Busy busy

It feels like it's been a wee bit crazy lately. But it is probably just me getting stressed for no reason as usual. Anyway. Since last we've celebrated Midsummer with my cousin and her family. For once the weather was pretty good and we had a great day with them. Elias especially enjoyed telling Leonard off for various things. He is such a little police at the moment. "No Leonard, don't throw sand outside the sandbox. Now I will get angry!"

On Sunday we made a trip to the beach. It was beautiful and I think Elias really enjoyed it. Yesterday I had another appointment with the chiropractor and tomorrow morning Alice is having her ears checked up. Somehow we (I) have also managed to do loads of washing and hopefully we will manage to pack everything tomorrow. I think there might be one or two shops where we're going and I might just have to make a visit there. Not that I want to, oh no, but if we have forgotten something I just might have to go. Poor me. And who knows, maybe some jeans will find me in the process too...

Alice is sitting fairly well at the moment but not well enough to be left on her own.

More pictures are in the May&June album.

Eating

It's not always that easy to feed Alice...

Often she just wants to practise flying instead,

toys taste better than food,

and it's difficult to find the mouth

Lucky grandma Inger was here to get the job done properly!

(At the moment she usually eats a bit of solid food for lunch. It's quite funny to watch her reaction to the first spoonful, she usually look very disgusted. In the evening she has a portion of porridge as well, which, apart from fruit, is her favourite.)

Roll over

On Tuesday Alice turned over from back to front twice and since then she has mastered this new skill completely. When we put her down on her back it usually only takes a few seconds and then she has turned over to her front. She has rolled from front to back once but I think that was more of an accident because she was on a slope...

Sideways

Today Alice turned over to her side for the first time...

Party report

On Saturday we held the party for Elias. In all 5 of his friends were invited and that was more than enough ;-)

These two girls are in the same group as Elias at nursery. The girl in red is Elias "best friend" at the moment. Every day when I pick him up they play together. It is very sweet.


Fishing for party bags was popular...



The party lasted two hours and Elias was pretty exhausted at the end. I guess it didn't really help that he woke up at 3.30 am in the morning. He had a 2 hour sleep mid day but still...

5 months

I can't believe how fast time is going. Elias is 3 years old and Alice 5 months already. It looks like she is getting close to turning over from back to front and she likes to sit up (supported). We started giving her a bit of solid food and it went pretty well, but after she started taking the antibiotics her stomach has bin a bit upset and she doesn't want anything but her milk.

3 years

On Friday morning we waited for Elias to finish singing and then we went in singing Happy Birthday. He wasn't quite as thrilled as I had hoped... After getting a muffin he cheered up though..


After breakfast he got some presents which he of course liked. While he was at nursery David (off sick form work) started building the car park we got for Elias.



I was a bit worried for a while but we actually managed to get it together. And he seems to love it!
