It was so good that I couldn't stop laughing...

I spent 12 days in a hospital - 7 days waiting for Azamat to come and 5 days after he was born. This is what i saw from my hospital window every day:)

This is our everyday guest - a little squirrel that would come to our balcony at 10:00am and take her portion of bananas or cookies that we would prepare for her. She was a delight to watch and wasn't scared of us at all:)

Today Azamat is 16 days old:) The pictures above and below were taken last night after he had taken his bath... You can see how happy he is to be washed:)

This is how he looked few minutes after he was born - all swallen and surprised to be in a new world. Picture taked by his tatay.

And these pictures are from day before when he turned 14 days old:)

10 days

me and my dear Tatay!

We make funny sounds together we make funny faces together!
he loves me!

i feel so good sleeping on his belly!
and love holding him...

Our son Azamat Kakenov Daumar was born on 14 December at 23:55. His weight was 2900gr and he is 52 cm long:) It was a natural birth, we are out of hospital and are all very happy. Cannot believe how we could live wthout him all this time. Life has become different in all its meanings!!!

Kevin was in Kazakhstan for few days and paid us a visit. We had a great evening with him, Zeinab and our family
Corinne sent us some candies through her husband, so yum, thank you Corinne!
