Happy New Year 2002
Amsterdammers celebrated as they usually do -- fireworks.
These are personal (not municipal) fireworks, and there were displays
like this every 100 meters or so everywhere in the city for
several hours before and after midnight.

A big kiss for the baby in the mirror. |
|
|
|
Do you think they're related? |
|
|
|
_Definitely_! :-) |
|
|
|
|
|
Thijs has been practicing sitting up on his own. |
|
|
|
It's a lot of fun |
|
|
|
"Hi Dad!" |
|
|
|
|
|
The bed is fun because it's nice and soft. |
|
|
|
And we can play with Mommy!
"Eskimo kisses!" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We're getting a bit old for the gym, but playing with it while sitting keeps it a _little_ interesting for now. |
|
|
|
Now _books_ are fun! |
|
|
|
"Which one should I eat?" |

We made a quick trip to Köln, so Thea could meet the American Women's Club. The hotel gave us a great crib, and Thijs slept like... well... a baby. |
|
|
|
When he wasn't sleeping in the crib, he liked to just stand and look around. It's much more stable than his gym, so it's easy to stand... |
|
|
|
...and it tastes good, too. |
|
|
|
|
|
Here's our hotel from the outside -- Thea & Thijs are in the balcony window. |
|
|
|
Wave hello! |
|
|
|
On the train to and from Köln, we used the special compartment reserved for people travelling with babies. It was very nice, clean and comfortable. |

What a happy little guy! |
|
|
|
Remember when he seemed so tiny in his Moses basket? Not anymore! |
|
|
|
"I'm bigger than Daddy!" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you give him something to hold onto, Thijs tries to walk (actually, he's off like a shot). |
|
|
|
He's a bit wobbly still, but he learns so fast that it's scary! |
|
|
|
He's already pretty good at heading for whatever interests him. |

|
Thea's friend Kyna came over with her daughter Nyah for a visit. |
|
|
|
Thijs & Nyah were due on the same day, but Thijs was early and is a few days older. |
|
|
|
Nyah came over to test out the Tripp-Trapp highchair. |
|
|
|
|
|
Thijs thought it was interesting to see another baby in the highchair. |
|
|
|
Nyah liked the chair and sat well in it, so she ended up with one. |
|
|
|
A few days later, Thea's friend Karen came to Amsterdam for the weekend. |

We had our seven month visit to the Consultatiebureau today. Here
are the numbers:
| Weight: |
7700g |
(17 lbs) |
| Length: |
69.5cm |
27-3/8" |
| Head Circumference: |
44.7cm |
17-1/2" |
His length is right on track, his weight is a bit low -- he's a lean, mean,
walkin' machine:-).
