2 days more...and off we go to Austria!

Hi all,

Thursday was a busy-day-for-them and a rest-day-for-me. I was playing today with my puzzel mat...was able to dismantle 3 squares out! And I must say I have tasted every single piece! After 30 mins of playing with my puzzel, walking around the table and jumping...I got tired. I pointed to my rocking chair and had a cool nice rest...


Still have hang over frrom yesterday. Too much shopping tires me up. I guess sweet dreams for me and till tomorrow to you!

Wednesday...summer day?


Hello again everyone,


So, excited to know where I was yesterday? Wednesday was a busy day...phew! Lots of shopping to do in preparation for our trip to Austria.


Nope, we didn't go swimming.

Mama and Papa bought me a swimming outfit for Nauders.


Not again. I wasn't crying hahaha.

Mama and Papa let me taste Cornetto Ice Cream...MY GOODNESS it was COOOOLD! My two tiny teeth shivered to the roots!




Well here you are right. I was playing with Papa.
Papa calls it KUS GEVEN (giving a kiss) while I call it NEUS AFVEGEN (wiping off my nose).



This is KUS GEVEN. Aahhh! A warm sweet kiss from Papa.


I think now you know why I say Wednesday was a summer day :-)

Hop hop hop, Hasselt aan de top!

Hi everyone,

Since saturday, Mama, Papa and me are officially on holiday. Mama was supposed to be off since thursday but she had to go to work for a few hours to finish somethings...so, I spent my thursday in Balen with Oma...and at 6pm that day, Mama was back. Finally, her vacation has started.

Friday papa still had to go to work. Saturday he was home....yupeeeeee!!! Saturday was a lazy day, Sunday was Balen day, Monday was a work day (you know...cleaning the house, cutting the grass, vacuum cleaning) and today, Tuesday, is Hasselt day!



It wasn't sunny, little bit cloudy but not cold, also not that warm...actually Im confused...cause it looks like Mama was cold (she was wearing her jacket) and Papa keeps on saying he was warm. So here I am, trapped in between, wearing a sleeveless jacket with my hood on. Oh well, it was fun, that's what's important.

We also went into a pet shop. Oooh that was FUN! I saw lots of rabbits, rats, hamsters, bunnies, fishes, birds, parrots, turtles and what's fascinating is...they are all REAL!!! So kids, a little reminder...when you go into a pet shot..or a Zoo for that matter (this is a bigger pet shop only they dont sell the animals)...please note that all animals you will see will be real animals.

Afterwards we went to Hasselt centrum and to Kapermolen park. In the park you can see what type of tree you are as a person looking into which month you were born. We looked at what type of tree we were. Papa is a summer elm tree (July - zomer iep) Mama is a castagne (November - kastania) tree and I am a winter elm (January - winter iep). From the looks of it, the description on the characteristics of the tree really resembles Mama's and Papa's character...so probably will resemble mine as well...we will see.

I ate my fruitpap in Kapermolen park while Papa and Mama munched dried mangoes sent by Lolo and Lola. Afterwards, we continued walking, busy busy busy city but Mama and Papa kept on telling me that they lived for 5 years in Hasselt and that they love it. After a few naps, I woke up seeing Mama eating a big plate of brusselse wafel with ice cream and loooots of cream, and Papa cutting 2 big pieces of pancake with melted chocolate....WAAAAAAHHHHH! I want some too! (but I can't. So I was contented with a sip from my water bottle, tja...)

Time to go home...I was sleeping again in the car...when I woke up I was already in a dark familiar room...my room.

That was it...our Tuesday Hasselt day is over...where we will be tomorrow?....I dont know...I will let you know!

Ciao!
Niels

6 months, 1 week and a whole lot of FUN!


Hey hey hey...hello everyone,

It's been a while since we were able to post a blog. Since 4th of July lots have changed. Let me start from the beginning:

1. With my way of eating...other than being able to sit steady and eat on my babychair...barely nothing has changed....I still eat like a 4 month old hahaha.




2. I also had a visit from Lieke! I will post the picture next time when Mama receives the pictures from Lieke's Mama and Papa. It was so much fun seeing her...our Mamas and Papas definitely had lots of fun. Wait for more about this story...COMING SOON!


3. Kind and Gezin newsflash: 8,70 kilo and 68cm. And with our 2,5 hr stay in that room I met new kids. Emma, Kobe and Sammy...all nice kids! Emma said "Nielt! Nielt!" to me. Kobe is 7 months old and he sat and played with me. Sammy...he was just hungry! I want to hold him so he stops crying but...I wasn't old enough to do that Mama said.





4. Just the three of us: Here you will see Papa, me and Opa. I look like papa when Papa was younger and I will look like Opa when I get older hahaha...no hair! When I heard this...I GOTTA scratch my head!





5. Here is a picture from today. Celeste and I were having a photoshoot, and today's theme was "SIMON says, PUT SOMETHING IN OUR MOUTH!". I was too late to get a toy (Mama counted 1-2-3 too fast) so I improvised. Which also turned out good :-)




6. And to close this blog up...here is a nice summer vacation picture. Next summer...Celeste and I will spend our summer vacation with Oma and Opa.
