Hi Emily,

There’a Dutch tradition where you celebrate by announcing to your neighbours of a new arrival.  Daddy wanted to make sure that everyone knew how proud we were to have our new bundle of joy in our lives!

Yes,we like cats…. unfortunately the cats haven’t really taken to you yet!  We weren’t too such how Blake & Bailey would react however it was somewhat of an anti-climax… a sniff here and there and no more.  This soon changes when you shove a crying baby in their face, they run a mile!  I’m sure once you’re older you’re going to have a lot of fun chasing them around… however something tells me the feeling’s not going to be mutual!!!

As you can see from all the cards we received, everyone was so pleased for our news!  There’s a mixture from friends, family and neighbours here… all wishing us the best… Don’t worry, you’ll be able to read all of these in the future as we keep everything!  Including your umbilical cord!

Love
Daddy

In Romania, the godparents for our wedding also become your godparents.. and any future brothers and sisters you might have. This bares them with great responsibilities for which the only one you’re interested in at the moment is the providing of a loving cushion 😀

Mihaela, aka Nasa, has come all the way from Romania to spend a week with us. She’s here to give us some support while we adjust to having a daughter, which in turn means I’ve been kicked out the bedroom, Nasa and Mummy will take care of you during the night.

As she has a son herself she was able to give us many tips and advice in caring for you. You’ll meet her son (Stefan) one day and most importantly your Nasu (godfather), he’s stayed behind in Romania to hold down the fort, his name is Razvan.

As you can see she’s a natural mother and she helped out tremendously throughout the week. Both Mihaela (Nasa) & Razvan (Nasu) will play a big part in your upcoming Baptism. Mummy is already busy planning this, you’ll learn this about her when you get older 😀 I’m surprised she hasn’t married you off already 🙂 Hopefully if everything goes to plan we’ll be holding it in Romania early next year.

Daddy
