Happy 16 months Max and Sigge!

16 months old today, we had this impromput shoot outside on our deck. More to come :)

Springtime in Blägda

So I am back after quite a while, with so many stories and SO many photos! This is a sneak peek at spring wetaher in Småland, but i have much more. So hopefulyy i will have time to update you all a little more regularly.

Budding artists

When "mormor"Christina and I came to pick up the little rascals at preschool yesterday we were welcomed by these two enthusiastic little artists, who were busy painting easter eggs. It was quite a sight! Sigge proceeded to dip his hand into the jar of blue paint and then suck on that hand. Amazing though how they dipped the little brushes in that paint jar and then "beat" on the egg with the paint.

This is one PROUD mamma!!!

Max and Sigge's first pieces of art show a lot of natural talent and potential. Max tapped into his intense energy and perhaps invisioned his emotions when Sigge steals his toys, while I believe Sigge was inspired by the hints of spring that we see around us, new colors and lights strokes which invoke hope!

You can click on the image to enlarge it if you want to analyze it better :)

It was pure joy hanging these up on the fridge... who knew this was going to be such a proud moment??

Outside play

Um, yeah, it's still winter here, yuck! BUt at least we have the right clothes to play outside, which is actually really fun.

"eating" on their own

yes, they look a lot alike. yes, they are identical twins. yes, we have our hands full.

this photo just makes me really happy.

this meal tested their mamma's patience, but they sure look cute when they are messy! note to self, make something less colorful when the minis practice eating on their own.

Happy 15 months Minis!

if you think it's easy to get these two to sit still for a photos like this, think again. they look so calm here, but boy oh boy, if you only knew....

here is a little behind the scenes shot to show you what it looks like most of the time. poor Dolly was left behind as Max and Sigge both made a run for it!

15 months old!

a little family photo booth portrait

oops

boy did i feel bad when i had forgotten to turn on the baby moniter INSIDE and all of a sudden heard faint crying while I was working at my computer (during the minis mid-day nap). i ran out to find the minis screaming, poor little dears. afterwards, we bonded in the pit, where we just lay and cuddled for like 20 minutes. they also forgave me for not coming out right away, thank goodness....

Flu - again

After having a grand old time in this sea of balls, and licking half of them, the minis are down for the count again (what did we expect?!?!?!). It's been a rough night but they are feeling a bit better today. No preschool for a few days though.

PS i am going to guess that the poor fellow getting dunked by Max is not feeling so hot today either.

question to you all

I know this is their mamma talking here, but is it me or have these little guys gotten REALLY CUTE???

New sleep times

Not all of us are finding it easy with the new preschool nap times. Poor little monkey couldn't hold out until after lunch.

Pappa's hat

when pappa was out of town, the minis loved trying on his hat, it was really sweet actually.

peekaboo

i love how max and sigge "framed" themselves here in the waiting room at the nurse's office :)

14 months old

WHO are they wearing you ask? It's UNI... adorable new comfy pants from Lene!
