Today I held for the first time my little granddaughter Lorena in my hands.
My daughter in law and my son gave her the names Lorena Ivana Suzanna Angelina.
All first letters of the names make the name Lisa, which is the first name of my mother
and Lorena’s great-grandmother.
My little pretty girl has been born as a Sunday Child at the 15th of May 0.37 a.m.
She weights 4500 grams and is 52 cm tall or 20,47 inches.
As a proud and thankful granddad, I show her today to you and the world
Congratulations on being a granddad. I know from your comment that she will be 3 years old in May. Ben, I know that you must be a great and loving granddad. There is so much love in your images on AW. Blessings to you and family.
Artist Reply: Indeed she will be soon 3, but she is a child that is far mature to her age. It's Always great when I visit them for a few days. As children are, they learn quick, but I was amazed that she could understand some English words and even count in English.
Artist Reply: Yes it is. It is Always nice to see a baby this way,
but she is getting 3 years this may and has become a big girl. It is also nice that she counts aswell in Dutch as in English. Also her answers are sometimes English. This way it is funny to see how quick our next generation learns.
CONGRATS !!!!! and WELCOME to Lorena .... who is already under the protection of the Eiffel Tower !!!
Artist Reply: Thank you Marie-Claire. It was nice to see how a child grows in things to do in a year. Walking, eating by herself... It is everytime again the myrical of a human being, to see the progression in a short time
What a beautiful granddaughter, Ben! She has the name of my daughter! :)
Artist Reply: Yes indeed she wares that name, when you get all first letters of her name together. Lorena has this way a name which relates to her great-grandmother. I will see her in two months again to celebrate her first birthday :) How fast time does run.
