Ronja and Kaisli came to visit us

I was probably saying: Hummpa

With my mother, who has just been to the smoke sauna of Ahti

Summer holiday Finland - part 1

The birthday boy!

First birthday cake. I wasn't able to blow the candle, my sister, however, was.

I adapt quickly to the usual habits in Finland.

I liked this dog a lot. We stayed for one night in this cabin. There was a beautiful sauna at the lake, and I also swam in the lake!

Playing with Bobbie

A couple of weeks ago we went to visit my Aunt Nelleke's family in Zeeland. It was a lot of fun!!! Bobbie and I are quite different personalities but we play very nicely together! She's only 12 days younger than I am.

Potty

My sister is potty training, and I also think it's fun to sit on the potty! Who knows, maybe I'll learn it before she does!

Learning new stuff

I am quickly becoming a big boy. I have finally learned to eat fingerfood quite well. Here I am eating a strawberry with some rice cakes. I often refuse to be fed anymore. Unless I also get a spoon in my hand and am allowed to eat from the plate myself. Which of course gets messy. So my mom hopes that I soon figure out how to properly put the spoon in my mouth.


I am also climbing EVERYWHERE now. Today I even learned to climb up the stairs, all the way to the second floor. I do it really well. But I'd also like to try to jump down the stairs, so I am quite a risk factor to myself.


Here I am standing with support, but I've also been standing more and more without any support. I'm learning a lot of stuff!!

Besides eating shoes, climbing and going outside, one of my favourite things is watching building machinery. There are some building works close to our house and we go and watch the machines there. Also if I hear a machine (tractor, crane etc..) passing our house, I try to quickly crawl to the window to see it!!

Strawberries

This is my first contact with strawberries!

I decided to wait until they get a bit sweeter and donated this one to my dad!

Sandbox 2

It's been again much colder lately, but thanks to finnish children's clothes (my lovely overalls, which I've inherited from my sister), I have still been able to enjoy the fun of the sandbox! Here dad was taking the picture and couldn't stop me from tasting some of the delicious sand.
