Video: Talking and other new habits

Loki has several new habits. He likes to lay on his back and hold his legs straight up, or kick them back and forth. He likes to put his fingers - or entire hand - in his mouth and lick. And he likes to 'talk.' Loki makes cute little babbling vocalizations. Of course, when we get out the camera, he usually stops. This video captures a few moments, although they are far from the best.

The last of the four segments in the video was a surprising moment with Mom. She sneezed, and he laughed. So she starts the video camera and fakes sneezing. He responds, but he is unsure whether to laugh or cry. He makes a laugh sound, but without a smile. We found it to be quite a funny segment.

Now we know for sure, Loki, your mother has gone completely insane. Better get out of the way of that nasty sneeze! Please give her some speaking lessons, for she will turn into a baby herself! ;-)

Aren't you guys a great couple, huh, and where is dad? Hiding or always behind the camera? I wish my husband did that!

Well, have a wonderful day. This video made mine.

Yes, I am an insane person. Will do everything to get a laugh or smile out of my baby! It's me filming all segments! Dad at working or getting ready to go to work!

now to bed for another nap! I hope!

Hihihi, wat lachen zeg. Als jij het hebt over "eten" begint Loki te smakken, toeval of niet? Zo grappig die reacite, moet ik nu lachen of is dit om te huilen? Erg leuk om te zien. Kan niet wachten om jullie te zien! Het gaat komen over een tijdje!!

Loki is adorable!! Ik weet al welk filmpje ik voortaan ga bekijken als ik niet vrolijk ben opgestaan. Hier wordt iedereen toch blij van? :-)

liefs, Naomi

Watching his big, beautiful eyes tracking and laughing at the sneezing has been the best way to start my day. Thank you!! I also like thinking about Lijn's face smiling and making the fake sneezes...hee hee

Lieve familie,
Gisteren viel het geboortekaartje in de bus. Wel heel bijzonder, vooral door de foto('s) die erbij zat(en)! Dan zie je toch dat alle inspanningen niet voor niets geweest zijn en dat Loki een enorme vechter is! Ik hoop dat het met zijn maagje ook weer snel in orde komt. Honger hebben, gaan eten en dan dat brandende zuur is vreselijk, zeker voor zo'n klein ventje....
We wensen jullie het allerbeste en veel sterkte met de verhuizing naar dat prachtige appartement.
Liefs,
Lidy en Theo

About Loki Sky

Loki Sky is a special little man. He was a very early micropreemie, weighing only 610 grams (1 lb, 5 oz) after 24 weeks, 3 days gestation, born to an American Father and a Dutch Mother in Berkeley, California on October 18, 2008.

On January 11, 2009, while still in the hospital NICU, his one kidney stopped working. It was repaired after three surgeries. After spending time in three hospitals in three cities, Loki came home on February 17. He struggled with eating, and then stopped in July, leading to 8 days in the hospital, a failure-to-thrive diagnosis, and a NG feeding tube. On October 10, a minor surgery installed a G feeding tube. Another procedure replaced it with a new one, and then again with a Mic-Key button in Jan. 2010.

In August 2010, he and his parents moved to the Netherlands.
