Engaged!!

We are engaged!!

Visit from mormor!

Mormor was here to see us and it was great to see her and have her here. Leah was in exstacy and stayed withing 2 feet of her for the first few days and would not stop talk. It was 'mormor, mormor!!' and lots of swenglish going on- love it! It was really nice to have mom here and she helped out alot and I could take naps and relax a bit! Can see the appeal with a nanny now- if I could afford it I'd probably hire one :)

Thanks again mom, it was great having you here- we love you!

August pics

We went to Michel's friends wedding in August and it was lovely- beautiful setting and ceremony. Good company and lots of laughs. Erik stayed asleep almost the whole time except for when eating. Everybody was marveling at how good he was, which he is. He loves his grubb and his sleep! But I think that Leah was the one who enjoyed herself the most- was a few other girls there and they played non-stop from 2 in the afternoon 'til 10.30 at night, and yes she was exhausted to the point of the angry cry but could fall asleep in 2 seconds! Lots of fun- and we stayed the night, tried to get some nice pics of all of us but Micky's friend must have been more hungover than he looked cause the few pics he took was not on the camera, must have pressed it lightly thinking he took some- great photographer! :)

We are also enjoying Anna and Sasha's company before the move back home- Leah and Sasha are fighting like cats and dogs one minute to give each other hugs and kisses and holding hands the next!! We are gonna miss them!

Itchy gums?

Erik sure does like his hands and will sometimes spit out the dummy in order to gnaw at his fingers/hand and has at a few occasions gotten it too far in and made himself retch!

pick n' mix

We haven't done much- but somehow there's no time to do anything :) It was Les' birthday on the 15Th (same as Chiquita's!) and we went over for coffee and cake, but first we had to leave cause Leah wanted to be alone with Farfar and sent us away.

Erik is growing and getting very strong and likes to 'stand' up not 'talking' yet though but he's noisy enough so we can wait. He still has a very gentle nature and likes to eat and sleep but now he also wants to be entertained and likes his gym or windows, or lamps!

We are all feeling good and it is getting easier every day, but I might start to give more bottles now and start to cut down on breastfeeding. Someone asked me if I was feeding him myself and I'm like 'yeah off course I am' (not like I have a nanny) but that was their way of asking if I was breastfeeding him...

You don't love me

Last night I was giving Leah a bath and said:
-'I love you, you know that right?'
-'No'.
-'What do you mean no?'
-'I don't think you love me anymore'.

Well I don't think I need to tell you but this broke my heart and as I am still very emotionell I broke out in tears yet again while trying to convince this stubborn little girl that I do love her and always will. Honestly think she said it just to see how I would react though but it still hurt.

Noisy Erik
