Spring in the back yard - almost 17 month

Wow, I didn't realize that I haven't made a single post since Christmas. I certainly have to change that, and backfill some of the photos and events.

Anyway, today Isabella had a great time playing the backyard on her water and sand table. We didn't have water, or sand, but rice and measuring cups did the trick.

Daffodils by the front entrance 





Isabella played for at least an hour with sand and measuring cups :)

Gorgeous spring blooms



Laminate kale and mint. First edibles of the season.

Our little flower - always ready to go.

Mother's Day 2016

Image
What better way to end a perfect Mother's day than to blog about it? I certainly received a royal treatment today, that I totally didn't expect, or in any way deserve. The morning started with Isabella (read Robert) giving me a bouquet of beautiful roses, and a memory journal for our kids. For the rest of the day, not only I didn't have to cook, but we also experienced one of the best meals of our lives in Brazilian Steak House Fogo De Chao. Throughout the day Robert masterfully took care of Isabella, from dressing her in a beautiful horse dress, to feeding her breakfast, to getting into the pool with her for the weekly swim class... Thank you, honey! I'm so wonderfully blessed to have you <3 After the swimming class, we went to a great estate sale, and after we came home a beautiful bouquet and chocolates were waiting for us by the door - what a great surprise from my Father-in-Law! Thank you!

Josefine is 5 months!

   Where did the time go? Our baby is 5 month old! While just two month ago crying and fussing was a favorite pastime, now our house is filled with giggles from both girls.   Josefine's life now: - Sleep schedule normalized a bit. When she was 4.5 months old, we transferred her to her own room and her own crib. Now she sleeps through the night, except wakes up once to eat (around 4 am). She has a hard time going to sleep at night. Usually she is sleeps and wakes up multiple times between 8pm to 10:30. Which pretty much leaves us with 30 min of child free time :)) -Naps are still a struggle, it's rare for her to nap longer than 45 min at a time, usually 4 naps a day. - She is still exclusively nursing, around 5-6 times a day and once during the night. - She turned from her tummy to her back for the first time around 4 m and 3 weeks. And then did it 3 times after that. Tummy time is not her favorite thing still, but she is able to lay on her tummy longer now without...
