Spring weather

2012-02-15T21:56:00.000Z

I'm probably jinxing it now but we had spring weather today. Sunshine and at least 10 degrees if not more in the sun.

Sonja had to have some immunisation so tears. ;(

Spend some time in the library today where I got told off twice: on the phone and then letting skw play outside toilets. What's the big deal?!??

She is taking more and more steps now!!! Maybe I will need to go and buy outdoor shoes for her soon.

Cafe time

2012-02-14T09:11:00.001Z

Cleaner at house, us in cafe!!!

Strike a pose

2012-02-13T09:05:00.001Z

She slept the whole evening and night!!! Ok, she has done it before but it feels like a long time ago. Maybe her cold is getting better after almost 3 months.

Why is it?

2012-02-10T16:01:00.000Z

On my "day off" I applied for 2 jobs and you won't believe it a recruiter called back and will forward my cv. And what happens then?? I get all sad (after being happy) as I can't think of being away from skw 5 days a week!!! She is only 13 months. Oh, but still not sure I'll get an interview so maybe I should worry about it later.

Time to pick up skw from nursery soon!

First steps and semla

2012-02-08T22:12:00.001Z

Skw took her first few steps today!!! And we had semla as a snack today. She liked it!

Oh, some old photos of me. Do we look alike??

Topless morning

2012-02-08T08:25:00.000Z

Played with water at breakfast so top was taken off!!

Nat and Scott just had a baby boy!!! Can't wait to see a pic of him. Another little cousin! Congratulations!!!

Tuesday

2012-01-31T08:54:00.000Z

Another outfit from my time!! And of course on the phone!

Uncoordinated

2012-01-30T11:43:00.000Z

What do you mean uncoordinated?!? It is all matching, or?!

I used to wear the dress when I was little but she gets so dirty so she also got to wear extra leggings.

Friday

2012-01-27T08:02:00.001Z

We have to continue with the antibiotics so no nursery today. We started the day at 6am after a 2.30am wake up (requesting her drink/välling).

1 year old

2012-01-26T14:24:00.000Z

And enjoying business. What a shame she won't remember it...

I've missed you

2012-01-26T14:23:00.000Z

She is back with Kevin!!!'

First class lounge

2012-01-25T15:58:00.000Z

Reading time and looking out on the pleb!

Last day in thailand

2012-01-25T02:25:00.000Z

We have been up since 6am.... Skw better now so we are allowed to fly home.

Feeding the fishes

2012-01-23T02:56:00.000Z

Sleep position?!?

2012-01-20T16:15:00.000Z

Weird?!?

Lunch with lady in pink

2012-01-19T06:41:00.000Z

New friend

2012-01-19T02:50:00.000Z

I'll do what you do!

My sleep, her sleep

2012-01-18T04:38:00.000Z

We both got a rest today!

More sand

2012-01-17T08:59:00.000Z

Sand everywhere and I tried to rinse off with my iPhone in my pocket. Now getting error messages every 2 seconds. so stupid of me...

And she ate sand too so let's see how that goes!

Swimming and sunbaking

2012-01-15T10:05:00.000Z

Some pool time today. And I've booked my girls weekend to Barcelona!!!

Sand

2012-01-14T10:44:00.000Z

I think I like it!

Ooohhh!!

2012-01-14T09:10:00.000Z

And one of the pools in the background.

Another day

2012-01-14T08:57:00.000Z

In Thailand. We are sooo enjoying it. Apart from getting ripped off my people, like my pedicure was twice as much as planned as they also charged for a manicure (even if I didn't asked for it and only got fingerers dipped in water and nails filed...). Ok didn't cost much so who cares...

We are here!!!!

2012-01-12T06:36:00.000Z

Long journey, jet lag, up playing during the night but we made breakfast this morning!

From birthday

2011-12-31T11:15:00.000Z

Birthday girl wore a Korean dress (for about 5 mins) on her birthday!! Very cute.

On demand

2011-12-31T11:14:00.000Z

Claps hands on demand now!!!

Geggamoja

2011-12-21T20:36:00.000Z

Therapy for me but I let her make a mess today!!! She loved it!

Morning

2011-12-21T10:07:00.000Z

From Sweden!

At heathrow

2011-12-18T11:43:00.000Z

And we got to borrow a stroller!!! :)

Handbag

2011-12-15T18:10:00.000Z

Work that bag, girl!!!

Rain, wind and cold

2011-12-14T18:06:00.001Z

Weather is not cosy. But I think snow would make it worse.

Today we have spent most of the time at home apart from a tesco visit and an hour at sheen's to let the girls play a little.

