Naomi and (boy)friend!

Naomi on her feet


Our little girl is growing so fast. She has a pair of strong arms and legs and loves standing tall looking around with those big wise eyes. She is now 4 months and she is getting ready for the next stage which I am sure she'll love...FOOD! Yes she's got all the signs, dribbling, hands in her mouth or anything else thats in her reach (daddy's nose, mama's chin!), waking up in night sometimes (not so good!). After some reassuring advice from family and friends the babyrice is in the cupboard for when the time is right. Can't believe we are getting to the next fase already. Considering her good size and appetite I shouldn't be too surprised!

Naomi's dedication




Last sunday we dedicated Naomi to God. It was a very special day for us and we celebrated with Chris' family. Leonore's family was missed on this day, but we know they were thinking of us and more importantly will always be part of Naomi's life, praying for her and looking after her as also our church family will.
It also reminded us of the meaning of Naomi Annelies which is joy, delight and lovely. We think these are very true! We thank God for our beautiful daughter, what a precious gift she is!

Naomi sings along

giggles

singing and giggles

Naomi is changing so much now, every week we look at her face thats filling out more and those big blue eyes that look into the world so wise and curious. She is becoming a little person and we just love how she is developing her vocal cords (well not always maybe!) She is now singing along to her musical toys adn is giggling when her mummy and daddy make crazy faces!
We have just had our first family holiday in the UK in a holiday lodge in York. We had a lovely time visiting York and enjoying the forrest on our doorstep. It even had a hottub! W live in a beautiful country and we hope to enjoy many more local holidays now!
Naomi is being dedicated to God on sunday during our church meeting and we look forward to committing her to God, giving thanks for our amazing gift that Naomi is! Leonore's family will be missed as we celebrate with chris' family only. We will film it so watch this space.
