Marcus is 3 months

Sunday, April 22nd, 2007

His big smile makes everybody happy 116118 Even when he sleeps, he is the cutest boy ever – I think Jon and I are also very happy that he finally started sleeping though the night. 98 I visited the butterfly centre in the botanic gardens of Amsterdam together with Marcus. After 1 minute Marcus already [...]

Our second home in the centre of Amsterdam

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

Jon received the keys from his work to an apartment located in the heart of Amsterdam. It’s considered a larger place in Amsterdam (75m2) but it’s on the fifth floor. It’s quite a challenge to hike up and down the narrow steap stairs with Marcus and the scroller. We became good friends with the owners [...]

First trip to Amsterdam

Monday, April 2nd, 2007

On Tuesday, March 20th, Jon, Marcus and I went to Amsterdam where Jon started a new project for work. While Jon works, Marcus and I could relax and enjoy the scenery. 316 We stayed at a nice hotel just outside the city center. (The tallest building.) As you can see, we had beautiful weather! On [...]

Marcus is 9 weeks

Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

Marcus starts to play in his crib 302 but his favorite activity is eating! 134 There are however some consequences of wanting too much of the good milk. High volume burps after each meal is a daily routine. Whatever happens, Marcus keeps smiling… even when his face is covered with his milk — it almost [...]

The pros outweigh the cons

Monday, March 19th, 2007

Until two days ago, Marcus has been asking for mommy’s milk every 3-4 hours, including the nights. This has obviously tired me out during the last 8 weeks. 356 But how can we not like the cutest baby in the world? 170 I’m actually surprised how easy it is to get up at night. Probably [...]

Flying across the world to meet

Monday, March 19th, 2007

Jon’s mother, Susan, or better GG (standing for Gordious Grandmother) had a hard time waiting till early Februari to finally meet her first grandson. But it was worthwhile the very long wait and flight from San Jose, California. 224 Also Marcus showed his love for GG – by grabbing her hand very very tight. 350 [...]

Trips with visiting family

Sunday, March 18th, 2007

During the stay of Jeff, Staci, and Susan, we did take several little trips. Jeff, Staci and Jon went one day to Amsterdam, allowing Staci to talk with the coordinator of a master program and hand over her application forms. Only a few days later Staci recieved a confirmation congratulating her with her acceptance to [...]

Busy, busy, busy

Monday, March 12th, 2007

February was a busy month for us. Mom came to visit for 2 weeks. Jeff and Staci came for 8 days. We threw a party. All sorts of family and friends came to see Marcus and the new house. On top of that, we’re still getting settled into the house and trying to get into [...]

Intro to the baseball team

Tuesday, February 20th, 2007

We invited our friends of the baseball team while Jeff, Staci and Susan were still in town. (http://jon.cabuki.com/flier.htm) Marcus had to wear his baseball outfit that aunt Staci and uncle Jeff gave him. 100 At the next party, Marcus will wear his new Giants outfit from GG. (Gorgious Grandma)
