It is a long long time ... papa' was very busy and could not do anything, not even cook for mamma. Poor papa' ... but finally today he had time and let me post something. Yes yes, I am 3.5 months old now and have grown lot lot. See my photo up there ... I have big cheeks like mamma, more hair than papa and blue-gray-green eyes. They say I look like mamma, like papa, like Matteo .... they do not know. But all say 'bellissimo' .... io io of course!!

I like to play .... I like to dress like a little boy with puppies on shirt. And i smile still to everybody ... I look older than I am, like for papa. But why? I am only 7.32kg and 66cm long .... I want to be bigger than papa' !!!

But today is a special day ..... this is why papa' forced himself to find time for my blog .... today I ate my first pappa or potato and carrot mash mamma and papa' prepared for me. I did my best and ate 20g of it. But but .... it feels so strange this thing. I do not know how to eat it. Strange things .... want to see my reactions, see the photos from papa' ... this is the first spoon ...

Do I have to eat this ?????

Let me try again ...

.... yak!!! How can I eat this !!!

Mmmm .... I feel so strange thing in my mouth. Help please .....

.... but actually it is not too bad .....

... maybe it is bad. Basta Basta !!! Stop !!!!

I can't take more ....

Papa' help me please ....

Finally .... finished. Was tasty but now I want to play ... pleeeeaaasseee !!!

I have been in Italy !!!!!

noreply@blogger.com (The Food Traveller) — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 08:42:00 +0000

Yes, about two months and here I am flying all the way to Italy. And going to the very far south, Taranto. All my little friends now ask me how was flying .... well, I noticed no difference. I slept and ate and slept and ate. Only difference I could sleep in mamma's arms for more than two hours!!!!

Mamma and papa' also bought me a second buggy since the Bugaboo was too big to fly. So they gave me a racing buggy from Mc Laren .... I prefer the other, but I had no choice than surrender to the new one for a week.

Once there I was surrounded by the nonno always kissing and making faces and playing .....

... and the nonna always hugging and kissing and singing.

And yes ... they took me to the beach .... I smelt the sea. Only smell, since I am too little still to swim ... but next year I will splash like a fish.

I discovered I love being put the suncream ....

... that the sea in italy is not gray like in Belgium ...

... and that mamma hugs me also in Italy ....

... and also papa', when allowed ...

... and I met a very nice person who gave me nice presents and a new teddy bear. So I had to hug her!!!

So happy to be there. So much playing, seeing, smiling.

And my favorite presents were a nice disney hat (papa' papa' take me to Disneyland pleaseeee) ...

... and the new Teddy Bear or actually Teddy Rabbit.

Ecco la festa / It is party time !!!

Si si, party time. Last friday mamma and papa' have oranized a little party for me. Mamma calls it a baby borrel .. or having people drinking, eating and playing with the baby. With me!! I was the star ... ohh!! so nice nice.And i still wonder what were those strange things in the glasses ... bah! Papa' says i will know later ... sure it was not milk.

There were many big people ... very very big. The were all making strange faces and noises at me. I like it .... all smiling. Nice nice.

But I also met new friends. They seemed all bigger than me, but all nice nice. A bit more patience and I will be able to play with them ... fast fast time. I can't wait.

Among all new friends I saw her .... ooohhhh. Big big black eyes. Dark dark skin. Yes, she must be my special friend !!!

Sigh! She was more interested in eating plastic bags with her papa' ....

... but it was only tactic (papa' says all girls are like this no matter how big they are). But when I realize that it was too late .... I was already angry at her ...

... and I preferred playing with my peter (godfather) Marc ...

... and with my papi (belgian grandfather) ...

... and of course, be hugged by my papa'. Still it was a very nice party .... next time I will be prepared for those big big eyes!

Before I forget. Thanks to Marc for taking so nice photos .... papa' could not wait and he said he did something with them so Marc said he will also do something and put his something here.

Mamma en Ikke

noreply@blogger.com (The Food Traveller) — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 20:21:00 +0000

Si si ... ikke praat nederlands ... I am learning dutch to speak with mama.

Few days go I started to see better and I can now see mama .... so happy to see her, I smile all the time. And I see other things too .... puppies ... bears ... strange moving light from a box they call tivvi. Papa' also .... but today it is all for mama.

Ik zie je graag mama .... eccomi with my mama. Papa' has done us some photos and I want to share share share

And some more ...

I am more than a month old !!

noreply@blogger.com (The Food Traveller) — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 14:42:00 +0000

So papa went away for almost a week and he came back without bringing me anything while mama got something. Not fair papa!!! He promised he tried to find me a baby kimono, but he said all he found were for girls and next time he will try to find me a baby robot .... ohhhh, that would be nice.
Still now I am not happy !

The good thing is that papa was just in time for my 1-month birthday .... and I missed him. I missed his camera too. Yes a want to be a model ... even if papa now complains that his camera is old old ... but still what matters is he subject.
Look how I can pose well ....

I can even pose when I sleep .... you see me here with my new friend Teddy I just started to hug ???

There is one thing mamma does I do not understand ... she puts water on me often. I feel cold ... and cry, but, then, she even puts me in water. I do not understand ... I cry and they still do it. Can somebody explain it to me or to her ???? Please...

