    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.

    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 start of a new day

  • 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…

  • In the dark

    Dagbladet had an article today about how to take the best baby photos. I’ve got a lot of improving to do, lucky I’ve got my own model to practice on:)

  • 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:)

  • Sleeping beauty

    I keep telling myself that I have to stop bombarding the net with photos of the wee man. And then I take another photo that needs publishing. OK, different topic tomorrow. For today though, here is another photo of Alexander.

  • The first 24 hours

    The first 24 hours

    It’s difficult to describe how great it feels to see a wee man that you’ve helped to create lying there. I know I’m getting all sentimental and gushing here, but it really is quite amazing. Well, except for being woken up every 2 hours all night. That’s not what we agreed! A gentle cough would…
