Just a few moments of my first summer Jan-Feb-Mar 2014. Enjoy!
March 17th, 2014. I am 1 year old, and it shows!
Still small in weight and size for my age, but undeniably the best smiler and smoothest crawler around! And very present; I pity my big brother Dante who takes toys from me and pushes me away – just wait and see, soon I will walk all over you… Bro, you are so kind and sweet, and I am just a little faster, naughtier, and always with a smile to get away with it.
As you know I live in the southern hemisphere where winters are July-August-September; now winters in Valparaiso are mild and pretty sunny – and when it rains, heaven comes down for 24 hours. I love going out, and being carried around in my Baby carrier.
Inside the comfort of home, I feel very at ease and like to express myself:
With 25 days of age, my pediatrician is very satified with my growth: now 3,2kg ~ 7 Lbs with 50cm ~ 20″ (up from 2,6kg ~ 5.7 Lbs with 45cm ~18″).
I look bigger as well, drinking pure mother’s milk and sleeping all day. The nights are weird though. I feel ackward in my tummy & guts and cry my lungs out until I have seen all the rooms of the house twice – once in my Moms arms, then my Dads arms. When I see they are desperate I stop, have a good drink, make sure NOT to burp, so I can sleep a while on someones breast. As soon as I am put in my bassinet I start complaining again, and I keep fuzzy until my next feed. At the glares of sunrise my body relaxes, I am exhausted and fall into a nice sleep.
Other than that, no complaints, my brother Dante check in on me various times a day and seems to accept my presence.
Today the four of us walked downtown and bought a nice pairs of walking boots for my brother, he loves them!
And real great news: my grandma Oma Reintjen comes to visit us, for a month!! Can’t wait to meet her, I heard her voice via skype a couple of times, but that’s not the same. Bet she holds me and sways me like only grandma’s do.
This is me coming home after hospital release, a week old; a meeting between the 2 brothers, my big brother Dante does the talking!
To make things easier on my brother, I bought him a present:
