Mamarazzi Monday

This is my first Mamarazzi shot. I got the idea from this blog.

Mamarazzi is:
The female version of Papparazzi. (noun)
"Look at that Mamarazzi!"
The one who instead of cleaning up, says
"Wait right here... Let Mommy get her camera...."

Pressure helmet, Part 1

Today we went to the instrumentmaker to get a plaster mould of Flyn's head. This is needed in order to make the pressure helmet, which he needs to correct his flat head. On this picture you can see the flattening of the right sight of the occiput.


Picture 2: awaiting the procedure, playing with some plastic that the therapist gave him.

Picture 3: head swabbed with some shampoo, to make the removal of the plaster easier.

Pictures 4 and 5:bobbing net on top of it, as a foundation for the plaster.


Picture 6: drawing reference points with a blue marker.

Picture 7: undergoing the placing of the plaster.

Picture 8: getting tired and annoyed.

Picture 9: you've had enough!

Picture 10: shaping the plaster on an unhappy baby's head.

Picture 11: finally done, relieved and overwhelmed in mummy's arms.

Who, me?

Father's Day

World Championship Soccer 2010

Flyn explains the arrangement of the Dutch soccer team:

Letting go

Tomorrow is officially my first day back at work. Since it is a Friday, I took the day of, so I can start afresh on Monday. I have been at home with my baby for over five months. I live and breathe him. Yesterday we've visited daycare for a few hours, in order for Flyn to get accustomed to the new surroundings. I got to stay, thank God! Tommorow he's going for his second time, I am supposed to leave. It is sooooo hard to let go of my sweet boy, even for a few hours. My heart bleeds, but I know he'll be okay. I will be too, once it settles.

The Great Outdoors

Summer started in our backyard! Every afternoon I take the cushions for the chairs, make some coffee, put up the parasol and place your campingbed /slash/ playpen underneath it. You love feeling the breeze, watching the branches of the trees move, and looking through the wire mesh, watching me sunbathe and drink coffee. We hear birds sing and bumblebees buzz. Life is good when it's simple: just you and me and a cup of coffee on a sunny afternoon.
