4 teethers and a cutie pie

Henrik and I met up with some friends today at the park. Most of them were teething and needed to burn off some energy. Henrik crawled all over the place and took a great nap when he got home.
I have found myself becoming more attached to my camera. It's a hard balance though. I want to play with Henrik, talk to the other moms and take lots of candid shots of the kiddos. It is way easier said than done.
I don't know where the picture taking is leading me, but it sure is fun.

They loved the bench swing.

I think Hadley looks very cute in Henrik's hat!

Adaora is adorable!

Already sweet talking the ladies!

I have to admit I love this one. It's total chaos but very cute chaos.

Ruby is just so happy, look at the big gummy smile.

Audrey looks like she has a secret.

Peek-a-Boo Henrik sees you!

Sprinklers at the Domain

Vi åt middag ute på CPK igår med några kompisar, och efteråt gick vi över till en liten fontän-lekplats dom har i området. Här är några bilder därifrån!

Vi har börjat prova SmugMug för att dela med oss av våra bilder. Vi har bara laddat upp några album hittills, men det som finns där kan ni hitta på http://bno.smugmug.com/. Det finns även fler bilder från igår där.



Last night we had dinner with some friends at CPK at The Domain. Afterwards we stopped by the sprinkler play area right next door, here are a few pictures from there!

We are trying out SmugMug for photo sharing. We've only got a few albums there so far, but they can be found at http://bno.smugmug.com/. There are more pictures from the sprinkler park there as well.

Back yard fun!

Efter middagen idag gick vi ut på baksidan, Henrik tog ett litet dopp och vi lekte lite i gräset (som behöver klippas). Det blev en hel bunt med bra bilder, klicka på bilden nedan för att se resten av dom!

After dinner tonight we went out back for Henrik to get a little swim, and for some fun in the grass (yes, it needs mowing). We got a bunch of nice pictures, click the one below to see the rest!



Nellie loves Henrik, but this is a bit much. We stop it when we see it (unless Brandy is trying to photograph it, I guess....)

Dipping toast, peanut butter and chocolate chip cookie!

Jag undrar varför det blir så mycket bilder (och bloggande) av Henrik när han äter. Mycket är det nog för att det är kul att se när han provar och lär sig nya saker, och just vid matdags är det enkelt att hinna gå och hämta kameran medans han sysselsätter sig. Dessutom är det av någon anledning underhållande att se precis hur kladdig han kan bli ibland. Oftast är han mycket prydligare när han äter än vad vi visar här.

Why is it that we keep blogging about Henrik eating all the time? Well, it's neat to see him pick up new things and try out new flavors, and I guess it's easy to actually get photos of it since he's in one location and normally occupies himself while you can get the camera. There's just something about how messy he can get sometimes. Most of the time he is much tidier when he eats than what we show here.

Något som han börjat med på senaste är att han vill doppa sin mat i något. Vi vet inte riktigt varifrån han fått det, han bara började med det en dag. Här var det rostat bröd i sin keso och mandarinskål:

He has started dipping food. We don't know just where he got that from, but here it is toast in his cottage cheese and mandarin orange bowl:





Idag fick Henrik smaka jordnötssmör för första gången! Han är gammal nog, och vi har inte introducerat något annat speciellt senaste tiden så vi kan vara observanta för nya allergier, etc.

We also decided that today was the first time we're going to try peanut butter! He's old enough, and we haven't introduced any other new foods lately so we're at a good time to catch any allergies if they occur.



Vi grillade revben till middag ikväll, och hade ett par kompisar över till middag. Efter middagen var det baddags, sedan sade dom att dom visst hade efterrätt med sig, och ville att Henrik skulle få smaka han med. Så här började det:

We made ribs tonight and had some friends over for dinner. After the meal it was bath time for Henrik, and when we got back from that they said they brought dessert and wanted him to taste some. This is how it started out:



Sedan såg det snabbt ut såhär, och jag meddelade att Brandy fick ta hand om tvätt den här gången eftersom jag just badat honom:

And then it looked like this, at which point I told Brandy that she was responsible for cleanup since I just gave him a bath:



Det tog dock inte mer än en minut eller två innan det såg ut såhär, och sedan var loppet kört. Han ser renare ut i bilderna än han var, det blev ett andra bad ikväll...

It didn't take more than a minute or two until it looked like this, and then the game was lost. He looks tidier in the pictures than he really was, and it ended up being a two bath night...

Mini Taco night!

Tonight I had the great idea of making Henrik mini tacos! He loves to eat what we eat, not just the same thing, but the same way.

Case in point, earlier this week we had fish stick sandwiches for lunch and I just gave him the sticks. Not acceptable. He took the sandwich out of my hand and ate it!

So I made three small tacos out of one flour tortilla and he was thrilled.

Bathtime fun

Rub a Dub Dub we have a mohawk in the tub! I think his hair might be getting too long the hawk went all floppy!




Catching up

So it seems like we got home and we've completely forgot to update the blog.

We've been pretty busy! Saturday we took a nice lunch picnic in the heat, we went to Old Settlers Park and hung out under a shady tree for a while. Sunday was a slow day around the house, and I finally fixed the ceiling fan in the nursery. How long does it keep that name anyway, when does it just become Henrik's bedroom?

We did fix up the pictures from the California trip (Aperture is much nicer to use to do that than iPhoto), and new versions are available at MobileMe here. Some of them are below as well!

Curious George and Water works.

Today Mama and I met up with her friend Mitra and went to lunch then the San Jose Children's Museum. I ate a chicken taco and some beans for lunch, and I totally impressed Mitra with my fork skills!

The museum had an exhibit with Curious George! Mama clicked a few pictures of the monkey and I. There were so many neat areas to play in, I never knew museums were fun! I think we will have to check out the Austin ones when we get home.



One section had steps just my size, and I could walk up them! I walked down the bumpy ramp side too. They even had railings my height! How cool is that?



There was a section where you can make your own pizza (play food). I tried to eat the broccoli and was seriously surprised that it was fake. They shouldn't do that to kids!
In the same area there was an old fashioned farm truck that I could get in and drive. I took to it like a duck to water! I even tried to beep the horn, but it didn't work.






We finished off in the water display. I sure did get wet! There were aprons, but I think the kids wearing those got even more wet than I did. Mama just brought me a change of clothes. I am a kid and I'm supposed to get dirty right? I was so wet, the camera had to be put away!
