family dinner


last saturday we all had dinner in a Wok restaurant in Amsterdam. With the whole Hubert family. His aunts and uncles, grandparents, nices and nephews...
The family count: 2 Paiva Aranda, 13 Hubert.
Gaizka for the first time in a baby table chair, a little bit too soon, but he (we) managed alright.
We had fun, and Gaizka loved it.

six months old!




Tomorrow is Gaizka six months old. He can roll, and he can eat a baby biscuit. He eats baby food; like apple, carrots, peas, pears, and bananas. He is as happy as always.
And he sleeps now in a new bed! We got the Leander bed, which "grows" with the baby. It is a present from his grandparents Hubert. Thank you opa and oma!

how do you know if your grandfather is happy?

That's very easy.
Gaizka's grandpa Antonio Paiva Reinoso has a peculiar way of expressing his joy and his pride.
When I started my architecture studies at the university in 1985, my father told me that he had told his university students early in the morning that he was very happy and proud that his first son had started at the university the very same day.
When I got my PhD in Utrecht in 2003, my father told me that he had told his post-graduate students that his son was getting a PhD diploma in Holland!
And when Gaizka was born last september, my father told me that he had told his post-graduate students that the day before his dutch grandchild was born.
So, Gaizka, grandpa is very, very happy. You can tell.