Lately I also see things ... or better I move my eyes and I see things not only light. Like a green thing high high on my head that moved and makes strange noise they seem to call music. One day I will grab it myself ....

And finally ... here is some photos my dad did of me with his old camera. As I said I want to be a model but a special one ...making faces and expressions from smiling ....

.... to ooooooohhhhh ....

.... to show who is the boss in the house!

My first trip

noreply@blogger.com (The Food Traveller) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 18:17:00 +0000

Finally my parents have understood I need to go somewhere and they decided to bring me to the belgian coast for a long week-end. Good since there papa has nothing to distract him form me also considering I will miss him for almost a week now. Papaaaaaaaa!!!!! I discovered also how comfortable this other sleeping thing is. They call it maxi-cosi, I call it the sleeping chair. Nice.

I am also starting to educate my parents ... first things first. Open mouth equals give me the pacifier (or ciuccio)!!!

The problem of papa fully concentrated on me is that he starts waving strange big things in my face that he calls lenses. Mmmm ... I do not know. I am confused. To me it looks like a big pacifier (ciuccio). I want to taste it.

But when I try ... here it goes. He picks me up ... oh, papa!!! My favorite bed!!

Mamma is not a bad bed too .... but still I can't take my eyes off papa ... or so I pretend.

In the end, I am happy. Yes they complain I cry and I do cry since they seem not to understand me. But I am happy so I will stay. Just a pity we are already back and that papa will soon leave for a week almost ... oh, I will miss you papa.

Do not believe what papa & mamma say ....

noreply@blogger.com (The Food Traveller) — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 13:21:00 +0000

Do not believe when mamma and papa say that I cry. I do not, I am an angel boy. I love to sleep in my stokke bed so much that I even smile in my sleep.

To be honest I sleep always even on my papa or mamma uncomfortable shoulder. And believe me, they are NOT comfortable. But sacrifices I have to make for my parents to be happy.

I even accept their kisses. I really do not understand what they are. It feels like they are eating me. Strange people. Still, as you can see I do not cry as they claim.

But sometimes, just like papa, I need to make myself heard and respected .....

Eccomi finalmente / Finally I am back

noreply@blogger.com (The Food Traveller) — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 07:09:00 +0000

Finally!! I have asked papa to give me photos to put on my blog for a very long time. Days. And as I am only 12 days old, days is a very very long time. Papa always said he had no time because of me crying or his work or me eating. So I promised him to be a good boy on sunday, if he would give me the photos. So finally, here I am, eccomi. I am Matteo (again).

My birth was rather easy. Mamma did not have to push much since I was really curious to see who was making all those strange noises outside. I was very confused and tired, nevertheless. All my little body was purple. I heard papa is obsessed with photos, but I only realized when I saw him making photos of me after 45 minutes. I tried to cover my face but I was too tired.

I was very happy to meet mamma. I was looking forward to it. So much, that I was born with my eyes open. After feeding and some checks I was very happy to be back with her. There is no better place to sleep than mamma.

During my first day I realized that papa was also a good bed. Strange, when I look at him he seems to have less hair than me. Mmmm ... must be that my sight is not perfect yet.

However, papa lacks something ... milk!!! And when I want milk I make myself heard. I rarely do so, but when it happens they can hear me for a long distance. And papa and mamma runs to me very quickly. Good! Now I know how to get things done for me !!!

Still, eating is very tiring for me. And mamma is so comfortable .....

At a certain moment, the doctor in the hospital said I was yellow. Me, yellow !!! So they put me with some sunglasses under a lamp. I was confused ... if I am yellow why do they put me in a sunbed. But I heard nonno Michele saying it was a anti-sunbed ... and so it was. But when I woke up, my eyes were still so yellow ....

.... then they said I was lazy. So, here I go a second time under the lamp. And finally it was over. They said it would have made me less lazy. But I felt as tired as before. So I slept and this time with a new dress nonna Rosa bought for me. She kept saying in italian I looked like a little little man with it.

After five days, it was time to go home .... ooooo ... so many things here for me. I was excited. Two beds, my own wardrobe, my private pool. I receive at least a massage a day. And so many teddy bears. Some even with music!

And the beds ... they are so comfortable that I felt asleep immediately. Papa and mamma say that I cry sometimes the entire night. They must be having nightmares. These beds are so comfortable I am sure I sleep all time in them.

Did I mention a pool .... yes, I have one. I wanted to use it everyday but the doctor said no. I have a sensitive skin so only every other day. And when that happens I get also a massage from mamma. Nice !!! I do cried when that happens, not because I am cold ... but because I want more.

Unfortunately, I have to admit I am lazy. So lazy that my papa and mamma needs to use also bottles to feed me. And even then I am lazy. Or better I am like papa, I enjoy food. Why should I drink my milk in a few minutes??? I prefer enjoying it in an hour or more. I do not understand why mamma and papa are all worried about it.

Hey, it is time for eating again .... is that mamma coming here? Better stopping writing for now.

By the way, I wrote a lot about me. But who are you? What should I do? Mmmm .... let me think ...

Eccomi, sono Matteo
