3 hours & a swimsuit.

Leia and I went on a 3 hour walk yesterday! I really didn't intend for it to take sooo long, but we had a nice time. :)

She didn't sleep of course until I started the way home. Then I sat at the harbor on a bench, rested for awhile, enjoyed the nice weather, and watched a bunch of construction workers work on something slightly far away next to the restaurant on the lake. Then we made our way home and she woke up soon after arriving home. Pappa got home only a few minutes after us. :) (He came home early.) The weather was pretty nice yesterday afternoon.

And right now Leia is making her way across the living room to try to suck on the strands of a rug..... Which she very well knows she shouldn't do that because it is slightly disgusting, but she doesn't listen to us and does it anyways. :))

She still prefers green toys over others. :) And of all the toys she has, she loves this... round edged container for breath ments that I had bought while in the US. She grabbed it and started playing with it and won't let go of it. :/ :))

And I just filmed her chasing this green breath ment case around the living room. For awhile she was stuck on her red stuffed dog from "Uncle" Uffe. I'll get that on here of course. :)

Fredrik's friend, Daniel, who has a daughter 5 days younger than Leia, definitely agrees with Fredrik that Leia said "Pappa" in the video. :D I have a feeling that new Dads unite on things like this.. :D

Leia and I went out with much purpose yesterday, but we didn't get much accomplished besides at our trip to the grocery store.

We did get a little bit of clothes for her. I found the most adorable outfits. Especially this little red and white striped skirt with leggings attached. But they were too small, especially around the waist.

Ooh.. and she takes a pacifier now! She would randomly come across one while playing, and she would stick it in her mouth. And now she will suck on one every now and then. It will pacifier her for a little while, or she will play with it.

But I found some Pippi brand onesies and little leggings. Very simple and cheap (which is always good, considering baby clothes prices in Sweden). I bought size 80 (10-12 month), which is what fits her now. Her length is definitely in her waist. We realized that she is very quickly growing out of her clothes.

And once I saw it, I had to buy it:





Leia's first swimsuit. :)) I bought a size 92, hoping it will fit by the time it is warm enough to get wet... Which by God it should, since that is a 24 month size. But it looked so small.. It will probably be too big by then, though, once she thins out some more with getting longer, but that is okay, we'll have it for next year if it is too big. :)
I found a really cute baby pool.... It had like a baby gym on it, and toys attached.. But Fredrik complained about me getting it. And then when I put it back, he told me I should get it......... Men. :P

Leia had some beef stroganoff yesterday. :) Her first meat. I found it and thought I'd let her try it. She was very confused. :)) She.. not sure if she liked it, but she kept wanting more. She only had a few spoonfuls before she threw up.. :/ :)) I think the texture was a little different, it wasn't exactly puréed and she.. not sure it settled well with her. :) So we will save that flavor again for some other time. :/ :)) But this morning she had some baby oatmeal from the US. And she really, really liked that. :)

Okay, now Leia is getting a little grouchy, so it is time to go wake up Pappa.. :D
