Photo Booth Fun With Marcus

Monday, July 30th, 2007

I got a new MacBook Pro a couple weeks ago and I decided to play with Photo Booth a bit.
This picture is of Marcus sleeping on his stomach for the first time. He was playing and rolled over and just fell asleep.

This picture is just the standard “playing with the funny settings” shot. I [...]

First holiday by plane (part II)

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

After our Washington visit, we flew to San Francisco to meet up with family and friends.
Grandma and grandpa met Marcus for the first time.

Just before we left on holiday, it was Father’s Day in Belgium for which Jon received a nice picture of Marcus. For the US Father’s Day 2 weeks later, we all went [...]

First holiday by plane (part I)

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

On June 10th, we went on our first family holiday to the US! Marcus did very well on his first flight. Other passengers even took pictures of our handsome boy!

Our first stop was Washington DC where we went for coffee at the White House. A handsome Belgian-American boy like Marcus deserves only the [...]

Carrots & Potatoes

Sunday, June 10th, 2007

Marcus is about 20 weeks, It’s time for some solid food. On the menu are fresh carrots and old potatoes. The first attempt was not very successful.

It has taken about 1 month before Marcus started loving his solid food. Mommy’s milk was much better.

His big smile makes everybody happy

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.

I visited the butterfly centre in the botanic gardens of Amsterdam together with Marcus. After 1 minute Marcus already had 2 [...]

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 [...]

Marcus may need to pay taxes

Marcus has started drooling like it’s his job. He seems to enjoy it, which is good. Because everyone should enjoy what they do.

Marcus starts to play in his crib

but his favorite activity is eating!

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 looks like he ate [...]

Enjoy the cute pictures of our happy son.

Cookie monster would eat Mr. Charming if he could

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.

But how can we not like the cutest baby in the world?

I’m actually surprised how easy it is to get up at night. Probably because Marcus’ smile makes [...]
