crawl

Second day of crawling, a bit wobbly a first but now he's flying around the house and prefers to get into the bathrooms or other places he's not allowed to go to, like the plugs.

Got to DANCE!!

Leah is watching 'Got to dance' and is doing some of her own moves!! :)

flipping pages and getting there!

Our little boy is getting so big and heavy and is eager to get to everything. Not crawling yet but is having a good go at it! Like his sister, he loves to walk while holding your hands. Leah, being the loving big sister, wants to help and has been caught a few times trying to lift him and the other day he fell after she'd picked him up and put him on his tigger ride-along toy- big bump on the head and plenty of tears!

It's been hard...

We've had a bit of a difficult time since Anneli and Vincent left us, Leah has taken it very hard and says she wants to move to Sweden or go on a holiday to see all of her family. Had lots of tantrums again and learned to say no they way Vincent said it when they were here.*sighs* what can you do? Gonna be good to have mum over in march, I'm sure that'll make her happier!

She is also getting fed up with Erik always bulldozing his way through everything and all of our toes in his walker or talking her toys etc as you can see in the video.

This weekend had been crap! Alarm decided to 'die' on us and sound the alarm and we were unable to turn it off, then the taps for the bathtub stopped working- and Micky had to screw the whole thing off and back on and eventually got the damned thing off, and then we've all got the cold, Erik the worst though poor thing! Better now, but now it's my turn. Bah! Too negative now, we're all good, Erik is growing fast and can sit up fine now and is trying to crawl but ends up going backwards. We are also gonna go to see 'Tangled' with Leah of friday, looking forward to it!

ha ha ha!

Christmas

We had a lovely time when Anneli and Vincent was here and Christmas was lovely and stressfree with good food, but I didn't really get to enjoy it until after because I was doing the cooking and felt 'full' already. But I think I've made up for it- have been stuffing myself everyday since! House was so full of life and feels very empty now, we miss you so much!

It's not been that nice after they left, pipes burst and no water for a few days=no heat! thankfully it's 9c+ outside now so house is nice and warm anyways.

christmas preparations!

Loooove Christmas and this one is gonna be great!! So excited!!! Tree is up and beautifully decorated by me and Leah (who put about 3-4 baubles per branch!) The whole room smells lovely!
Little Erik is growing so fast and is walking backwards in his walker and is rolling around on the floor drooling on everything! Leah is simply the BEST! She is so helpful and loves her brother, don't know what I would do without her, or if she was like so many other older siblings who would hurt the little ones. She is quite an artist too- makes portraits and adds touches like necklaces and lots of circles (don't know what they are but don't want to ask in case I offend her)
Have to go now, making pepparkakor!!! Leah said 'I wanna help you make pepparkakor- can I, can I?' so off I go!
