This week daddy started working at his new job, so he’s not around during the day anymore. :( I miss him… Of course I like being with mommy just as well. She has been very nervous to be alone with me every day, but she’s doing great! We’re making a lot of walks and she doesn’t let the rain stop her. She discovered I usually don’t mind to go back to sleep after my early breakfast, so that’s when she’s looking after the household.

I don’t like to go to bed in the afternoons. So we go for walks or even grocery shopping in the supermarket then. The latter is a bit hard for mommy though, because the baby carrier isn’t the best way to carry me during shopping. It’ll become easier when I’m a bit older.

Mommy took some pictures with her mobile phone during our walks yesterday and today. There was a lot of sun yesterday! Today it was raining. :(  You’ll see on the pictures:

Mommy and daddy got me a rain forest with moving leaves and animals! It even plays music!

I love my forest, it calms me down when I am upset in my bed because I don’t want to sleep. It makes me slee…zzzzzzzz…

Mommy and daddy took me to a lady with a very difficult name. Chiro…something. She examined me after which she did weird things with my pelvis and spine. It made me cry, but mommy and daddy stayed with me and took me in their arms after that odd lady was done pushing me.

I sleep much better now. I am more relaxed and I cry less. I even slept on the left side of my head today (for 2 minutes)! I don’t know what that lady did, but I feel better, less tense.

I have been smiling to mommy and daddy a lot today. Dad belly tickles me, he makes me smile! And when mom shows me her big smile, I have to smile as well. :D Smiling is fun!

Some pictures to end this post with:

I was a good girl, today. I was all happy and content. I smiled at the world, even when we went to the Counseling Office to discuss the little red spots in my face. The woman told mommy and daddy that it was okay and nothing to worry about.

So we went home and I was still all happy and content and mommy changed the sheets in my cradle and I slept all day with a little playtime after each feeding.

And I slept for 8 hours straight tonight. But that also meant that I had 8 hours of accumulated poop in my diaper. And it didn’t fit. So when I woke up the parents at 4 AM, daddy had the great opportunity to change all of my clothes, change all the sheets again, find a new sleeping bag, take the laundry out of the laundry machine, put the new laundry in, hang the laundry up to dry and by then, I was all fed and ready to go to sleep again. I feel happy and content. Usually, daddy sits around while I’m being fed. But this time, I gave him something to do. He looked happy. I think …

I had a great time at uncle Jeroen’s birthday! He celebrated it at my grandparents’ house, which I had never been to before. A big house! Everybody wanted to hold me and I loved it. I even fell asleep in granddad’s arms.

Here are the pictures!

Today, I’m going to visit Uncle Joen! He lives all the way in the somewhere else part of the Netherlands and we’re going to drive there. I’ve already packed all my favourite movies and books in a plastic bag. Daddy asked why we’re taking an empty plastic bag. Really, the man does a good job changing diapers but has zero imagination.

Daddy loves the couch. I love daddy.

Today, I looked at daddy and smiled while he held me. I could see he liked it. Men, they’re so easy!

Daddy also sang me a wonderful song today. It went like this.

Papa, zing een lied voor mij
Over frambozen en ook aardbeien
Papa heeft duidelijk geen enkel gevoel voor metrum
En de melodie is ook al niet om over naar huis te schrijven

Roughly translated (Poetry is what’s lost in translation)

Daddy, sing me a song
About a blackberry and a strawberry
Daddy clearly has no feel for rhythm whatsoever
And the melody clearly isn’t going anywhere either

I hope Daddy gets better with time!

Today the lady at the child counseling office told me I gained 400 grams in 8 days. I looooove mommy’s milk, but the lady told mommy she has to feed me every 4 hours now. ;_; Nooo, I want milk every 3 hours! She also told daddy and mommy I am crying so much because I have tummy cramps. And those are caused by too much milk. Hmmm…

Well, I don’t care, I want my milk and I let mommy and daddy know I do not like waiting. After a really nice long walk through town in the baby carrier at daddy’s chest, I was hungry! When we came home I cried for 1,5 hours. I wanted my milk, but instead daddy was cleaning the house and mommy was carrying me around. Arrrgh, they seem determined about the 4 hour pattern. >:|

Yet, it is nice not to have so much tummy cramps…

And now it is time for some random pictures!
