw and Wooohoo!

Hello everyone,

The Aaauuuww story
Last week Niels did not let us sleep a lot (waking up in the middle of the night crying and didnt want to go back to sleep in his bed).

For 3 days we have to sleep with him in his room, then he sleeps fine. But otherwise...na-ah.

Afterwards we came to a conclusion that it probably is because he could not breath properly from his cough and cold...but it wasn't that. Our next guess was teeth! And we got a jackpot on that one! Niels is growing his 7th tooth. Additional tooth means, more chewing, lots of drool, a bite that hurts more, but closer to a complete set of teeth!

The Woohoo story
Last weekend Niels started getting a kick (figure of speech) on walking with Papa or Mama holding him with only one hand. He knows that he is doing something new and he shows that he likes doing it.

And last night he surprised us by staying standing up alone...NO HANDS! And he can from standing position sit properly on the floor.

He was soooo proud of what he did and of course we were so proud of him too. Papa sent sms immediately to Oma, Meter Vicky and Peter Pan to tell them about the good news!

So, for us it means more alert eyes and faster reaction!

The proud Mama and Papa,

Neri and Nico

Sssshhhhhhhhh...

Im trying to hide from Mama and Papa. They want to put me to bed but Im not sleepy yet so ssssshhhhhhh...

Ooooopppppssss...Papa found me! Hmp. I better find a new hiding place for next time!

Wakkere Niels

Hello everyone!

Last 1st of october Mama and I went again to Kind and Gezin for my stats. And as what we already know, the doctor and the nurse said Im a good healthy growing boy!

They asked Mama...
"Can he sit on his own?" Mama said "Since he was 6 months old!"
"Does he crawl already?" Mama said "Like Speedy Gonzales!"
"Does he eat his bread good?" Mama said, "Oh yeah yeah yeah!"
"Does he sleep good?" Mama undoubtedly said "Yes!" of course
"Does he say da-da-ba-ba..?" and Mama answered "Non-stop!"

I was so proud of myself that I stood up infront of the nurse (even if I was only wearing my pampers)...leaned on the table and reached for her paper and put it in my mouth! Oh you should have seen her jump from her chair to get the paper back! I was faster though! Hi hi hi

Anyway, here are my stats:
As a result of my good eating habits, Im now 9 kilos and 68 grams!
As a result of my good sleeps, Im now 73 centimeters tall!

And by the way, Im also helping Opa, Papa and Oma put up our tuinhuisje!

And I helped in cleaning up of course. All the wooden planks have to be set aside you know!

And after everything was done...it's time to taste that leaf!

Ciao!
