Haircut

I just cut your hair for the second time since you were born. It's very hot weather, and also you will be getting your pressure helmet in a few weeks time. When I look at you there's no doubt: you're a BOY.
A very special boy. This Thursday was your half-year birthday. I can wholeheartedly say that it has been the best six months of my life. I never knew I had so much motherlove left, after raising your big brother Jesse. But there's plenty where that came from, and still more every single day I get to spend with you. Daddy and Jesse also have grown to love you to bits. You are the light of our lives, and hopefully we will stay to be yours!

Mother's Day

No, they didn't bring me breakfast in bed today, but nevertheless I love them to bits. My big boy, who will be sweet sixteen in 10 days time, and my little one, who just turned four months.

How do I love thee?

Let me count the ways ...


You light up our lives, with your being, your sounds, your sweet smell, the twinkle in your eyes ... You are the conclusion of our day, our rise in the morning. And each time our hearts skip a beat by the thought of seeing your sweet face.

The best place in the whole wide world

is on your mummy's shoulder. You drule, you snore, you totally surrender. When you feel al little unpleasant, I lift you in my arms, and it only takes minutes to get you to sleep. It's the sweetest feeling ever!

Wordless Wednesday (woordeloze woensdag)

The sweetness of you

Today has been a cozy day. You were relaxed most of the time, and we cuddled a lot! When we had visitors, they held you for a while, then you safely returned to my arms. And boy, did I love it! You curled your toes from sheer pleasure when you were laying against my shoulder. Everywhere I go I smell the sweet scent of baby Flyn, it's all in the imagination, I guess. I gave you countless kisses, layed my cheeck against yours when you were sleeping, and consider myself fortunate to have you in my life.

That look

makes me wonder which wise words are on your mind. It's so obvious that you hold a treasure of thoughts and feelings inside that tiny body.

That look is also very convenient, because it makes people want to hold you (and hug and kiss you) So even without words, you know how to get your message accross!
