Every night...

... some time after George has fallen asleep, we go in to check on how he's lying. Funniest one so far was when he'd fallen asleep as he was biting one of the bars of the bed!!! This is true, it looked hilarious! But tonight wasn't too far off, with his head stuck under the duvet, facing the wrong direction, but still hanging on to his beloved Nellie-the-elliphant, by the tail... Cutie!

Will shortly post some more sleeping pics, have some old ones, classics!

Finally...

...Here it is, my long-spoken-about hanging globe for G. Purchased in the suburbs for almost no money at all. After a bit of drilling, some electricity connection skills and a ladder, it is finally up! Don't bother about the black lead hanging there like an eye sore, it will be sorted tomorrow. But doesn't it look really cosy? And educational too, let's not forget!

George Corleone

This is G-man's favourite chair at the moment, our little chubby Buddha looking like he owns the world!

Georgie walking update

Oh, forgot to tell you, he's properly walking now since a few days! Not the 'taking-a-few-steps-and-tumbling-over', but taking some steps, finding his balance and then taking a few steps more! Brilliant! He'll be chasing the Tim around the house at Christmas!

Lots of pressies and tooth number three!

Thank you everyone for all the wonderful gifts for our little G-man! He was as good as gold yesterday, loving all the attention, smiling all the time. And, this morning, hello tooth number three! A week of waiting, two sleepless nights and it's finally here!

First Birthday Cake!

First cake ever actually... Yummy yummy

Happy First Birthday Georgie Porgie Pudding and Pie!

Grattis på 1-årsdagen vår underbara lilla unge!

Georgie opening his first birthday present ever, very excited indeed! Tilt your hed for this film! Removed the two other films, took too long to load, but will post later!

More pics from Tjockholm

Got some great photos from Hannah last night, from Tjockholm and a couple from Kolmården. Lovely!

Watch out Ronaldo...

...Here comes George Melton!

New tricks

George's latest trick. He's gone from standing up in it, holding on to the back and jumping, to turning around and sitting down, looking like he owns the world...

Weekend in the archipelago

Spent a great weekend in the archipelago with friends. Cold, but beautiful. Very basic, but great food, great wine, great people, canoe race, George race, Trivial Pursuit games, meat fests, sauna with dip in sea (well, not Matt and myself obviously)...

Bug update

The hoovering has given result. Good results. No more bites yesterday and none so far today (fingers crossed...).

The truth shall set you free

Right, so it wasn't chicken pox, it wasn't nettle rash, it isn't the washing powder... It is mites (råttkvalster för er svennar!) from the bloody rat that lives under the floor!! How disgusting is that!!! That's what sent our whole little family itchy scratchy crazy! But I caught a little bugger (smaller than 1 mm) and went to Anticimex (company that deals with these things) with it this morning. And they told me it was mites! And the bites 'can be terribly itchy'... Really...

The good news is that we finally know, and I got this insect spray which I've used, and on Monday, Anticimex is coming here to do their magic, so hopefully back to normal shortly. And anyhow, George isn't too bothered, as long as there is sand to eat!
