Sisters

Isnt it just adorable to see the girls loving eachother this much already. Signe tells us very often that she loves Lisa, and Lisa responds so well to Signe, with big smiles and happy faces. Sister-love when its best.

Christmas!

Signe is daily talking about christmas, mentioning all the things she wish for and talking about when to get a christmas tree. So today the decorations are taken out of the shed, and some time during the weekend, we will get a tree. The radio plays christmas songs too, and we are beginning to get into a nice christmas spirit. Odin, however, already mentioned that he had enough of christmas songs already - boy, will he be fed up, Signe and I havent even started being christmassy yet! hehe.. He will survive, Im sure.
Lisa has discovered her voice and has begun to say alot of different noises. Its hillarious to listen to and it´s so nice that she is now actually trying to communicate. Lovely :-)

Smiling Lisa

Lisa is such a happy baby, and smiling is her favourite thing. She espacially smiles when Signe is talking to her or if theres music around. She even likes mommy´s singing!

Signe

Signe making a funny face, trying to be beautiful. As if she needed a funny face for that...

Visit from Holland

We had the pleasure of having a visit from Holland recently. Saturday afternoon we were all invited to "Mormor & Morfar" for coffee and cake... lots of cake!
Signe was very happy, she got a fancy playmobil-ambulance, which her and Morfar played with alot. And Lisa was held and adored by both grandma´s.

Who´s who?

Signe and Lisa... guess who´s who !??!

Mommy-group

Picture: Lisa and Malina lying in Mattis´s box (Mommy-group).

When having a baby, women are offered to join a "mommy-group". The goal is to talk to other new moms, discuss baby issues etc. Today was the second time I went to my group, and it was a real pleasure, the women are all sweet and time flies when we are together. There are 7 of us, 4 have boys and 3 have girls.
Lisa is starting to make all kinds of noises, its really cute to listen to - Odin melts completely :)
Signe has a bad cold, like all the other kids at school, we hope it will pass quickly.

Grabbing toys

The nurse told us that the next step in Lisa´s developement would be that she A. would start grabbing things B. would start saying more sounds C. would discover her hands, but not yet controlling them.
So why not go right ahead, theres no time like the present!

The first snow

The other day it snowed. It was the firts snow of the year, and it didnt stay, it melted almost immediately. Still, it was a strange feeling, looking out the window seeing snowflakes falling. Image that.. it´s already time to think about christmas again. Last year, around this time, we were hoping to get pregnant, and now Im here looking at Lisa sleeping beside me.
Yesterday we had the nurse come by, she weighed and measured Lisa, who is growing fast! - She is now 6 kilos and 60 cm. Thats almost double up in weight, since she was born! She is rushing to grow.. maybe she is trying to immitate her older sister already.
And speaking of Signe, she cracked the code of reading last week. She actually read a page in a small book, she had from school. She was very proud - so were we!
So now we have to practize alot to make it easier for her, Its really a great acomplishment for her. Yay for Signe!

Getting started

We have now had a blog for some time now, and it looks boring and we simply dont use it. But that is about to change. This is the very first post, somewhat a test to see if it all looks as nice as I want it to...
