Loooong ago


And guess who is adding another year (it´s not me).
 
EIGHT!!!!  She is turning eight years old today - where is the baby gone?

The loudest baby of the area (really the midwife said so, and my, she can still... don´t try her, Ingo is a no-one compared to her, and Ingo is loud!)

She is... amazing!
As little kids are.
 
My shoes look like socks you can do sport in, how come? 
(Why does she look at my shoes?!!!)
 
 
 
And when asking if the to-be-glasses suit me, "yes, oh, you have many earrings!"
- "They are in memory of your Opi. the one you never met..."
- "Yes... I never met Omi, either..."
 
The living end with an "a", Oma, Opa
So sad my parents never met them - and vise versa.

Kids, huh. More clever than many an adult!

The baby is no more!!!
And yes. I take babies only when safely sitting. Never handle me one when I am standing. I broke glasses, vases and all, I don´t wanna add a baby to the list and no. I´m not kidding, I AM clumsy. The Elephant in the China store...


Happy Birthday, J! I did not let you fall... and you gave me many an opportunity!

Henry 🦁


Have a great day! And a wonderful new year.
 
Yes, two posts again, as I also share Toms Signs2!

Babies are cute. I am not comfortable entering the breakable department when shopping.

It's amazing how fast time goes by. Your red shoes look so comfy. The elephant in the china store. 😸 Here the expression is The bull in a china shop. Mythbusters did an experiment to see if a bull in a china shop would create chaos. Surprisingly, the bull caused no damage. 😉

Iris Flavia said...

The Mythbusters really did try that?!!! LOL!
Oh, I miss their show (though, certainly we got everything translated to German and likely missed most jokes hence...

Look at you in that photo. And isn't it funny how babies are suddenly kids? In my case she will turn 31 this month. No way, that can't be possible. And Married too. No I feel sooooo old. I like your shoes too. Happy Wednesday. It's cloudy here. You'd be happy. hugs-Erika

Babies grow so fast, one blink and they're all grown up.

Such a beautiful baby! Now eight years old already! They grow too fast. I have grandchildren in their twenties and one is married, another engaged. The twins will grow just as fast :(

But when I called her yesterday... yep, a kid, LOL.

But a clever one! If I wanna talk to her Daddy, too, she asked!