Tomorrow, hospital (nurse and dr) visit for me and SKW gets to tag along.

I'm on a diet!

2011-12-13T15:26:00.000Z

Or not

Empty

2011-12-08T15:46:00.001Z

SKW has emptied the box and tried it all...envelopes, clips, pens, ruler you name it!!!

Storm outside!!! Crazy.

Xmas photos

2011-12-07T21:28:00.000Z

Yep, we tried again today and no success yet.

On the kind of good side, the boiler was fixed today but they showed up at 8pm... Woke up sonja (well, she would have woken up anyway). But house is now warm again!!!!

Looking at a house in morningside tomorrow and found a nice place in town (but unknown price so maybe not).

Xmas tree

2011-12-07T08:41:00.000Z

I want to reach that Xmas tree!!! On my toes - check, arms out - check BUT still can't reach...

Berries in December

2011-12-05T09:37:00.000Z

Lucky girl!! And now stealing my croissant.

Still cold

2011-12-05T09:04:00.000Z

Some part missing that they need to find/order. Nice with fire on but oh so dangerous with SKW. I think we will go out, same temperature there... Maybe hang out in tesco or some other shop until we have to come home for lunch.

Boiler still broken

2011-12-04T15:45:00.000Z

So this is what SKW wears indoors at the moment. Fire is on but it takes time to heat up and will probably not make the house warm.. They should be here tomorrow to fix it.

Detour

2011-12-04T15:44:00.000Z

M90 closed due to accident and this is what the small roads looked like. Kind of Xmas feeling....

Reading before

2011-12-02T08:33:00.001Z

We go to nursery today.

Mirror

2011-12-02T08:32:00.000Z

Pics in the morning. Cold today... Winter is coming.

Hair accessory

2011-11-30T08:35:00.000Z

She hasn't taken it off yet....

The day after

2011-11-25T08:43:00.000Z

The accident where she got a "fläskläpp" (swollen lip). Poor little one. Today temperature is down so I'm hoping she will be back to normal soon.

Sick

2011-11-24T09:49:00.001Z

SKW is sick, my tummy bug plus cough, snotty nose and fever. Not fun. She has decided to sleep on my tummy... Cute but not much else I can do than acting pillow!!!

On my own please

2011-11-22T12:16:00.000Z

Now I can eat my ellas kitchen on my own!!!

Swimming

2011-11-21T22:14:00.000Z

We went swimming on Sunday and SKW wore her new outfit and the armbands. I was sitting on the side feeling as bad as I looked. But better now.

Toys toys toys

2011-11-21T22:12:00.000Z

She likes her toys. The doll is called Kevin!! Not that she knows that...

Here I come...

2011-11-21T22:11:00.000Z

A day at coffee angel!! And yes, her hands were black after playing on the floor in a cafe.

It's been quiet here as I have been feeling ill for the last week. I'm hoping that SKW and MW are not getting what I had. Not nice.

Rusk

2011-11-14T09:42:00.001Z

SKW loves this thing called a rusk (Heinz). Not very health but she is sooo happy when she gets one. Laughing and nibbling on it for ages.

Today we are off to Glasgow to buy a rearfacing carseat for SKW and see a little of Glasgow (shops??? I don't think so when going with MW).

Apples apples apples

2011-11-08T17:31:00.000Z

It's been quiet for a while but we are back!!

We had 5 great days with mum and victor. Sightseeing, lunches and shopping.

Then off to Dundee Saturday to Sunday.

This week we have started settling in at nursery and the aim is one (kind of) full day a week. Today SKW was there for an hour on her own.

Apart from that: colds is messing with us!!!

Standing up and apples are on the agenda at the moment!

Today in pics

2011-10-27T15:15:00.000+01:00

Started with yoga
Then crying lunch with Julie (no pic)
Sleeping in the beautiful botanics
And then snacking before play time!!!

Important

2011-10-26T18:44:00.000+01:00

Two people had a meeting (about how to improve some baby show or something) and SKW decided to join them.

So correct

2011-10-26T18:43:00.001+01:00

Little climber

2011-10-26T11:18:00.001+01:00

Ah, everything can be used as stand up help!!!

Nothing planned for today but will probably go to the botanics again in the afternoon as a good place for her to hang out with some other kids.

Mormor and victor arrive on Sunday!!!

Time to play a little before lunch.

Sweetheart

2011-10-24T09:39:00.001+01:00

She slept until 7.30 and is so cuddly this morning!!!

Out and about

2011-10-23T13:05:00.001+01:00

On daddy's shoulders in a beautiful jacket from aunty nat (and scott and Lucas). Today - swimming in the afternoon.

