Last 2 pictures.

Sometimes I go through the first pictures after Leia was born. And it is lots of fun. :) Seeing how much she has grown and changed. But today I looked at the day before she was born, October 12th, and there were 2 pictures in that folder.

These are the last two pictures that I took before Leia was born:




Yes.. :)) Pictures of the stroller. :) I remember that we had all the baby stuff everywhere in the house but we didn't have a baby. :) So I had taken a picture of our anticipation, but never had a chance to post about it.

Leia slept VERY well today. She slept 3hr and 45min..! I had to wake her up, too. So she was a tired baby. Which might have been why she was so grumpy today before her nap. :/ When I woke her up after her nap, she was very, very happy. When I went in to get her, she was sleeping on top of her blanket, facing the wrong direction, and hugging her pink kitty. :)) She kept the kitty and took it downstairs with her. She kept it for her after-nap lunch. I put her in her high chair and she scooted over and sat the kitty beside her.. :D Everynow and then she would take the kitty out and give it a kiss and then hold it out for me to give it a kiss and then she would set it beside her again. :)) She is extremely entertaining. :))

And she can drink through a straw now! It took about 15 seconds to teach her and she loves it. So now we give her juice boxes (with as little added sugar as we can find). But she won't drink juice out of a sippy cup (pipmugg it is called in Swedish?? something like that) and it is just too messy to give it to her in a normal cup right now, so the juice box thing is great. It is something new for her so she thinks it is a real treat when she gets to have it.

Fredrik is sad.. :/ One of Fredrik's workmates might be leaving. :( They are renting their home and they are having a horrible time finding a more permanent place to live. They have.. a zoo of sorts.. :/ :) They have cats and goats and horses, and a pig that lives in the house.. :/ :) But the cats live outside.. :)) But he and Fredrik get along really well and he started working there not that long ago. Their neighbors aren't too happy about the animals and they are having a difficult time finding a place of their own. He has been by the house before and Leia and I got to meet him. We were going to wait until Leia was a little older (next summer) and take her to their house so she could see all the animals, but seems like we might have to do it sooner than that. :/ He and Fredrik get along really well. But if he leaves, it leaves Fredrik as the only measurer they have.. so.. which is good for Fredrik's job. :/ :) They have a problem with keeping workers.. because no one wants to live in this area.. :/ So they might work extra hard to make sure that Fredrik doesn't want to leave too, since now another one is leaving. :/ :)

But now it is way past bedtime. Fredrik and I watched another interesting movie tonight, "Brutal Massacre." A comedy, a fake documentary about a B horror movie being made. It was great. :))
