Freja has decided she's had it with diapers and potty learned herself maybe 6 weeks ago. I still put a diaper on for bedtime as I'm just too tired to help her remove her pjs so she can go pee in the morning. She asks for dipes when she needs to poo although she tries to sit down on the potty first usually. We're very pleased that we'll probably have only one baby in diapers when this lil one arrives in July! She's recently become obsessed with flowers and butterflies. She's got all her teeth as far as I can tell and she's still nursing occasionally despite my milk being gone for the past few weeks. I'm hoping she will nurse for a bit longer after the baby arrives in order to help me avoid engorgement and mastititus during those first 3 months post partum.
Vidar learned to ride his tricycle April 25th. He's so proud of himself and takes every opportunity to be outside on his trike and explore the area. We'll be taking him around and showing him where he's NOT to go when mama and pappa are not with him. He's been great at cycling around the area in front of the house where we can see him. He's also recently started being quite the polite boy in thanking everyone for everything; it's rather funny and sweet of course.
They both are starting to enjoy helping us out in the kitchen and with cleaning and not minding picking up their toys when we ask them to help out.
Pregnancy is going great. I'm now 30 weeks along and the baby is quite strong and fairly active. I've not felt sick or puked in a couple weeks now and am able to eat quite a good variety of food again. In fact I feel spoiled this week from our menu! YUM YUM! My only complaints right now are the soreness in my pelvis from everything getting loose in preparation for the birth.
I love that spring is here and the long sunny days and warmth feel great! Mika is headed to Paris, France, this weekend with work. I'm envious, but hope he enjoys it.
