Sofia eats a mandarine on her own

Every day after my "soup" meal with vegetables I get to eat a mandarine on my own. I like getting my fingers sticky and sucking all the sweet juice out of the fruit.

My first Christmas

We drove to visit grandma on the 23rd of December, and mom and dad told me that I have too much stuff. The car was completely filled with things and presents... most for me.

On the 24th not so much happened, since that is still a fasting day and we just relaxed and didn't do much. On the 25th mom and dad took me to church for a short visit, so I could get the blessing and drink the holy wine and eat the bread. I didn't have much, but it still counts. Then we drove back home, and opened the presents and took pictures of me in my pretty new dress.

 This is my baptism present from uncle Rolf and auntie Pia and Julie and Alexander, that I finally grew into. :)

 This and the next pictures are of me in my special Christmas dress. Aren't I pretty?

 4 generations!

 Opening presents!!!

Dear Santa

I hope Santa gets my email in time :)

December updates

So over the past few weeks things have been progressing quite nicely for me. I sleep well, play well and eat well. I eat two solid food meals and will soon experiment with the third. For mum and dad, one thing is certain - I am very opinionated and I know exactly what I want and like (and definitely what not!|).
Here are some recent photos:

Saturday Night... Nothing On TV :(

Splish Splash...

I love bathing and splashing all over the place!

Bonus picture for my fans:

I think I need one of those baths after eating my mashed veggies...

Eating can be very tiring...

Eating solid foods

As I told you the other day, I've started eating solid foods now. Daily I eat a serving of carrot and zucchini mash. Mom and dad finally put together the high chair for me, so I can sit properly when eating. I very much enjoy it - both sitting in that chair and also eating the cooked food. It is very good and I cannot get enough, as you can see in the video. I open my mouth and wait faster than mom can serve me... :)

Standing?

I've been practicing standing.... well, not on my own, but with mom or dad holding me. I'm actually quite good at it. Here dad made me stand on the couch by myself... although I am more or less just leaning over the armrest of the couch... but my legs are holding some of my weight, which is now at 8,4 kilos. I was checking out the fish, which is something I like a lot. It can even make me be quiet when I am screaming the most. I also like to inspect the loudspeaker you can see next to the couch in the picture.

October updates for my fans

It's been quite an eventful month so far for me.

First off, my grandma Aase,  faster Randi and my cousin Frederik all came over for a week's visit. I loved having them around (especially since they spoiled me rotten :) ). We took advantage of the lovely weather and visited the city, went to parks, the zoo, a museum. They coddled me and it was quite hyggeligt. 

Here are some photos from their visit:

Also, I have started eating solids recently. This is quite an achievement for me! I eat root veggies and zucchini mash every day and I love it. Here is proof of it :)

On the lap of great grandmother

I love my great grandmother, and she loves me!

Visit at grandma's

On Friday and Saturday we went to Robesti again (mum, dad, auntie Dori and myself).
I had a good time, played, slept well and was just overall cute.

Here are some photos to prove it

Sitting on mum's lap ROCKS :)

Let me explain it to you...

Understand?

What are you looking at?

I like sitting on grandma's lap, too :)

A walk in the park

On Saturday mum and dad took me on a short trip to the park. They walked with me on alleys, fed me, I "chatted" with some of my friends and they also took a few photos, that you can see below.

"Talkative" and funny Sofia

Here is a little video with Sofia talking with her toy and chewing it while sitting in the corner of the couch with a lot of pillows around. Later in the video she changes from talking to her newly learned skill: blowing raspberries. Daddy takes the credit for teaching her how to make that sound. :) Pttttttt! :)

 

Some photos for my fans

So the past few days have passed with no major events - I wake up, eat, play, nap, go to the park, come back home, take a bath, sleep, repeat :) I am 4 1/2 months now, 66 cms long and I weigh 7.5 kilos. I'm a happy, cute baby, people say. Mum and dad say I'm the best in the world :)

Dad & I are watching Bamse in Danish. I love it!

I like to play with the bottle when I'm fed, which is... challenging for mum and dad

Dad tried listening to my lungs (I had a bit of a cough)

And guess who sucks her thumb?

Fruit juice

Today I am entering a new era. Food that comes in other shapes and colours than MILK! Oh my God, I didn't know what I had been missing out on.

Ok, ok, I've only tried one new thing today. Mom and dad made me some juice from carrots and apples using their juicer. Even though the machine is pretty noisy, I wasn't scared at all. It was actually rather interesting to watch. They took the juice and mixed it with water and put it in a bowl, so they could feed it to me using a spoon. They made a video, that you can see here below. It wasn't very easy to eat a liquid, so after a while they put the rest in a bottle, and that made it easy for me to finish all of it. It was soooo good that I fell asleep immediately after finishing it. :)

5 year marriage of mom and dad

Yesterday was mom and dad's 5th wedding anniversary, and they celebrated this by going into town to have a nice lunch. I stayed at home and auntie Dori came over to make sure I didn't get into any trouble. She is always very kind and she loves me very much, and I love her too. We had a nice couple of hours to ourselves, and I didn't make any trouble at all.

In the evening dad was feeding me, and since it had been a long and interesting day, I was very tired. When he sat me up so I could burp, I was so tired I just leaned forward and slept on the couch armrest...
