Twentyfifth Month of Lior Sent

 

 

As he enters his twentyfifth month on Planet Earth our Sun Toddler gets to enjoy the sun, and an ice cream (row above, left, and right). Meanwhile, we get to enjoy the mess he makes with his ice cream. That is, mom does not enjoy the extra laundry that is involved!
With the weather turning spring-like, the indoor play ground is exchanged for one outside (row above, left, and right). This gives little Lior the opportunity to show his macho side.
The Sent clan has a season pass for the Brakkefort play ground again, where Lior hangs out with his sister Luna and her friend Marijn (row above, left, and right). Lior knows no fear and jumps onto the inflatable bouncer without being afraid that others bump into him (top, left and right). The best thing about having an older sister is that you can just sit back and enjoy the ride while she is doing all the hard work along with her friend (middle, left and right). Going to the play ground with Lior gives those who accompany him quite a work-out as well (bottom, left and right). However, mom does not give the impression that she minds running after and playing with her sweet son.
With the weather turning spring-like, the back yard play ground is also officially open. According to Lior, sand belongs outside instead of inside the sand box (below, left). And he prefers being driven in his tractor instead of riding it (below, right). And what is the best toy in the back yard? The parasol, of course (row below, middle)!
Going shopping with Oma Alie is sure exhausting. Lior falls asleep in his stroller and is not be woken up (row below).
Hip, Hip, Hurray! Ome Martien and Tante Rita celebrate their fiftieth wedding anniversary! Lior decides it is much more fun to hang out in the sand outside than spending time with the guests inside (row below).
Hip, Hip, Hurray! Ome Bas and Tante Laura are the proud parents of Tatum and Giel, a twin brother and sister (left).
Lior and Luna are intrigued by their little cousins (right). Lior is now about the same age as Luna was when Lior was born. Boy, time sure flies!
When Lior visits the Youth Health Bureau, he weighs in at 12.3 kilo (rougly 27.12 US lbs) and measures 87 centimeters (roughly 34.25 inches). He is growing faster than his height-cohort and his weight is exactly average. He passes the various tests with flying colors. Overall, he is praised for being such a happy young man. Of course, mom is very proud of her little boy. He rarely has a "terrible twos" moment.
When mom takes part in a panel discussion in Amsterdam, Lior visits Aafke in Utrecht (row below, left). His second oldest sister takes him to the play ground and enjoys going down the slide with her youngest brother (row below, middle). Her friend Teuni also joins in the fun (row below, right).
Much to Lior's delight, there is a petting zoo next to the pay ground (right). Our young man loooves animals!
After all the fun at the play ground and the petting zoo, it is time to relax at Aafke's apartment with a book and a drink (left).
Lior spends so much energy entertaining Aafke that he falls into a deep sleep in his stroller (right).
Much to Lior's delight, Aafke is a great cook. He gets to eat pancakes and sit on the floor while enjoying his dinner (left). Overall, he has a fun weekend with his sweet sister.

Hip, Hip, Hurray!
It is Queen's Day!

Lior celebrates Queen's Day with Opa Tano and Oma Naatje in Spijk. They have done a wonderful job decorating the bike for the Queen's Day bicycle parade in Spijk (right and below).

Hip, Hip, Hurray!
Twenty-five Months Old!

Upon turning yet another month older, Lior becomes more and more aware of the way in which he can influence his environment! Fortunately, his "terrible two's" are still relatively mild.
