How small a hand can be.

Little cute dude

Yes ladies, I am still single.

Turtle eclipse

Hello Turtle.

But what does a turtle do here?

Ey, buddy that's a little bit close!

Whoa, my first solar eclipse.

Who ate the rabbit?

"It was me"

I am Ian

A Walk in the Park

"They did the walking, I did the sleeping."

I can sit up now ;)

I can sit up now with a little bit of help from mommy. I just love to burp in this position.

Ian and Daddy

I haven't spent much time with daddy, because he doesn't have what I need, but sometimes I like to relax on top of him.

I have a nasty face too!

I am adorable when I sleep but...

 

then I woke up and....

I "enjoyed" a crazy ride in the jungle chair.

Handsome man

My favorite spot.

"The number one hangout for hungry babies."

Relatives

Grandma

Stork delivery.

Finally the stork arrived. He apologized for the delivery being so late.

Mr Elephant

 

WTF!!!!

Oh, it's you Mr. Elephant.

Yes I know, the weather sucks. Haven't seen a single ray of sunshine my entire life.

Grandma

 Grandma staring at me, and I just stare back.

Me taking it easy on grandma's shoulder.

At home service

Ian had to get his heel pricked to draw blood for the testing for 17
uncommon diseases. The man is from the health service and the woman is
from the 'kraamzorg', a post-birth at-home service helping with all
sorts of things, from weighing him, to bathing, and providing general
care and advice to me and for Ian. I like this home service!! (covered
by insurance) :)

Going Home

Yah finally I can go home with mommy and daddy.

(Me in the carseat, I fell asleep right away)

(Me looking all relaxed)

 

(Finally at home taking a nap)

Last sleep in hospital, going home finally!

Ian is having his last rest in the hospital bassinet, thankfully!
We're headed home! He also smiled a couple of times while sleeping :-)

Day 3

Today was a good day, I sucked my fingers for the first time and fell asleep all by myself. Mommy is really happy about that!

Grandpa checking me out. I didn't cry at all.

Me sucking my fingers, it's great!

My first bath.

Yesterday, Daddy introduced me to the wonder of personal hygiëne. He almost drowned me, but in the end it was acceptable.
