Monday!

Isak is still a very happy and easy going baby. He laughs a lot and smiles a lot, he likes sucking on his fingers, he now plays a lot on his belly and look really funny when he turns himself back to his back. He just leans his head back as far as he can, twist the head to the side and with the help of the weight of his head his body falls so he lands on his back. Does that make sense? I feed Isak 2 times every night. A few weeks ago I only fed him once a night but now we are back to 2 times a night. It doesn't really worry me and I won't try to change anything at this change. He sleeps between 7pm to 7am and the feeds are around 1am and 4-5am. During the days he normally has 3 naps. Isak is also a very cuddly baby. Jakob was never really like that, he never used to relax when he was held, he always wanted to stand up or be walked around. Isak is sometimes happy just resting on my chest. Even though he of course has his bad days and cries at times like all babies do, I enjoy every day when he is as charming as he is right now.

Isak is not the only joy in our life. Jakob is now 3 1/2 years old and knows everything. Great fun to be with, very active, wants to learn, is not shy at all, wants to win, can be very soft and very hard at the same time. Life with him is never boring and very challenging at times. Lately he has played a lot by himself and he talks all the time when he plays with cars, animals, little people etc. It is really interesting to listen to his conversations with the toys. Can't think of any good examples but I will listen carefully next time.

Today Isak had his first try of solids. He got some potatoes mashed with breast milk. He is nearly 6 months now so I thought I better get started with solids so that he is eating well by the time we are leaving for Thailand. The potatoes went down quite well. He wasn't really sure what to do with it at first but I think most of it went down in the end. I will try again tomorrow.

Today we have had a relaxing day after our big weekend. After lunch my parents best friends son Fredrik came over with his wife Johanna and their children Vera and Lovisa. They live in Gothenburg and are only up in Luleå to visit family. It was very nice to see them and Jakob had fun playing with Vera for a couple of hours.

After they left we went to mum and dad and I dropped Jakob off for an hour or so when Isak and I had a quick look at the sales in the city. Had dinner with mum and dad and Jakob had a bath before we headed home to go to bed at about 7pm.
