Another first for you today, a slightly strange one but it still counts! Today you joined the ‘mile high club’ for babies, having your diaper changed at 30,000 feet. Ok, you didn’t poop but you did pee a lot at over 800 km/h.
I think Mummy did an excellent job in such cramped conditions. You should feel lucky as you were allowed in the Business Class toilets!
Daddy
Poor Bunny didn’t have his passport with him… but don’t worry… Mummy and Daddy smuggled him in. He’s currently hiding out in your toy box avoiding immigration, you see he’s British, LOL
We’ll have to get you a new passport this year as yours is only temporary, plus in my opinion you don’t look anything like your picture!
Daddy
Today is Mothers Day, Mummy was extremely pleased with your present and kind words. We noticed one day you arrived home with paint on your hands, a complete mystery until she received a present, one that you made!
It was a teapot, with teabags, decorated with hand prints! So cute and personal! You also got Mummy a lovely bunch of flowers, so pretty!
Thank you my sweetheart, I love you very much! Here’s to many more Mothers Days together.
Mummy
So after your baptism we find ourselves in Romania again for the baptism of Stefania. We were hoping that you’d enjoy it a little more than yours, however you fell ill 🙁
And here is Stefania on her big day!
Daddy
It sounds like a bad joke but how many people does it take to feed a baby, in this case it takes 2, 3 if you include me taking pictures! As we were travelling we didn’t have the luxury of making you fresh food each day so bottled carrots it was. With the help of Oma we tried to feed you 🙂
Oma did a good job of holding you still, Mummy for shoveling it in and me, for distracting you with random pictures 😀 It’s true to say though you didn’t like this one as much as the one Mummy makes you, nothing like home cooked food right?
Daddy
Maybe I’m shaping your future love for extreme sports? 🙂 Either way you had a lot of fun with me this morning. Don’t worry, Mummy knows I did this 🙂 I remember at one point we both took an arm and leg and swung you! You really loved that!
Daddy
One of your favorite toys is the rings, one of Mummy’s best buys! From all the colors you seem to like the orange, blue & purple the best.
If you’re wondering how you managed to get them on your arm, the below video should answer all your questions 🙂
Daddy
Hi Sweetie, who’s our big girl?! Congratulations on your 6th month birthday. It’s amazing how fast you’re growing. You’ve somehow managed to survive with having 2 crazy parents like us! We are the perfect family!
We also introduced you to a bubble gun! Daddy had the most fun with this seeing how far the bubbles would float… one even went over the street and houses into the fields. As you can see Mummy didn’t let Daddy play with this in the house… next time 🙂
Daddy
Today is Kings Day in Holland so it’s tradition to go out in Orange, sell second hand stuff and play games 🙂 This year we went to meet some friends in a local village center. However we started the day off with some cuddles!
Then in order to prepare you for the day ahead we did some early morning exercises 🙂
The village we all went to was Ransdorp, just north of Amsterdam. You were too young to join in for the games however you seemed to enjoy yourself, pretty in Orange 🙂
And as a bonus in the evening I played ‘Music Teacher’ and tried to play to your musical interests. Unfortunately I’m not the greatest single but I do a mean rattle! 😀
Daddy
You managed to confuse me while changing you today, I couldn’t work out how suddenly you’d lost a leg. I was trying to put your onesie back on and I just couldn’t find it… until I worked out you had grabbed it to play with 😀
Daddy
Today I tried a new technique to put you to sleep, something we’d seen on the internet and was deemed as the ‘miracle cure’ 🙂 It was highly overrated!
You have a habit of crying when your milk is over, no matter if you’re full or not. Am I a bad Dad for filming this? And… sometimes when you cry it sounds like an evil laugh or something, this in turn makes me and Mummy laugh.. are we bad parents? 😀 Lol
Daddy
Today we had a game of ‘Name that tune’ 🙂 You were extremely good at it and won by naming Old McDonald! You’ve actually learnt a lot of tunes from YouTube… I’m not sure if that’s good or not 😀 However it really does show how your brain is developing by connecting things together! Now let’s see how long it takes you to connect ‘Daddy’ to my face 🙂 Once you do I can never shave my beard 😀
Daddy
So you’ve been at the creche now for 3 days and we only just noticed that they had a welcome message for you 🙂 I guess you could say we’re not very observant 😀 It was extremely nice of them to welcome you to the group, I’m sure you’re going to have a lot of fun there!
Mummy & Daddy
A Steiff Teddy Bear is extremely famous make of bear, a collectors item in fact. Grandma & Granddad got you one labeled ‘My First Steiff’. Like Mummy you can now be proud you have something ‘branded’ 😀 You’ll be the envy of the creche! It’ll have to stay at home though, safe and sound!
Daddy
It’s a very exciting day today, your first day at the Happy Kids Creche! Lots of new friends to make, lots of new toys to play with. I think it’s going to be sensory overload for you.
It was extremely hard to leave you there and go to work. I’m sure it’ll get easier in time once we see how much you love it there. Below are some pictures they took and uploading to their website, they helped calm our nerves throughout the day.
The gallery was not found!You had a great day, swinging & sleeping in the hammock, getting lots of attention from both other children and the carers. I think you’re going to have a wonderful time there over the next few years.
Mummy & Daddy
One of our favorite outfits for you is the little Unicorn outfit 🙂 You look the cutest! It’ll be a shame when you grow out of it. However we have seen a onesie that you’ll fit into when you’re a little older, we can’t wait!
In the evening we both sung along to ‘Old McDonald’ 🙂 One of your favorite songs!
Daddy
What’s better to do than learning to crawl with Daddy. This morning we had some spare time to try and teach you the basics of crawling. It didn’t really work out as you’re only 5 months, but we had a lot of fun trying!
Daddy
Nothing to do outside, nothing on TV…. so we played around on the carpet and in the swing. Lots of pictures to be taken of our little cutie!
Daddy
It seems like someone wants to go for a walk 😀 While waiting for Mummy to get home from work I took you out and about, to see the neighbourhood.
As always you don’t tend to say much when you’re out, the occasional moan or urgh when you see something interesting. You look so cute in your mini-mouse coat!
Daddy
With Mummy still away I had to balance everything, literally. It seems you have a fascination with me brushing my teeth, you had a lot of fun trying to grab it out of my mouth!
Don’t worry sweetie, you’ll have a nice pink toothbrush soon enough, we’re expecting your first teeth to come through very soon!
Daddy
