Same Same, but different

Same Seat, Same Child!

I can't believe how much she has grown in just under 4 months. When you look at the position of the head compared to the yellow and white print on the seat you get a pretty good idea of how much she's grown.

Zelfde stoeltje, zelfde kind!

Het is moeilijk voor te stellen hoeveel ze is gegroeid in de laatste 4 maanden. Als je naar de positie van het hoofd kijkt in vergelijking met de geel met witte sticker op het zitje krijgt je een aardig idee van hoe snel ze gegroeid is.

Manicure?

How spoiled can you get?

Jan Update

Savita turned over yesterday for the first time and we both missed it. Today we've been keeping an eye on her and she of course decided that there was no need to turn today.

Aside for turning over, she is laughing a lot, she is trying to sit, and is trying to use her legs more.

Gisteren is Savita voor het eerst ongedraaid en we hebben het beiden gemist. Vandaag hebben we haar zoveel mogelijk in de gaten gehouden en natuurlijk vond Savita dat er vandaag geen reden tot omdraaien was.

Buiten het zich omdraaien, lacht ze veel, probeert ze te zitten, en gebruiktze haar benen veel meer.

I don't know where she's getting this....

To feed or not to feed?

Thu was wondering if our daughter ate enough the other day. I'd say - after seeing this picture - that our daughter eats more than enough!

Camping

Camped out on the beach all day. Savita was a dream as always.

3 Months and Merry Xmas

Savita just turned 3 months on the 17th. 3 Months! I am still amazed at the speed at which she grows and learns new things everyday. She graduated to # 4 diapers today. These have Garfield on them, how cool!?

Before we forget. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Enough Attention?

We're wondering if our daughter gets enough attention.

We vroegen ons af of onze dochter wel genoeg aandacht krijgt.

Savita in Cognito

Little Buddha?

Here's princess Savita getting ready for her bath in the morning. Note the little towel under her bum, because she's been known to pee on her parents whenever she gets the chance.

Pasport etc.

We put in the application for a pasport for Savita yesterday, that way she can travel with us when we attend the wedding of uncle Kong and aunt Sheila in March and the Aniversary of Opa and Omi in July. We think she's too young to stay home by herself yet. Her Social Security Card is on the way already, so she should be able to start working soon to pay for her trips to Texas and Holland.

For Social Security purposes our daughter is considered "Caucasian" by the way, there was no "Other", "Eurasian", "Vutch", "Vietlander", or "Nethercan" box on the paperwork. Since Thu chose Caucasian for the SS card, I think we might have gone with "Asian" on the pasport paperwork, that'll confuse them! Unbelievable though that they haven't figured something out for mixed or the more PC biracial children.

We hebben gisteren Savita's paspoort aangevraagt, dan kan ze met ons mee reizen naar Oom Kong's en Tante Sheila's trouwerij in Maart en Opa en Omi's 40 jarig huwlijks feest in Juli. We vinden haar nog te jong om alleen thuis te blijven. Haar fiscale nummer (ik weet niet meer hoe je dat ook al weer noemt in het Nederlands) is onderweg dwz dat ze binnenkort kan gaan beginnen met werken en dus haar eigen reis kan betalen naar Texas en Holland.

Volgens de Sociale Zekerheid is onze dochter trouwens "Blank", er was geen "Andere", Eurasiaat", "Vutch", "Vietlander", of "Nederkaan" vakje. Omdat Thu blank heeft gekozen voor de SZ kaart, hebben we volgens mij "Aziatisch" gekozen voor het paspoort, dat zal ze verwarren! Ongelooflijk dat ze daar nog steeds niks op hebben bedacht voor gemengde kinderen.

Don't drink and Drive!
