More Milk

A couple of visitors...

Milla already hat a couple of visitors, both at the hospital as well as at home. Early visitors included Marjoleine, Nico, Karen and Petra, but we also had some this week-end: Alex and Nathan, who were here on Friday on a stop-over in NYC after their year-long world tour; and my aunt Tanni from D.C. who was here yesterday. As usual, there were gifts, for Milla. I guess that is the new way: it's all about her now, and I better get used to the art of selflessness.

Alex looks quite comfortable with Milla...


... while Nathan was happy just observing the happening...

Milk Passion

The favorite pass-time (when awake) is all about milk and mommy...

The favorite spot for a nap...

... is the day-bed in the lounge corner of the living room.


Daddy's chest is however a good alternative for an afternoon nap, too.

Coming Home

August 15, Day 4. Maike and Milla are discharged from the hospital. Milla gets the benefit of mandatory special transport, a car seat... she is so small in it!!!


Soon after arriving home she gets to test her new bassinet for the first time...


...and a couple of minutes later, she looks happy enough in it and is blissfully asleep.
