Julie and the African hens

Yesterday Julie noticed and reached for the mobile with the African hens -a cool gift from her aunt S who lives in Kenya- which have been hanging in the middle of her room for about three weeks. Julie's becoming more and more aware of her surroundings and her sticky fingers seem to reach everywhere...

...I'm starting to fear the time when her legs will take her everywhere too!

Thank you McG family for all the pieces of advice you gave us regarding child proofing our home during our wonderful week together!

Rise and shine

This morning when I went into Julie's dark bedroom to "see" if she was awake -yes, she'd slept 7 hours- my eyes hadn't aclimatized. I leaned over her entire bed and with a deep concentration I focused my tired eyes on what I thought was her head...

...and at the same time I realized that it was her favorite puppy Chien blanc I was staring at I got a feeling of being observed...

....Julie was laying sideways at the foot of the bed quietly smiling, anticipating that it's finally time for breakfast and with the curious expression on her face: "Mommy didn't you see that I was down here!"

My husband G and I compete to be the first one at her bed in the mornings -yes, even on weekends!- and be showered by her beautiful contagious smile!

Min kompis K…

…lyckades förra veckan tjata sig förbi kö, gästlista och betalning på STUREcompagniet bara för att upptäcka att hennes vänner var på STUREhof. Där dog den kvällens partykänsla :-D!
