Our baby walks!!!!!!

Since a day or three Gaizka walks on his own!

He started a month ago with two steps, but rather than coordinating himself he threw himself to a couch or to me or to Antonio. But then, 3 days ago, he walked really carfully for 5 or 6 steps.

A day later we got our proof on film:

Gaizka 1 year old !!!!

After a birthday party with some friends, a party at the daycare and last but not least a party with the family, Gaizka is definitely one year old.


For his birthday he got some beautiful presents. Some nice books, a mobile phone,a xylophone, a wooden train, and a babywalker full with wooden blocks. We keep the wooden blocks for next year, but Gaizka really likes to walk with it.


Here we have some pictures of his birthday:

The perfect gift...
Gaizka used everything to walk with; from babygym to blocks, till small toys: Gaizka wanted to walk with it.
Now Gaizka has his walker!


Margreet and her sister during the festivities....


Where is our birthdayboy....?
Oh, he's busy on the phone...........


After a lot of cake and colorful garlands around the livingroom he really enjoys playing with his toys.

one year old

Gaikza is now one year old. He had his little party, his cake, cards, visitors and lots of presents. From the start of the day, until the last minute it was a big special day for him and us.
He got a toy telephone from Margreet and me. He loves it. So, some time soon, he will start making those distance calls to say hello...

Gaikza at the Bijenkorf's restaurant

Sometimes we have lunch at the Bijenkorf. We walk around the city centre, shopping, looking around, having fun. I have a nice sandwich or a strawberry tart, Gaikza has his fruit, sandwich or bottle. Anyway, he always gets a bit of my food... he likes strawberries.

Gaizka and Mila

Mila and Gaizka were born on the same day, in the same hospital. Their mothers, Margreet and Ciska were roommates at the hospital. On those very first hours we realised that Mila and Gaizka were neighbours. Mila and her parents live right across the park where Gaikza plays.

A couple of weeks ago we got to Mila's house for coffee (and cookies, of course). We were there looking at the house, their appartment is for sale and we were looking around to see if it was interesting for us. Margreet loves it! She wants to buy it. But how do we get the money right?

Gaizka at the library

Here's Gaizka in the reading spot at the city library. We are having fun!

Vacation with Gaizka pt. 1

The three of us are on vacation in the southern part of Holland. That's where the boat is, so that's where we are.

Of course our main goal is to go sailing. So far we have not sailed a bit. The weather is fine, but the winds are too strong and for Gaizka that is no fun. So we go to the beach and visit some little villages.

Tomorrow will be our first sailing day.
