Breakfast with a norwegian friend from uni

Sofia woke up at 6.15am and we got ready and walked to a cafe where we met up with a girlfriend from uni. She is pregnant now :). It was a very nice breakfast and we took Sofia to the park for a little while afterwards so she could have some walking/moving around time. The Sofia and I walked home, and I had her in bed by 9.45am. She fell asleep with no issues and slept till almost 11am.

When Sofia woke up we played for a bit. Sofia started kicking ‘the cheese’ around (blow up cheese we brought from Switzerland). So we went up and down, her holding my fingers and kicking this cheese around. Soo funny. She was really kicking it! I instantly though Arjan would have been proud if he’d seen it :). Then I tried to get some housework out of the way. Not easy with Sofia and Pablo hanging around my feet ha ha. At one stage I got Pablo out of the house so it would go a bit quicker. Sofia was with me every step of the way however. Then she had a bit of a play on her own (with Pablo guarding). Sofia had a little tumble at the baby gate again. Her face hit the bars and she got a little red mark under her right eye. Sofia had her afternoon nap at 2pm, but only slept for 30min.

When Sofia woke up I took her and Pablo to the park. Pablo got to run around with a dog for a little while, and he scared the living daylights out of a little 4-5 year old girl. He ran up to this little girl and licked her ear (or tried to), she jumped back and screamed. The mum picked her up and the dads said not to worry and that he thought the dog was harmless and cute. I was mortified however. It was a good trip other than that though. I threw the ball with Pablo for a bit and Sofia and I went for a long walk. She really did well. She has picked up her walking speed as well now, we’re almost running. We had a bit more of a play before I started dinner. I put Sofia in the walker (thinking she’d be a bit more shielded from Pablo), and she took off in that thing, but she got sick of it after a little while and I had to put her in the carrier to get the food ready. Here is a video of Sofia going for a walk in the walker. During dinner we facetimed with Morfar Erik. It was very nice :). Sofia loves picking away at her food. She also gave Pablo quite a few pieces today. Afterwards she put her hands up for me to pick her up – guess she has figured out a way of saying she’s done now. I put her in the crate to get organised for her bedtime, but she started crying straight away so I picked her up and put her back into the carrier. After everything was finished I went through the nighttime routine and I got her in bed by 7.10pm… She was almost asleep when Mike got home, but then protested for a few seconds before falling asleep.

At night she woke up suddenly with a whinge. She sat up… tried to comfort herself, but then started crying so Mike went in and got her back to sleep.
