Mamma and I flew to Sweden on Wednesday. Daddy took us to the airport in Marge and it was really sad to say good bye to him and I miss him loads. The flight was fun, although it was my bedtime and I was very tired (flight was at 9pm) I decided against sleeping as I was so excited about everything and everybody, so many new things to see and do! As the pilot parked the plane in Stockholm I fell asleep exhausted. Auntie (and god mummy) Sara welcomed us at the airport and then we headed home to hers where I fell asleep again until the morning. It is so cold here in Sweden so I am wrapped up warm in the snug down-suit my friend Max lent me. On Thursday we chilled at Sara and Christians flat and I took the opportunity to help them re-arrange their CD and DVD collection.


On Friday morning Sara, mamma and I took the boat to Visby (the town where mamma was born and grew up), I had some lunch and had a good snooze in my pram before we arrived on the island. It was great fun to meet Cajsa and Clara again! We are having a really fantastic time and I am now crawling properly, there is so much floor space here to explore, I have also helped Cajsa to re-arrange her kitchen cupboards, CD’s and DVD’s. I am very busy exploring at the moment and really enjoy moving about lots, crawling is going really well. I love looking for electrical leads so I keep everyone busy running after me. My four top teeth has broken through so they are not causing me as much trouble as before, still annoying though! I am really enjoying myself in Sweden but I do miss daddy very much and look forward to seeing him next Saturday when we are back in London. Until then I will make sure I soak up all the attention and love I get here! Clara is busy taking lots of photos of me so I will upload them here.

Hej så länge! (bye for now)

Another lovely weekend spent with daddy and mamma at home. Sunday was a big day – Mothers day! I made mamma a card with a picture of me on it and she loved it! Daddy also loved yesterday because it was the first grand prix race of the season, I was born half way through last season so I didn’t really get into it last year but this year I am very much looking forward to spending many hours on the sofa with daddy watching the cars swish round and round the track, daddy’s team is Mclaren, which is obviously my first team as well (my shopping pram is a MacLaren!).

On Friday we went into the west end and had lunch with mammas friend Cecilia and her daughter Astrid, I have met them before but was so little then. It was good to see them again! Astrid is four this summer and will start school in September, she had a very pretty pink Barbie kick-scooter that made her go very fast on the pavement as we headed towards Hamleys Toystore after some lunch at the Scandinavian Kitchen (mamma was stuffing herself with smorgasbord and sweets...!).

Saturday afternoon after a Gymboree class with both mamma and daddy I went to my god mummy Yma’s house, there I met Anna one of mamma and Yma’s friend. Anna is from the same town as mamma and they went to the same school when they grew up. I showed off my crawling moves and played with some toys at Yma’s house whilst they nattered away.

 Today we left the house early again just after the builders arrived. The kitchen extension is going brilliantly; I am so excited about all the extra space I am going to get to crawl around on. Pimms and Cody are also very excited as they will think it’s their new ‘sunroom’, when they aren’t chasing squirrels or rabbits they love laying in the sun and the new kitchen with the roof velux windows and the big glass doors will suit them perfectly, they probably think we are building this all for them! The poor creatures are scared of the garden at the moment and they don’t get to chase away the fox as often as before because it is so messy and full of builders stuff. I will take some pics and upload here to show you the progress. After lunch we headed over to cousin Harry’s house, he had his nap as I arrived which gave me plenty of time to inspect his toys and pick out the best ones. When he got up we had loads of fun playing with his toys! He is six months today and although younger than me slightly bigger! He will be very good to have around as I grow up and get into trouble and I am so happy to have him as my cousin!

See you later alligators!

My handsome cousin!

Today is International Womens day! (the 99th one!) happy international womens day to all you rocking girls out there! WE ROCK! Mamma told me today that we are very lucky to be born in this age, not too long ago girls and women didn't (and still don't in some parts of the world) have the same rights as boys. Many women has fought hard for us to be equal - thank you!

Today is day one of our big kitchen build! I am very excited (probably not as excited as mamma and daddy...they are beside themselves!). The builders arrived early (ok...I wasn’t awake to greet them, not even Pimms’s barking gets me up that early) and daddy was up bright and early to welcome them. Mamma and I got up around 9ish and said hello to Daniel and Jerry, they didn’t seem to need our help so we left them to get on with demolishing the garden (I have watched some 'Bob the builder' prior to their arrival! But I don’t seem to be fully qualified yet). We took Pimms and Cody to the common before we met up with my mate Lukas and his mamma Therese in Wandsworth common cafe for an ‘Amanda Action kids’ class. Both Lukas and I enjoyed it, some songs, some dancing and some bubbles (quite similar to Gymboree but not as good!). Then we had some lunch, mamma and Therese ordered theirs off a menu whilst Lukas and I had some packed lunch (same stuff!), although I am not a very good eater I managed a few mouthfuls before my milk (still favourite!). Lukas is a very good eater and mamma thinks and hopes he will inspire me. He even gave me one of his cookies (plum spelt stick) which was yummy! What a gentleman he is! He really is sweet and I enjoy his company a lot! Tomorrow I am going to his house (Swedish mamma group meeting)! Yay! After lunch Lukas and I enjoyed a nap in our prams whilst we took Pimms and Cody around Wandsworth common. Then we wizzed off to Auntie Vicky’s house to play with my cousin Harry – he is so cool and we had tonnes of fun as always. As you can tell I have had a great day with lots of play so by the time we got home (after yet another snooze whilst Pimms and Cody went squirrel hunting in Wimbledon) I was exhausted! Had a nice long soak and hit the sack after a play with daddy. Btw - Idont' need mamma to rock me to sleep any longer nor do I fall asleep whilst drinking my valling, I am still awake when mamma puts me in my cot and I go to sleep all by myself! (might need to remind her who's boss soon though).

Here are some pics from today’s outing with Lukas – thanks Therese for sending! Lukas is the handsome guy in red/white stripe t-shirt - he is so cute!
