So tired.

I have been so tired the last few days. :/ Don't know what is wrong with me. :/ I'm sleeping really well at night, but am exhausted anyways, and easily take a nap in the morning when Leia is sleeping. First insomnia, and now completely dead..?? Argh..! Make up your mind!

Caesar is presently sleeping in the stairs to the cellar. :) It is very nice and cool and quite (and dark). He got shut in there when I shut the door, and he decided to just stay and enjoy the opportunity. :)




Leia's teeth are much more visible now. :) Her front right and the one to its right are very visible, the front left tooth is still a bit hidden. But they are huge!! The teeth are so big. Nothing at all like the little baby teeth on the bottom.

She has taken more steps. :) Pappa has finally seen her take her steps, so he agrees that she is trying to walk. :) She'll try it once, and only once and then she gets angry if you want her to try again. Sometimes she'll stand there and just lean forward, sometimes she will try to hop with both feet forward, and then everynow and then she will take a step or two. :) She even tried crawling backwards the other day.

It is so great having Pappa home. :) We are enjoying our family time together. :) I've got to clean lots in the kitchen. And we hope to soon put up a new shelf that we got for the upstairs bathroom.

Leia playing with a ball from "Aunt" Angelica:






Leia LOVES pillows. We decided we need to have a room that is padded on the floor and walls and fill it with pillows and just let her play in there. :/ :)



Leia will say "Mamma" and "da da." :)
She loves to "sing" "If You're Happy and You Know It." Except she wants to stomp her feet all the time even when you are supposed to clap. :)


Yesterday we went on a nice walk:




Oh yeah.. and Leia likes to look down her shirt, too.


Even though it ended up raining while we were out:




Lots of fun to look at the water collecting on the stroller cover.


Her personality is still developing so much.
She has a horrible, horrible temper. She will start screaming with tears if you tell her "no" or move her from some place she shouldn't be. She has learned to spit food out of her mouth. And she'll only eat other food than fruit if it is masked (completely covered) with fruit. It used to not be a problem.. but now she is getting picky I suppose. So I am making most all of Leia's baby food.. and I cover it in a banana-yoghurt mixture that I make that she is very fond of. Disgusting, I know, but it works and she is getting all her vegetables.

She is sleeping very well during the day, but fighting at night now.
She'll sleep 3-5 hours during the day, but usually won't be asleep before 20.00. But then she isn't waking up until around 07.00. So, I suppose we shouldn't be complaining too much. ;)

It has been raining a lot today. Which was needed, but a bad storm is on its way.

Farmor and Farfar are coming over tomorrow.
Farfar hopes to help Fredrik with a container in the cellar that has old oil in it. We don't use it, obviously, so we want to get rid of it so we have more room down there, especially to store pellets during the Winter.

We've just been cleaning and spending time together and going on walks and all that fun stuff. :) We went grocery shopping today for a few things and I think there were more Norwegians and Germans in the store than Swedes.
