1 month old (July 11th - August 10th)

 

July 11th 2007

Today is my 1-month birthday! My weight is increasing: 3,610 grams now. Big boy.

And Mummy went to see Mila who came with the stork yesterday!

 

16:54 - Mila & Mummy. My future playmate, even if she's a girl  ;-)

 

21:52 - Grandma Mira made me a cake, and Predrag & me can't wait to dig in!

 

21:52 - yeah, right. Rub it in will'ya. My mouth is watering but I'm still on the milk-wagon!

 

21:58 - my big sister has arrived!! I soooo much want to master this eye-focusing thingie, but I'm still too young. Soon I'll look directly at you Sis, I promise.

 

21:58 - you can see I'm trying, right? My gosh, you are cute!

 

21:59 - did you see her Mummy? My Sis Kelley? Where have you hidden her until now?

 

Love you Mummy!

I feel a poo coming. Do you?

Wasn't me!

22:00 - can we be any more adorable? No, didn't think so.

 

   

22:02 - I'm missing 36 minutes to be a full month old, so obviously I'm too young to taste cake. Fair? No, don't think so!

14:08 - afternoon nap in Predrags safe hand.

 

21:02 - here is uncle Joakim checking on my progress.

20:42 - what's that on your finger, Dad?

 

20:42 - Kelley; what is he doing with my footsie?

 

20:43 - aha; footsieprints!

 

20:43 - sometimes you grown-up are just toooo much!

 

20:44 - do you see, Sis? I got it on my other footsie now!

 

20:44 - the cleaning of toes can be a very relaxing experience, especially in Kellina's safe arms.

 

20:46 - they tried to do my hand as well! I refused to open it though, so that didn't work.

 

20:46 - look; blue nails!

 

20:46 - it's enough now guys; I've been good and all, but enough is enough. OK?

 

20:52 - you won't let them do this to me again, will you Kelley? You'll protect me, right?
