Fall is upon us.

Even though Fall has been here for awhile, we had a pleasantly warm day today! Not hot or anything.. :) ..but it was sunny and very nice out!





Leia is saying a lot more now. But it is all in Swedish. :( We think that she is getting frustrated with me sometimes because I speak a different language than everyone else. So I think Mormor and Morfar being here for the next 5 weeks will help a lot in Leia's language development. It will be good for her to hear more English speakers.

Right now, her favorite words to say are:

- akta! (be careful / watch out)
- titta (look)
- bye bye
- Elvis (yes, Elvis)

And of course numbers in general and the alphabet. She tries to say most everything she hears in English and Swedish, but she remembers the Swedish more of course because she hears it more often.

Leia didn't even try to sleep at all today, but she stayed pretty happy and not too cranky. Fredrik took her on a long 2 hour walk then, so that I could get through some school stuff and so he could get some exercise.

Leia loves being outside. Whenever they leave the grounds at daycare, either for their weekly Thursday forest trips, or when they take out their recycling, etc.. Leia refuses to go in the stroller! She wants to walk with the older children. :) So they let her and she does very well! :) ("Very well" meaning that she doesn't run away.) :)) She listens and stays with them, so they let her walk. :)

And on Leia's birthday, they are finally getting a photographer to come and take a group picture! :) They have all 15 spots filled now at the daycare, 14 girls and 1 boy... :D And then I think you can have individual pictures done, too - so we are going to see if she will sit still for that. :)

Now it is close to 19.00 and välling time!
