Almost 5 months

LOOK AT MY BOY!!! AARRGGHHH tell me where the time is going - my son is almost five months old! Scott is just growing in leaps and bounds! at the last visit to the consultatie bureau he weighed 7.690 kilos and was 67 cm long - he is now able to grab and hold onto things and everything he gets into his hands heads straight for the little mouth hahah And at the moment the cutest thing is the laughing - Scott is laughing up a storm, when he sees me in the morning when something unexpected happens - when he Daddy makes funny faces - its just so awesome! the other day I came out of the shower and just heard him gurgling so I snuck into the lounge to spy and there was Scott watching the boogie Beebies and laughing - it just made me so happy! He is also starting to roll about with his fat little body haha and he can move his hips like a little Elvis :o)


I spent my first night away from Scott this month as well - it was awful! I had a training and had to spend the night away. So the weekend before I sat there trying to express as much milk as I could and trying to hug and kiss him as much as possible. Then I thought - let's be positive, see it as a full nights sleep but do you think I could sleep? Hell no - I kept waking up thinking I heard him cry - is this to be my future friends and family!! We also used the training to introduce Scott to formula and there I was thinking (and secretly hoping) that he wouldn't drink it and that he would just want his mother ... I had visions of the Mart distraught and tired and Scott screaming and then I wuld glide in all cool and collected, saving the day and being SUPERMOM ... Who was I kidding - the boy was an angel hahaha he drank his bottle and was sweet and relaxed. And after the initial pang of self pity at how easily I could be replaced as a food source I was full of pride again at our clever little boy!

I have also started reading to Scott - and I'm not sure who enjoys it more. Look at his little face man!! He loves it and he will sit on my lap for the entire story- making noises and hitting the pages hahaha in the book above (Who Made me?) he is in love with zebra and will give this high pitched little scream when we get to that page - I just want to eat him up. Sufficed to say that we have the most gorgeous and brilliant baby in the world ;-)

The weather has been hotting up on this side of the world and we took Scott for his first visit to Texel to celebrate Opa's 82nd birthday! The boy's first big trip .. car and ferry to get there and he was so good shame not a squeak out of him the whole 2 hours we were traveling. Mart and I are used to making the trip but were a bit surprised by how much we now had to take along for the little man. I am really looking forward to spending more weekends there this summer - it was such fun - the first time Scott felt grass and lying naked in the sun - hahaha he managed to pee on two towels but it was worth it to see him enjoy the new found freedom! Opa and Oma were also so excited to have him there and he even made the traditional trip to Timmer for coffee and gebak :o) - oh and we hang our heads in shame because we forgot the camera so no pics of the trip BUT we will be taking some next time round.
