The big build

Yes! We finally uploaded images of the big redecoration of our small home to Flickr. We used the whole of February to change the house from an old and muffy place into our little palace.
The set description is still short and the photos lack good titles, tags and descriptions, but that will be fixed soon.

Check them pics out!

A small step for us, one huge leap for Romeo

Tina called me this morning, I was already at work. "He can walk" she said. "What?" "He can walk and stand all by himself". Romeo could walk before, but always needed our support. Now, for the first time he took some steps without help. Isn't that great!? A real milestone for the little guy. Well done boyo, I am so proud of you! Can't wait to see you do it.
As soon as we have a flick I'll post it here!
[UPDATE, 12th of August] It seems that Tina and I had some miscommunication :-). Romeo can walk, but not entirely by himself. Instead of two hands, he now only needs one hand support. So still a big step, but not a giant leap. Soon we hope to see him walk alone. We'll be back then for sure!

Romeo = 1

Romeo had his birthday last thursday (12th of july). He turned 1! We celebrated it in style: we sang for him in the morning (he loved it) and gave him presents. One of his presents is a huge talking Nijntje (Miffy). Then we took him downstairs where we had decorated the whole living room with serpentines and a lot of balloons. He loves balloons and did not know where to look when he saw them. :-). After a lunch in Alphen centre and an afternoon sleep his grandparents visited us. The day ended with a diner in the local "pancakefarm" with Tina's parents. Romeo had a pancake with raisins, banana and apple. The guy can eat! We all went home well fed and put the guy in bed. It took some time but eventually he fell asleep around nine. A succesful first birthday with still a big party to come!
