Life Lately

Another life lately post...

A dear friend of mine sent a gift to Alexander all the way from the states! It is absolutely beautiful and the only personalized item we have for him so far. I'm not gonna lie...I may have shed a few tears when I opened it! Thank you Molly!

It's been unseasonably warm this summer, and especially the past few weeks, so I decided to take advantage of the weather and give Alexander some "naked baby" time on our deck. He seemed to enjoy the warm sun and we spent our time making sure we were out of the "splash zone."

We went to Gladmat, Scandinavia's largest food festival, in downtown Stavanger this weekend. As usual, Alexander was the perfect baby. He slept for several hours while we chowed down on Norsk strawberries, brisket tacos, gourmet burger bites, BBQ Thai chicken, and fiskeboller. Then he woke up just in time to watch us chow down some more...ice cream, churros, and some wine to wash it all down. I can't believe how chill he is when we are out. I'm so proud to be his mama :) (Sorry no food pics, we were too busy stuffing our faces!)

We went to a party this weekend with the couples we met at our birthing class. We all had boys within 2 weeks of each other and we all chose the name Alexander. However, it must be said that OUR Alexander was first born and hands down the cutest! It was an international mix of people (as most social events are here)...people from Australia, England, Scotland. Bulgaria, Portugal, and of course Norway and the US, My parents and Arthur enjoyed Ivar's (our host) home brewed "baby beer" for the occasion!
