Walking already?

No, but I try to stand up, good mummy holding me so I don't fall backwards! Don't I look good though?!

Bling bling shoes!

Today Isabella got her a pair of cool bling bling shoes from California! The day she walks they will lighten up for every step....so cool. I looked for a pair like this for a long time but couldn't find them. I also look for the one with a small wheel at the heel so kids can run and then glide on the shoes on a plain surface!!! I know a few kids who would love that!!!

Market in action.

Lots of people visited the yearly market, where they sold Asian, Italian, Greek food, coffee, tea, biscuits, icecream, fruits, flowers, babyclothes, knitted blankets, gymnastic, dog show, horseridimg, bookselling, lottery.......the usual stuff but it was fun!

Mum happy!

Yeah, it worked, Bella i sleeping!

Picknick at the market.

Mum tries to get Isabella to sleep after a hot day at the market!

Snoozing

Isabella is snoozing after a nice bath and a busy day. Blankett comes from Old Timers Nursinghome and their market they have once a year!!!

Bath nr 2

Me again in full figure!
I look like one of these paper candy holder my great grandparents got candy in! Hi hi hi (strut!?).

Another bath!

In the Australian flag! Isabella loves the warm water so she can kick her little legs freely!

Pedestrian area in central Alice

Every sunday the aboriginal women sell paintings under this tree, mostly to tourists. The black dog is wild.

Alice in spring!

Mum and Isabella stops for a photosession on the way home from town.

Totaly exhausted!

Very busy day: pooping, peeing, eating, listen to mozart, change clothes and nappies, eating, screaming, looking at dad, lifting up head from stomach position, eating, peeing, looking around, kicking legs, talking, peeing, eating.....then finaly sleeping on mums soft warm stomach! and it's still only 11.00, the day will be long...

Sweet dreams!

Me and mum

Today I am 5 weeks old and only getting bigger for every day! There is clothes I can't wear now...I better slow down my growing spurt! I love to make new nosies and talk to mum and dad!

Are we under attack?

No, it's just the yearly walk through the city (aprox 300m) of the sailors from Darwin. Lot's of people from Alice Springs went out to se them march their 300 m, say hi to the mayor and then go shopping! The event lasted for about 15 minutes! What a show...but we where pretty exited by it. Time to move on south to the bigger city!?

New bear!

As father as daughter!?

After a long hard working day.....

Dream time!

Guess what I'am dreaming about....can you see my smile? Today I smiled for the first time to mum and to a toy! pretty funny! Eyes still get crossed when I have been awake for a while and try to concentrate to look at all the intressting things around me!

Calm and cool!

After a warm relaxation bath Isabella feels pretty relaxed and stretch out for a while happy not to be packed into clothes, dipers and blankets!

Weekly progress.

At the community health center today Isabella weight is: 3960 kg a boost of eating since last week when she was "only" 3680 kg. Her length is 54 cm and head 35 cm. She has already grown out of some of the clothes......

In general her weight is medium, length more then medium and head a little smaller then medium! So she will be a tall girl with a small head.....hi hi hi, the most cutest of them all!

Mums and Isabellas hand!

Oh...what's that?

Another flash in my face.....intressting!

Smile!

What do you want from me mum???

passport 2

Look at that face....

How do you take a passport photo on a baby???

This is another try to take a accepted passportphoto on Isabella..... it's not easy...

Friday morning 07.00

Dad is in the shower geting ready for work and mum is on the blog. I listen to classical music and get som sleep in the big bed. I really relax when I listen to this cd "baby classic music" and sleep for another hour! But I get the feeling that mum is on the way to pick me up and change me, put on some nice clothes and get me ready for a day in Alice!

My space!

Isabellas own little space in the big cot. Perfectly close to mummy so sleeping in the night doesn't feel lonely. Nappychange per night/ about 4, eating per night/ every 3-4 hour. Mum kan see/hear when Isabella moves around and kicks and makes the poop/pee noise so it's easy and quick to change her before she even wakes up. The same with feeding, not much screaming is neccesary for Isabella to make her message go through!

Breastfeeding!?

Sleeping after eating! Huh it's still not painfree to deliver food to Isabella. She is doing everything right but...... ouch it's hurt! She changed her sleepingpattern up all night..... and sleep most of the day! Mum is very tired now, good dad is still home!

Own passport?

Our little girl needs an own passport to be able to travell so we have been adviced to try to take her passport photo..... after many tries this is one of the best one...... not easy to take photo of a little active baby, they move very quickly!!!

Dancing with daddy!

Godmorning! Today I'm 3 weeks old and I like to dance with daddys help to Bob Marley music! I also like to watch mum and dad do funny faces, can't really do the same but I try.

Music toys!

Thanks for the great gifts we got from mum, aunts, cousins, sisters, friends and brothers. Cute Canadian clothes, shoes, Swedish body, flowers, music toys that she loves.... We love to get gifts and feel like children every time we unwrap a gift! Thanks a lot guys!

Moby Wrap

We are on the way to the community health center for the weekly check up on Isabella. I'm wearing a Moby Wrap a sling in stretch that follows the babys body and they feel secure and loves to snuggel up to mothers chest! I great item for mothers to be, can be used for babies up at least 1 year in diffrent carrying positions. Another sling is called Hug a Bub.

Isabella weigh now 3480 kg and is 53 cm long (grown 3 cm in 2 weeks), head 34 cm (grown 1 cm). She is alert and not to upset when undressed and put on a scale. She is breastfeeding every 2-3 hour in the day and every 4 hour at night. Lots of diapers...... Breastfeeding starts to feel better now! Patients..... I have lost almost all pregnacyweight already just 5 kg to go.....I think it's a bit to quick I forget to eat so S is now making delicous meals every day which I dig into!

His daddy leave is soon up, 3 weeks has passed so quick and we have had lots of support with eachother. Wonder how it will be when he starts to work on monday?! Isabella will for sure miss her daddy in the day, but they can make up for it in the evening instead.
