The boys...

 
I have once again been bad at updating the blog but here are a last few photos before we go travelling. In only a few days we take off for 5 weeks in Thailand and 3 in Australia. We are all very excited.
 
The last few weeks have been very busy but fun working a lot, not sleeping so well at night, spending time with the Children and also squeeze in some mummy/Viktor time in the city with other mum's or friends. I look forward to going on 2 months proper parental leave before going back to work again in January. I am just hoping that Viktor starts sleeping at night and also starts eating other things than milk from me... There are a few positives about Viktors sleeping though. He can now sleep for up to 2 hours without waking up during the day. That makes Life much easier than when he only did 20-40 min at a time. Especially now when I work between feeds and Adam bring him in to me when due for  some milk.
 
 

Jakob is growing up so fast. He loves school and he loves sport and he loves Viktor a lot. He loves Isak too but he gets a bit tired of him when he Always wants to do Everything Jakob does and also when he doesn't stop talking. It is very hard to remember that there was a time when I worried about Isak and that he had some problem with talking. I take that back now... talking is not a problem for Isak.
 
At the moment we are just trying to get organised for the big trip and also trying to help Isak to recover from a Cold and prevent the rest of us from getting it. Jakob is coughing a bit but seems ok. Isak slept for 15 hours last night and woke up feeling much better today.
 

Swimming school

Last week Jakob had his 2 last sessions of an intensiv swimming school. It lasted 10 times over 2 1/2 weeks straight after school. Parents were only allowed to Watch the first time and the last time and these photos are from the last session.

 
Jakob who has never been very Confident in the water did really really well and I most imortantly - he had fun and enjoyed going there every time. He still can't swim without floaties but is so much better than when he started.

Isak came to watch on the last day!

And also mormor and Viktor!

Jakob has always hated to put his head under water (must like his mother...)
and the first day he didn't want to do it at all, but the last day he did it over and over again. He still doesn't like it but he tries and does it when he has to.

To celebrate that he finished the 10 swimming lessons we went out for pizza together with his friend Axel and his family.

Brothers

 
Jakob loves helping with Viktor and Viktor just can't get enough of Jakob!
 

Viktor

A few weeks ago I started giving Viktor solids. What can I say? it is not going very well. So now he is both a bad sleeper and a bad eater.
 
 
 
He is very cute though and happy during the Days!


Autumn

 
During the last couple of months I have tired hard to get fit and lose some more weight. It hasn't gone quite as well as I had hoped due to a few things, but mainly me working a lot more than planned and also Viktor sleeping so extremly badly. I have lost about 5 kilos in 2 months and only have 2 more to lose so at least it is not so far to go.
 
Viktor is normally very happy in the pram so I have taken him for quite a few long Power walks.
 


 
The autumn has been  beautiful with many sunny clear days.



Sport sport sport...

The ice hockey season started with an open day at the ice arena a few weeks ago. Not sure what I was thinking but I deciede to go with all Three boys even though Adam was working. Luckily mum met up with me at the arena and could look after Viktor when I was chasing Isak and Jakob.
 
Isak did great. He we probably one of the youngest but he worked so hard and listened to the trainer and tried to follow the instructions. Sometimes he just did his own thing but he was happy and only stopped a couple of times for a drink.

I lost Jakob quite quickly but he had found a Group of kids that were on the same level as him so he was happy.

Isak was so proud of himself for finally overcoming his fear of the big hockey bear!


Straight after hockey we had to get changed in to soccer outfit in the car park.  

Jakob just loves any sport and is very cometitive!

While Jakob had his soccer training Isak Went to a birthday party.