Today we are dressed in pop stripes top to toe.

Back

2011-10-01T23:10:00.001+01:00

From a couple of lovely days in London. Depressing to be back with weather like this, but only a week until SKW and I go to Stockholm.

Did some shopping in London. Got some nice stuff!!!

Music

2011-09-29T06:55:00.001+01:00

After a classical concert which SKW loved she decide to try herself.

Up up up

2011-09-26T22:05:00.001+01:00

Starting to climb on anything I can find. And hurting myself... Argh!!!

Afternoon walk

2011-09-26T22:04:00.001+01:00

It looks colder than it is...

We had a lovely spa day today. A girl came and did massages and treatments by the pool. Ahhh, could live like this all the time.

Tomorrow = Palma! :)

Teeth

2011-09-17T19:49:00.000+01:00

My first tooth came today!!!! Well, not mine but SKW's.

Lunch entertainment!

2011-09-12T21:45:00.000+01:00

Sun sun sun!!! Lovely here. Still white legs but working on it. I guess it takes time to get colour on something that hasn't seen the sun for years.

In action

2011-09-11T11:56:00.000+01:00

White beach whale in action!!!

Business class

2011-09-10T14:35:00.001+01:00

SKW travelled business to Spain and we did half seats each. Hm, is this the future??

Hello magazine!!!

Feeding herself

2011-09-06T20:36:00.000+01:00

We tried some "self-feeding" today = lots of mess!!! But also lots of fun. Favourite is the freshly baked bread we have at home!

After a long (slow) walk we are having a dirty afternoon with a yummy cupcake!!!!

Oops

2011-09-04T10:57:00.001+01:00

Forgot to say it is a dragon called happy (the St George dragon) , so happy Scott it is.

Skw and scotty

2011-09-04T10:54:00.000+01:00

SKW has a new friend; scotty dressed in the Robertson tartan. Thank you Siv!!!

Where is

2011-08-31T15:57:00.000+01:00

My sunshine and summer temperatures?

Seriously

2011-08-31T15:55:00.001+01:00

Cold here. :(

The most fun place at home

2011-08-31T15:54:00.000+01:00

Is the sofa table...

Sleeping

2011-08-31T15:53:00.001+01:00

Autumn cold here...

Pretty face

2011-08-25T20:53:00.001+01:00

My driving is getting worse...stalling now every time and still not checking those mirrors or signalling.... How can I get worse?!?!

Coffee angel

2011-08-24T14:55:00.000+01:00

Out with me and mormor at coffee angel.

All night

2011-08-22T07:16:00.001+01:00

SKW woke up at 6.50 this morning, yes!!!! Please let this continue.

Sunday

2011-08-21T21:43:00.000+01:00

We went swimming today!! After me flipping out due to many reasons.

Mum (mormor) is here on Tuesday and we can't wait to have her here. I'm hoping for a little sunshine.

Love

2011-08-21T11:14:00.001+01:00

The flat white at coffee angel! Already finished as u can see in the photo.

Or another animal

2011-08-17T20:27:00.001+01:00

Or maybe on of these??? On a beautiful sunny day it is hard to beat the botanics here in Edinburgh.

Monkeys

2011-08-17T20:25:00.001+01:00

There are lots of animals in the botanics. Which one is your favourite? Could we have one of these in SKW's room?

What a day

2011-08-16T18:06:00.001+01:00

I'm so tired. Not that we have done that much but its been one of those days: crying, very little sleep and headache. I see why babies are cute or a lot of them would be "return to sender".

Sunshine tomorrow so we can be out and about again.

I think I like toast!

2011-08-15T12:08:00.000+01:00

With a little butter to make it soggy.

Newcastle

2011-08-13T23:06:00.000+01:00

Left the lakes and the rain yesterday evening. Now at Phil and soph's.

Been lovely to be away but I miss our place now.

Photo from the train today on our way to an unsuccessful shopping trip... I need some new clothes!!!

Happy little girl

Nice mess

2011-08-04T20:48:00.001+01:00

Sonja was so much happier at dinner time today when she got to play with some of the food. Lovely mess for me to tidy up....

Toy of the week

This new play thing and also lucas' little egg shaped noise making thing.

Another week

2011-08-01T11:02:00.000+01:00

New week. The weekend was lovely, we had nat, Scott and Lucas here. And ann. Great seeing them all!!!

Got a quick session in the gym, saw a house we liked but lots of issues around it as the builders have gone bust.

This week: driving, opening a bank account for SKW, packing for next week.

SKW isn't crawling yet, 22 days until mormor is here...
