The day in pictures.

Chatting on Mommy's old cell phone.

Moving furniture.

Thanks to Great-Aunt Christina, Leia learned about her belly button. :/ :))) Now it is raw and red because she won't stop picking at it.







Showing off those pearly whites.

Belly button is still more fun!



Took a walk to MIO (furniture store) and found this adorable children's outdoor furniture set. Really, really cheap! I think I might have to make Fredrik go back to the store so we can get it. Perfect for us to take to the summer house in the coming years as well.

Checking out all the pretty (and expensive) outdoor furniture.

Continuing our walk through Northern Åmål.

Stopping for an ice cream while out in the hot, hot sun.



New shelf that Mommy bought for the office room while at MIO. Picked white because we hope to eventually (not too distant future) paint the walls a dark brown/mocca color. And get the fish pictures framed.





Leia playing before bath time.

Cute kitty.

Two visitors.

We had a fantastic surprise today. :) Fredrik's Aunt Christina stopped by our house! :) Along with her boyfriend. We had no idea they were coming (or else we would have straightened up a little). :))) But it was so great to see them. It is their first time meeting Leia and their first visit to our present home.




They were on the West coast and decided to stop by on their way home. We don't get many visitors, so this was a special treat. :) Not many people drive through Åmål or visit Åmål, so there isn't much chance to see people we know.

A big thank-you to them for coming by, and for the beautiful present for Leia. :)

3rd tooth.

Leia's 3rd tooth has come through!

It isn't one of her top two, it is one next to the top two, on her right side. But we have a feeling those two top ones will be coming through any time, which will give her 5. :/ :))

Christian Bale's love child.

I have a reoccuring dream. In the dream I have Christian Bale's love child.

I had the dream last night.

In last night's dream, I had a child with me. She looked just like Leia but with very dark hair. We were traveling on a bus. On this bus was me, "Leia," Fredrik, Bale, Bale's parents, and then it was full with lots of strangers.

Bale and I were playing cards and chatting. Fredrik and I were dating, so everyone assumed the child was his, but it wasn't.

Christian Bale and I talked and flirted and wanted to be together. There really wasn't much more to the dream than that. This was much better than the majority of my normal dreams, which are horrific nightmares. :/ :)

Who wouldn't want to dream about Christian Bale every night ??? :))

Walking, dancing and eating things off the floor.

June pictures.

Photos from the month of June.

Goodbye to Mormor + Morfar.

Last night Leia had to say her goodbyes, and this morning I said my goodbyes before Fredrik drove my parents to Gothenburg's airport. They might have had an offer to take a later flight after reaching Copenhagen, but we won't know until they get home to tell us. :)

We hope Mormor and Morfar enjoyed their stay with the 3 of us and that we were good hosts. It was fantastic having 2 more people around for such a long time. It makes us wish we had more family and friends around us.

It has been very quite here. :) Especially this morning. They left at 5 so Leia and I were alone for awhile until Pappa got home around 12.00. On his way home, Fredrik stopped in Trollhättan and decided that that is where we should probably do our shopping from now on. It is only 10 minutes farther than the new shopping center we went to last week, but with many more stores. While there, he bought me a new pair of shoes. :) Ecco shoes. He decided that I "needed" them. :/ :) I really like them. :)



I think Leia took her first steps yesterday. :)) Mormor and Farmor believe me but Fredrik doesn't. But that is because he is jealous that he didn't get to see. :) Leia and I were alone in the living room yesterday, she was standing infront of me and she took maybe 1½ steps to get to me. I started screaming. :)) She won't repeat it, so Fredrik doesn't believe me. :P So, I'm not sure we are counting it as her offical first steps.

Leia slept well today, even with all the warmth. It is a little too warm here. :/

Now Leia's bath is over and now it is my turn to give her some orajel and baby tyelonl since she is a bit warm (having a fever from teething doesn't make a happier baby in the heat). :/ :))

Flames.

Okay.. it is hot. Annoyingly hot. :/ It isn't supposed to be this warm in Sweden. :/ That is why I moved here.. to get away from the heat. :/ (Fredrik and) I are extremely anxious for Fall and cooler weather. Permanent cooler weather.

It will be Leia's 2nd Halloween this Fall, but her first Halloween that we will more properly celebrate. We really didn't get to celebrate last year.. Leia was 2 weeks old and we were a little occupied. :) There is no "proper" trick-or-treating in Sweden. Some places try, but don't get it right ... I might have to organize a proper trick-or-treating in our "fun" town of Åmål. But no matter what, she will get this as a Halloween costume:



:))

Who says it needs to be attached to a tree???






Yesterday we had dinner with Farmor and Farfar. Of course we missed the ferry to the summer house, so Leia got to dip her toes in the water:
