Aujourd’hui, j’ai 4 mois. Je gazouille deja  pas mal et je dis bien "a-reuh". J'attrape mes jouets mais je ne joue jamais tres longtemps avec. Je preferre etre dans les bras de Maman  et jouer avec ses mains ou les boutons de son pull. Quand Papa rentre du travail c’est toujours la rigolade. Il me fait rire avec ses grimaces et ses droles de lunettes.

Je suis tres curieuse et j’ai tres envie de me tenir debout deja. La position assise reste encore un grande acrobatie … j’en suis plutot au stade de la culbute. Par contre, je n'aime pas etre allongee sur le ventre... Ca me fait pleurer .. Et je n'aime pas pleurer..

Maman me promene tous les jours dans ma poussette. Je fais toujours un peu la comedie quand elle m'y assoit... mais une fois qu'on est dehors, j'aime beaucoup parler aux arbres et au vent qui me chatouille mes joues.

Ce que j'aime, c'est danser avec Papa et Maman et quand Maman me chante les fabulettes  .... Ca me fait rigoler :)

Voila, et pour feter tout ca, eh bien je vais vous jouer un petit air de piano (avec Ylona au rire).

So after Normandie, Papa brought us to the other cheese country ; the Netherlands. Next time, I want to see the tulips !!

Again, I met a lot of new people, but the most important was to meet Opa ! Too bad he broke his right arm... a long story. He could not take me in his arms!

Here is Opa, and Oma at the back..

With Tita, Tito and Ylona, we went to Antwerp . It's in Belgium. We had lunch there and look, the blues brothers-in-law were out too !!

Ylona got a gift from Papa and Maman cause they could not be there for her birthday (because of me hihihi !!). I think she liked the gift. 

Papa took me on his belly for a tour!

It was magic, I could walk !!!!

I made a new friend, Edward Junior. Edward is also half Philippino. He is 6 months old. His father Edward and mother Mary live not far from Tita and Tito and they are friends.

.    

At first it was a bit difficult between us, we were shy J But then he brought me on his car seat for a ride .. I loved it !!

Then, look all my fans ! Aren't they beautiful? Am I not lucky to have so nice godfathers?? I met them for the first time.

This is Sylvester

And here with Klaas 

And Florian

They had eyes only for me JJJ  We had a lot of fun 

Sylvester is a Papa to be. Yippee a new friend to come to play with when I go back to Holland !!! I hope to see all of you soon in Dublin .

To help me to fall asleep, Papa red me stories in the evening, from my new books. But he often fell asleep when I wanted more.   J

Then Tita Lolet, Cherito, Uncle Kees and Rosario came with loads of gifts for me again. They are Oma's sisters, brother-in-law and niece. Titas cooked, cause, you know, food is important for .. philipinos J

  Opa likes cooking too, but tis time he could only look!

Here, with Rosario

Pinsan JC and Tita Evangeline were also there. It was their last week In Holland before they went back to the  Philippines. Everybody was sad when they left. We hope to see you all soon and Take care of you both. 

Hey look who we also met ! It's Ingrid!

She was Papa's teacher, and then Ylona's! We went to the school .. where Papa started to learn dutch. Ylona still go to this school.

But look at the strange houses there are in Rotterdam !! J

And what do you think of these giant "helipanther" JC ?

At last, to relax, I played a bit of music for everybody...

And then it was time to leave. My bag was ready ..

It was nice seeing you again. I'll see you next year. Please, send me a post card from the Philippines !J
