Santi's story
Our little Santi came into the world on January 10, 2025, at 2:52 a.m. in Oldenburg, Germany—two weeks earlier than expected!
He weighed 2.8 kg and measured 52 cm.
Almost 10 months
Today, at almost 10 months old, he is already crawling, has 4 little teeth, and never ceases to amaze us with his cuteness. At home we call him “Chanti baby,” “Chanto panto,” “Chatsi patzi,” “little prince,” or “Dicky (chubby).” He loves to smile at everyone and brighten their day.
Parents
We are Pilar (Pily), Mexican, and Arne, German. We met in South Africa in December 2018, started a relationship across continents, and got married in July 2022. Now our home is in Cologne, Germany, and we are looking forward to celebrating this special day in Mexico.
Man looks at what is before his eyes, but the Lord looks at the heart.
Samuel 16:7
