BBQ and a game of Scattergories



Poor little Noah got sick with the stommach flu a couple of days ago. He also had a very high feever and was so tired and couldn't do anything. He woke up 3 times that night, heart was pounding and he was red from the high temperature. It was exhausting and nervwracking to take care for him. All you want is for little Tarzan to come back. He is feeling a little better today thank God!

The BBQ master Josefine entered and cooked up some deliscious stakes for us. We also hade some pineappele, muschroom and potato salad together with a glass of something refreshing ;) Fist BBQ this year got a little burnt but it tasted really good still.

Jenny, Milo and Kenzo are taking a nice bike tour together.

Davis and Noah are hanging out waiting for some grubb.

Hungry!

Having some majskrok (cornpuff) as an appetizer. Yummo!

Fun with Milo


Look at his style! Totally relaxed ;)

Noah and Milo loves crawling under the bed but somtimes they get stuck under there or...




It's important to brush the little teeth so why not make it into a game!


Noah is showing off his tooth brush.
Since Noah and I are all moved out now we have moved in with Jenny, David and cousin Milo. That meens play, fun and advetures all day long for the boys. They take 2 long naps a day from getting all worn out playing so good together. We parents also have to take a couple of naps to be able to deal with the commotion going on with the to very wild and active boys. Noah took his first couple of steps the other day, 10 months and 9 days old. Way to go making his mommy proud!

Noah is wilder than wild



I didn't expect to find my son in the drawer the other day, getting into all the lids, but there he was ;) Noah's new nickname is Tarzan! Don't you think it suits him? He also learned how to climb up on the coffee table, which he now loves to do. Hmmm, this little boy is already making his mom's hair turn gray ;).

My social little butterfly



Noah and I went to my friend Malin and her twinboys Elton and Levis baptism. It was a very cute cermony in the church and afterwards we went to her moms house for some cake, cookies and other refreshments. Yummo! Thank you Malin and Daniel for letting me and my wild little son be a part of your beautiful boys day. Noah was behaving so good all day for his mommy. He is a real social butterlfy that loves being around people and make them laugh. He was crawlig around every where getting into places he wasn't supposed to get into. But that's ok! What else is a mommy to a 10 month old boy supposed to do than running around chasing after him?


Noah latest invention is to climb into the kitchen cabinets. Don't worry though, thay are all empty now when he knows how to open them and through everything out.


Lately Noah and I have borrowed Jenny's bike and Milo's bike seat a couple of times. We both love it. Noah laughes out loud and wawes to everybody if I tell him to. I get a little exercise too. A good combo. FYI: I have reached a weight loss of more than 10% and 21 lbs (9,5 kg) and 7,1 in (18 cm) around my waist ;)
We both miss our Bart a lot and is counting down for the next time we will see him. We are flying on May 8th if the volcano on Island will let us.

Where is daddy?



Even though Noah still is very young I do belive he misses his favorite dad very much. When somebody knocks on the door he quickly crawls over to see if daddy is there to play with him, pick him up or just comfort him when he is sad. I talk to him about daddy and he looks over at our wedding photo on the wall and starts waving to his daddy, his number one. I put the phone to his ear and let him talk to Bart and he is looking into the phone and giggles. Yesterday I bought him a shirt that says "I love dad" on it, he looks so cute in it. I also tried to show him where dad is on the globe but he rather wanted to put it into his mouth. Hmmm...silly boy ;) But the truth is that we do miss you Bart, a lot as a matter of fact! We are so proud of you getting this good job at US Airways as a Sr. Analyst. Soon we are going to be together again because as you know we are, BETTER TOGETHER!

Last night for Bart in Sweden



My wonderful husband Bart is leaving us for a while to go ahead with his career in America. We, Noah and I, are going to miss him like crazy. Bart and Noah have the best relationship you can imagine so it hurts me to have them seperate for a while. Noah and I are going to be fine though because we have eachother. But my little hubby, I love him so much. We are the beat of friends.

Power-walk and spring time


Hello my little sweetheart and blue-eyed boy. Noah is finally feeling a little better after a few days of fever and crankyness. It's not fun at all to see your little kid sick refusing to eat or drink anything. But he is on the way to recovery which is a relief for all of us.

The tinfoil is very fun to play with, especially to roll it all out.

The latest creation in my kitchen; Super healthy and delicious Omega 3 bread. Packed with slow carbs and good nuts and fibres. Keeps you tummy happy for a long time. Strongly recomended!

This was me last year. This year we are very far from being able to suntan, but now finally spring is in the air ;)

It's nice to live close to the ocean and feel the nice ocean breeze

Bart decided to skip the gym and join me for a power-walk this sunday. I am supposed to have a day off working out on Sundays, but I just had to get out of the house. I am too restless now a days, have too much energy to burn. Or as I learned lately; the more energy you use, the more you build up. Ohh well, we got dressed, packed the kid down in the stroller and went for a walk.

Noah figured out how to climb up the coach by the way (goodbye last little bit of freedom). I bet he will start climbing the curtains and swing in the chandelier any day now. I didn't know I got a little monkey in Noah ;)

There is hope that spring will come to Sweden after all. This flowers that we call Snowdropps is a good and sure sign. Welcome spring. Let me just remind you of last year around this time, I was 32 weeks pregnant with Noah, sun tanning on the balcony in bikini and tanning lotion. The snow just melted like last week this year. Wiered weather!

Momma is ready to get some execise done. Noah got cozy in the stroller instead and fell asleep.
Bart, my little sweeatheart. Soon we have been married for 5 years. How lucky am I to be married to my best friend? We have a sure little sign of our love in our cutiepie Noah.
You would think that efter 1,5 hrs of power walk we would be tired, but no. We decided to clean out the shed while Noah continued to sleep on the balcony. It was a very good and fun little day together.

time is flying by


Are these two kiddos alike or what? We got this cool hat and matching shoes for our little Noah. We thought it was time for him to start looking like a real cool guy and also to have something cool and comfy to walk around in now when Noah is getting closer and closer to walking. Or let me correct myself, run! Because with Noah's speed crawling around both Bart and I think Noah is going to skip walking and start run right away ;)


Noah likes to grab in his dad's big nose.

This is how I found Noah one day. All the toilet paper is on the ground and Noah is happily chewing on the roll. Hmmm...

The trash can is also fun to explore and especially to empty it out all over the bathroom floor.
Where is Nemo? Wait a minute, I found it in the toilet. Thank you Noah ;)
Our healthy life style continues. This is a typical dinner in the Mendonca residence lately: fresh salmon from the fish deli and a nice BIG sallad with lots of good stuff in. Doesn't it just look great? We think so. We are buying more and more organic products. It tastes so much better, it's better for the enviroment and it's better for our bodies. Everybody should just go organic. It's a good thing!
This is a typical evening snack: a couple or dark or white chocolates, fresh veggies and fruits (pineapple). It's so delicious and good for you. 100% guilt-free!

From the moment this little boy opens his big blue eyes he is ultra-energetic (read wild and happy) and runs around playing and exploring everyting he can get his fingers on. So whenever his little body has had enough it falls asleep right on the floor. This is Noah very tired taking a quick little nap. Cute!
