Tobias goes USA!

Tobias and Lisaare in the USA. They left last saturday for a two week trip. First they are staying in Virginia for a week. Then they fly to Texas, to Nonny. I have talked to them twice so far and they seem to be having a good time. The main purpose for going to Virginia is to visit Lisa's friends. So, they have been on the road a lot and staying at different houses of different friends a lot. Tobias seems to be fine with that although he has had a hard time sleeping for a few nights (probably jet-lag?).

Anyway, last night they called again and mommy and I had a nice conversation realizing how much we miss each other. Of course I was happy to hear that because I miss both of them a lot too... it is kind of quiet without them. But at the same time I know they are having a good time and are enjoying themselves, so I am glad for that too. Not 5 minutes after we hung up the phone it rang again. It was Lisa and she said that she forgot to tell me that Tobias is now pointing at stuff and saying "dit" and "dat" (dutch for "this" and "that" respectively). Also, on the phone I heard him say "papa" (which he had been doing for about two weeks now...). I guess sounds are turning into words.... cool!

Today one of Lisa's friends sent me a bunch of pictures Lisa took on their trip so far. It was hard to pick one for this post because there are so many and so many good ones. I did particularly like this one though, as I know how much Tobias loves reading and how much fun it is to read to Tobias. Apparently, I am not the only one who feels that way because this is Katie reading to Tobias. It looks like they are both enjoying it...
