11 months old

Here's a more recent "portrait'... how different do you think I look?

Oct 06 - Greek holidays!

I am enjoying travelling around the world - so many things to see! This picture was taken during our holidays in the Greek island of Rhodes.

Fooling around - exercise!

I have started practising for the 2024 Olympics... what do you think? Swimming (even though to be honest I just like to splash around)? Gymnastics?

World Cup fever!

World Cup fever is all around us, and today I had a very tough test... Portugal played England so I had to use my diplomatic skills to keep daddy and mummy happy!

Reunião de família portuguesa

On holidays in Portugal

I am now venturing into the sun, with my factor 40 suntan block and my hat. My parents showed me Porto, grandma+grandpa's beach place and we travelled for 2 days to Leira and Obidos -I spent a lot of time "bobbing" in front of my daddy and looking at everything... a real tourist.

7 months old - making friends

You can see me here at the creche, along all my older friends - I have been going there since I was 5 months and I'm having a great time there!

I am 71 cm tall and 8.1 kg heavy - well I think I have a good looking figure!

6 months old - studying hard!

As you can see, the only thing that I like more than reading a book is to show off for the camera!

English family reunion

Grand-ma and grand-dad celebrated their 40 year wedding anniversary, and I couldn't miss that, could I? Here we are, where you can also see cousin Lauren and aunt Vicky.

I also went to visit Jim & Caroline up north, which you can see in the next picture.

5 mths old - visits from California!

I am quite flattered to get visits from aunt Helena and uncle Raymond, who came all the way from California to visit me... here's a picture of the 3 of us.

Aren't my eyes beautiful?

Well, I am currently busy making friends and practising on my charming smile, as you can see in the pictures... in the meantime the color of my eyes is changing: from bright blue, to greyish-blue, to greyish-green.

4 months old - back in Brussels

Trip to Greece!

Well, slowly but steadily I am starting to make use of my passport: after having been to Portugal and the UK, I have now spent 10 days in Thessaloniki, seeing most of my Greek family. In the pictures you can see several generations of Sioundas, including mummy, grandma, great-grandma and her brother and sister. By the way, I had my first solid food there!

3 months old - part II

Yeap, I also got visitors from Portugal: grandma, great-aunt Dina and great-grandma!

3 months old - Part I

So I am 3 months old now... I am getting used to the Winter cold in Brussels; and in a fashionable way, as you can see on the picture!

I am also getting quite some visits... I've recently had Grandma and Grandpa over, as you can see.

2 months old

This is an assortment of pictures taken at home - in my rocking chair (making a pause from reading a book to pose for the picture), in my cradle, sitting up holding my head perfectly, and taking a nap in my playpen.

I weigh almost 5kg now and I am 58 cm tall. I smile all the time (well, not as often as crying) and I am very active now, studying everything around me.

New Year's Eve in Brussels

I spent my first New Year's eve in Brussels with mummy, daddy, aunt Claudia and uncle Ricardo. It was nice but freezing cold as you can see...

Grand-ma and grand-dad x 2!

English grandma and grandad below (you can see my cousin Lauren too!), Portuguese grandma and grand dad above.

1st time in England

My first time in England coincided with my first Christmas. As you can see on the left, I had the honor of sitting at the head of the table for Xmas dinner!

I met many of my English relatives and mummy's friends and had the chance to explore mummy's home town, Twyford, and a bit of London too.

PS - Mummy and daddy were very pleased that I slept throughout their shopping sprees.

1st time in Portugal

I had my first flight at the age of 30 days! I behaved extremely well, not giving any hassle to mummy or daddy. The trip was to Porto in Portugal where we attended the wedding of one of daddy's cousins. The weather was beautiful.

It was also the first I saw the sea. Actually mummy made me touch the sand for the first time - real quality sand (at the beach), not sandpit sand, mind you...

Finally, you can see me with proud great-grandma.
