Your 11th week of life as depicted in Instagram

Dearest Sona, there is this phone app called Instagram and I use it to take many photos of you (and other things).  This app will likely not exist when you get older, but it is very cool and allows one to upload a photo taken by a 'smartphone', apply a filter to give it an edgy or old-fashioned appearance, and then share with friends via the Internet.

This past week was a busy one with photos of you :-)  Here they are, with a description of what was happening!

In this photo, you were all smiles (as you typically are) and we were on our way to the Hague for a work meeting on Monday morning. Mama landed a consulting project and had to take you to this meeting.  You slept the whole time - thanks!

Here is a distinguished photo of you wearing jeans for the first time.  You are really trying to pull yourself up into a sitting position and so I propped you up like this.  You are very strong for only 11 weeks old and very determined to get up!

Here you are in your crib (which you only take naps in from time to time so far) and you got stuck.  I don't know which happened first - your legs getting stuck and rolling over, or rolling over and getting legs stuck. Anyhow, it definitely shows how active you are!

To end the week, this photo was taken at a wedding in Amstel park in Amsterdam.  You were wearing a beautiful classic dress with little pink flowers, but you cannot see it in this photo.  I am very proud to show you off, hence my beaming smile :-)

And that was your 11th week as represented through Instagram, a (multi-?)billion dollar app(lication) for the phone!

Love,
Mama
