Freja's 3rd Birthday

Freja opening up some of her birthday gifts.

Amadeus telling us about the world

Vidar is learning skills

Yesterday Vidar helped me make applesauce by cutting up apple wedges into smaller pieces all by himself with a sharp knife. My little guy is growing up. *dramatic sniffle*  He was very proud of himself and talked about it off and on throughout the day and before falling asleep last night. Today we will be making muffins with the applesauce.

Spring is in the aiiiir!

So Magne Amadeus is soon 9 months old! He has 8 little teeth. He is still an always happy little guy and adores his older siblings. Vidar absolutely loves him and Freyja and tries his best to help them both out and play with them etc.    Amadeus had been scooting forward since 4 months old and around 7.5 months he started actually crawling teh right way - up on all fours and a couple weeks after that he started pulling himself up to standing. Now he is cruising around the furniture, hanging onto it for support while he walks around it. He's also let go without knowing and stayed up for a couple seconds before grabbing the furniture again. He enjoys banging silverware on bowls and pots and pans.

Vidar and Freyja just had a haircut today. They've started showing interest in climbing trees. We bought a play crossbow with suction cups on the arrows for Vidar and he loves shooting at the target. Of course, Freyja has to do it as well. :D

Mika has been enjoying his paternity leave and seems to really appreciate getting to know the children better and caring for them while I am away for up to 5 hours for going to physical therapy & back.  I am making progress with physical therapy, but still have at least 6 weeks left.
