Thank you for the cards and gifts in response to our birth announcement! It was Christmas / baby shower / birthday all over again! Loki now has even more beautiful outfits, an angel for his crib, books and stuffed animals. That was quite a wonderful surprise and we are very grateful!
We are still settling into our new apartment, and apologize for the lack of posts.
Loki weighs 11 pounds and 7.6 ounces (5.24 kg). This is still on the small side, even for a former 24 week preemie. But he is gaining weight, slowly but surely.
Loki is also slowly getting a bit easier to manage. He is eating by spoon, breast, a bit by bottle, and sometimes a strange bottle / cup / spoon combination. The food is a mix of breast milk, rice cereal, baby food (prunes, pears, avocados, or peas), and canola oil. Going to sleep is a bit easier, especially now that Loki has rediscovered the pacifier. And it is a bit easier to take him out of the house for a couple hours.

Aaaah, cutie foto's!!
So nice to see photo's, Loki you are a real boy now, not a baby!
Glad to hear your eating and sleeping is little better. Maybe opa Ruud had something to do with that? When he looks at you and is serious, you must be impressed with his eyes:-)
Big hug and all my compliments for your dad and mom. Realise you do have the most lovely parentsXXX Marieke
What a beautiful little boy (note - not baby anymore!) you have. He looks so much like his papa!
Jeetje!! Wat een manneke!!
Wat wordt hij al groot zeg, en wat een mooi koppie. We waren al verliefd, maar nu helemaal.

wat ziet Loki er lief uit en wat lijkt hij ook op opa Ruud!
liefs, naomi
Hoi Loki,
Leuk om je weer te zien op de mooie foto's. Effe knuffe? Groetjes van Jermo Serpenti
Hey Mister Loki, you have become quite a little man indeed! Great to see you like your own reflection in the mirror already. A little self-love won't hurt in life :-)
To me a couple of grams less doesn't make you less huggable really! Auntie Fransje just has to be put in a different room next time so you won't be squeezed too hard (Kathalijn, you know me).
love, Fransje.
Ah, Loki, you are a beautiful and lively boy. And I hadn't seen you with you Papa for a awhile. You look so alike--except I see your Mama's attitude and facial expressions! Such a wonderful blessing to see you looking so healthy and hear you are working on eating and sleeping, little by little, bit by bit.

Ah, al echt een manneke. Wat fijn dat het weer beter gaat. Hoop dat jullie niet nu zelf aan het instorten zijn!
Veel liefs uit een zonovergoten Leusden, ook van mijn lief.

How unbelievably sweet! I wish I could cuddle him and you!
Much love,
Suzanna
I especially like the last 2 photos - it's as if he's saying "Look at me, chillin' on my pillow"!
