Soon to be a big brother

Ian is soon to be a big brother and it seems like he is catching on, given his recent mood swings.  I am sure there will be the normal jealousy issues, but I think he'll be a wonderful, caring big brother!!  We will create a separate blog for the little girl, so stay tuned!

In the meantime, here are some photos from an impromptu photoshoot of Ian and the baby belly.  

Ian LOVES doing puzzles, playing little card matching games, and playing some fun learning games on the i-pad.  He has also started counting things and can count in English and Dutch - sometimes without any help or prompting from us.  He speaks primarily Dutch, but can understand English well, sometimes mixing them in a sentence.  His favorite animal is his blue sock monkey. :-)  Oh, and he really enjoys singing various nursery rhymes, mostly Dutch, because his mama also likes singing the Dutch ones ;-)
