We were in Stavanger for Christmas, and we had a really good time. Alexander had a great time with his cousin, and even though he’s a good deal younger he still seemed to have a lot to say:)
From todays photoshoot
The last day of being able to borrow the amazing 50mm f/1.2 L USM, at least for now. The wee man did a spot of modelling again, and this time he was crawling around the place and feeding himself milk. (often, more milk goes outside than inside him….)
Testing a lens
Working for Canon certainly has its benefits. I got to borrow a 50mm f/1.2 L today and I’m going out tomorrow morning to have some fun with it. Of course, I couldn’t wait until tomorrow so the wee man had to do a bit of modelling this evening.
Things to do on a rainy day
The weather has been atrocious today so what to do? I’ve toyed with the idea of trying to take some stylised baby photos like you see in photographers gallery windows. I’ve got a long way to go, but this is a first effort.
Happy chappy
We’ve had a bit of a family weekend. Today we went for a nice walk through some backwoods here in Bærum, and the wee man seemed to enjoy it.
Behind bars
We went for Alexanders 3 month check-up today and amazingly he’s grown even more! From 3.5kg at birth and 49cm, he’s now 7.51kg and 62cm. He’s more than doubled his body weight. He also got his first vaccines today which may account for him looking worried before we went to the doctors.
Some smiles on a Thursday
Alexander has been lent a really cool bouncy chair by auntie Anne-Grete and uncle Haakon. It plays music when he stamps on special footpads and it has blinky lights too. Needless to say he loves it. Let’s hope he doesn’t get bored anytime soon.
The old and the new
We were in Rollag last weekend visiting Alexander’s great grandparents. Olav is 89 and has worked as a farmer all his life, and his hands are huge. He held Alexander in one hand and the poor wee boy almost disappeared!
Playpen
My god how time flies. He’s two weeks old, and has grown by 2cm, gained almost a kilo, and is eating like it was going out of fashion. Takes after his father there then. Anyway, we have been lent a playpen and he seems to enjoy hanging out in it and looking at the world [...]
Safe
So, 2 days without a photo of the wee man, and the relatives are getting restless. Auntie was here and he seemed to like her a lot. So much, in fact, that he fell asleep on her:)
