Wat ben ik groot geworden!

Ik weeg nu 7 kilo!

Mama treated me with some new stuff!

Niels' first day at the day care...

"Hi Niels! Mama is home!". He looked at me for a second trying to distinguish who this familiar face is? Oh its my mama! Then he smiled at me. I picked him up, hugged him and kissed him a lot! And suddenly my tears were flowing out of my eyes. I was so happy to see my baby again. I missed him so much, and that smile just melts my heart.

Such a pleasant smile I had been longing to see the whole day already. Anxious to go home from work I could not think of anything else but Niels. Hope he drinks his milk with Nicole, hope he wont cry, hope he sleeps good, hope hope hope and actually there was no use with all these worries! When he smiled at me, its like he is saying, "Mama, I had a fun day!"

Now my worries are, I hope he would still enjoy being home on thursdays and fridays or would he rather be at the day care? I hope he does not get bored with me :-( I hope he would still like to come home with me when I pick him up in the evening :-(

In the morning after his 6am milk, I dressed him up so he is ready to go to the daycare as soon as he wakes up by 9.30am. While I dressed him up he smiled at me saying, "Mama lets play!!!" I told him its sleeping time still and playing time is when he wakes up in the morning. It looks like he understood me cause after a few seconds he went back to sleep. It just hurts to know that he will not be waking up at home but at the day care and not playing with me like what we did during the 3 months but with Nicole and the other children. Its a nice learning experience for him and I should be happy. I SHOULD BE HAPPY! But its kinda difficult to accept that my baby is growing so fast...soon he wont be a baby anymore.

My baptism

Mama thought I would cry in the church since beginning friday night I caught cold :-s Not really pleasant but I can handle it. The whole saturday and sunday morning I was not really comfortable breathing and sleeping, I was crying most of the time. Mama has to put some drops in my nose to help me breath. Surprisingly, during the baptism my nose went along.

Sign of the cross with the holy oil

Its nice to see the priest talk to me, he also put the sign of the cross on my forehead with oil, its kinda cold but I liked it.

Baptizing with water

Afterwards, he also gave me a quick shower! It was kinda weird though cause it was a very very quick shower...did not even have the time to undress and wet the rest of my body :-)

They really thought I would cry as soon as the priest gave me that cold water...it was alright, its more refreshing than frightening. But anyway, everything went very very well and proud to say...I can be baptized again! I was a good boy yesterday!

Here are some more pictures...

I just turned 3 months & Im celebrating my birthday with all my toys!

Phase 2 and 3

Hello everyone!

On Monday starts a new phase in my life and in my mama and papa's life...starting monday I will be going to Nicole's daycare (This is Phase 3). Im excited to see all my new friends! Mama is a little sad though. She told me she has to get used to the idea still that she won't be seeing me every second and every minute of the day anymore as to the whole 3 months we were together. She will get use to it! As soon as I show her what new things I learned at the daycare she will be fine :-)

And also, I'm old enough to be left in the daycare! I will be a good boy (Mama keeps on telling me the whole week already to be a good boy at the daycare...she should know by now that I AM a good boy!)

I have visited the day care already twice...cause Mama can't get her nerves calmed until she knows I will be ok with Nicole of the daycare. So when we were there the last time, I gave Nicole my biggest smile so Mama will have her peace of mind...and my plan worked! She is ok now....at least that's what she told me!

But before Phase 3 is Phase 2. On sunday, I will be baptized! I will officially have Meter Vicky, Peter Danny, Uncle Lukasz and Ninang Geli as my godparents! Celeste and Nonkel Danny wont be able to join us though because Celeste has chickenpocks! Anyway, I will see her next time!

So wish us all the luck for all these changes in our lives! Also, I'm turning 3 months on 6 April! So, Happy 3rd Monthsary to me!!!
