Bep's and Peter's stay in Hungary (2nd-15th June)

On the 2nd of June (Tuesday) Daddy wanted to talk to me. He whisperred in my ears that we were going to have 2 guests from the Netherlands: Grandma Beppie and Uncle Peter. First I seemed to be a little bit indifferent, but later on I got quite excited and was really looking forward to their visit in the evening.

They spent 2 weeks

here.

While they were staying at us in the guest house, we did lots of things together. Mummy tried to select several photos which show some of our programmes and activities and illustrate quite well how nice time we spent together in Hungary. So this picture was taken in the car. We drove to Székesfehérvár, where Roland had his school leaving ceremony. I was having my morning nap in the nice air-co car... wearing my new frilly hat, which was bought by Beppie in Slovenia. It was very warm... zonnig en zwoel weer. :-) While my parents were listening to some speeches, Grandma was looking after me.

We took some nice photos... as usual.

Then we went to the Brendon Baby Shop to get me a baby carrier.

Well, it's not that awful any more... We've already used it several times.

After that we visited a famous restaurant (Diófa) in Székesf. to have lunch. As I'm always a good girl, I let everybody eat their lunch in a relaxed way.

I was happy to get home after the tiring morning. I prayed for nice weather for the next day as I wanted to visit the beach in Dunaföldvár.
And it came true. So on Sunday we walked to the beach to swim and sunbathe for the first time this year. Look at my new swimming suit! Guess who it is from. Yes, a fantastic present from Beppie again!!! I'm like a little model in this picture. :-)

I had fun in the baby pool with Daddy and Mummy... The water was nice and cool, crystal clear, ... No, nobody was afraid of getting some kind of infection!

Then I entertained myself on my colourful playing mat. Meanwhile Peter was reading a little bit further.

After that I asked Mummy to sit in the swing together. I enjoyed it so much!

While my parents were swimming, Grandma was looking after me, taking me for a walk, ...

When I wasn't sleeping any more, she played with me with pleasure.

As I got some new toys from Peter and Beppie, I tried to play with them, too. Peter took some nice photos of us. Have a look at them.

Grandma wanted me to sit by myself, so she tried to teach me how to balance with my hands.

Sometimes we went shopping together. :-) We visited the KIKA to buy the curtains, the IKEA to get a billy, ...

Not only my GP, but also my Grandma convinced Mummy to put me in the middle of the bedroom on a big blanket to make me move around. And look what happened when they came to check me. I was in a completely different part of the room. It was the first time I moved that far. (Soon I'll visit Daddy in his office:-))

In this photo I'm watching Tv with Peter.

Later we had lots of fun in the terrace of the guest house.

Beppie also amused me a lot. Look how cute we are in this picture. We can have fun together soon in less than 2 weeks time when we travel to Holland. I think she will be surprised at the progress I have made since she saw me!

Well, you can see in the pictures how I enjoyed the time which I spent with my Grandma and Uncle Peter.

This photo was taken the last night we spent together over a glass of wine and some cakes after Mummy and Daddy had come home from the restaurant where they had a romantic dinner for the first time since I was born. :-)

On Monday morning they had to leave Dunaföldvár. I was a little bit sad...
When they came to say goodbye, I started to cry desperately. Then Mummy gave me a hug and told me that we would meet soon again. :-)

Well, these were some of the things we did together. Of course, I could mention that Grandma helped us with the cleaning, ironing, gardening, altering some clothes and sewing the CURTAINS for the living room.

Anyway, the highlight of their stay at us was the FAMILY WEEKEND in Slovenia. So let's continue the story line with that soon. :-)))

While Daddy was in Poland...

At the end of May Daddy had to travel to Poland to an exhibition, so Mummy decided to stay at grandma in Bicske for some days. On the way there I was a little bit sad, because it was the first time that I wouldn't see my Dad for days. 'Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, ...SATURDAY we'll meet again!!!' I was counting the days as you can see in the picture :-))) At grandma I didn't have a bed; my parents thought I could sleep in the inside of my pushchair like I did it the previous time. But since then I learned how to change my position! Look! I wouldn't say it was extremely comfortable. It was better next to Mummy.

Grandma tried to teach me how to sit properly by myself. I was practising it, but I didn't manage. Anyway, I was only 5 months old at that time. It was much safer and more comfortable in my whipchair. :-) I had some 'retro time' in Bicske. My Mum found my brothers' old pushchair in the cellar; grandma cleaned it and I had to try it... Oh, my God! It was small, hard, draughty, not to mention the lack of suspension. They didn't dare to take me for a walk in it!

Then they made me try on some of Roli's onesies... If only Daddy had saved me!!! I felt awful!!!

After that I can appreciate my beautiful clothes even more. :-)

Well, nice things also happened to me in Bicske. It can be seen in the photos that I had lots of fun while Daddy was working hard in Poland.

When I got tired, I had a nap on the sofa in the living room.

Then I played with Mummy, I did some wrestling with the giraffe, I had fun with the babygym, so I wasn't bored at all.

Look! I could manage without Daddy, because somebody always entertained me. Ok, sometimes I missed him a lot... In Bicske I tried to eat my first solid dish, the mashed potatoes. Do you think I liked it??? Not at all! Mummy's milk is much more delicious. Anyway, I'll have it for a long time.

When it was bathing time, I wanted to have Daddy next to me. Grandma did her best, but I feel safer being in Daddy's big hands. And I love listening to his Limburg!

My brothers were with us at the weekend, too. They were very happy to see me again.

Here we are together. :-)

When Daddy arrived in Bicske on Friday evening, I had already been sleeping for a while upstairs.
Finally we met on Saturday morning. You cannot imagine how happy I was. 3 days without him.

On Saturday evening we drove back to Dunaföldvár. It was nice to be at home... I missed my room, my bathtub, my bed with the toys, ...

I had a bath with Daddy and the ducks, then I had my 'dinner' and went to bed.
