Leah snuggles with Erik

Erik gets two injections and Leah gets a dress!

Today we went to the Dr's for Erik's second vaccination, he was very tired and had to be woken up for the whole thing, he cried less this time (thank God!) and was instantly soothed by the bottle and then fell asleep for a few hours...
We went shopping afterwards and I found this beautiful dress for Leah- supposed to be for Christmas but try to keep it away from Leah!!!

Big boy- big girl!

Leah's been going to nursery school for a week now and looooves it- only wish they kept the kids for longer like in Sweden, but I'll take anything! She is a sweetheart and always want to please us and tries her very best to help and Erik gives her his biggest brightest smiles! She's learning some very nice songs which she sings with gusto!

Erik himself is an angel- eats and sleeps! He even sleeps from 10 (after bottle) 'til 4-4.30 anf then to about 8am!! I am thrilled! He likes to sit up and for us to do silly songs/voices and tries so very hard to talk and manages sometimes to make a sound. He very rarely cries.

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!
