Cup On Head

Yep, Milton´s getting priiitty good at balancing cups and stuff on his head.

The New Horse

... it´s here. The new horse has arrived and it´s nickname is "Tina".

Still Doing His Business

.. in the livingroom. We´ll let him continue for a while until he´s in a "rythm". As soon as Milton´s comfortable with using the potty, every time, we will start making him doing his business in the bathroom.

Dad´s Job

Today the boys and I had to go to my job because I needed to transfer money to mom´s bank account. She went to buy a new horse today and I needed to pitch in. I had my bank code thingy (to access my bank online) at work so 10 am on a saturday morning I was in the city at my job with the boys.

Denver still has the rash and I also noticed that his eye-whites were red. One eye more then the other.

No Shame, No Shame At All

I met up with my perfect family today for lunch. We were going to the jeweller for a refitting of Elina´s ring. She told me a funny story:

Milton was playing in his room, naked. Something happened and Milton came out and walked to Elina saying:
-"aoo, snoppen, aoo" (aoo, penis, aoo)

Then he said:
-"båssa, båssa" (babytalk for maybe "blåsa".. blow)

Elina blowed on his penis so his "pain" would go away.

Then Milton said:
-"Nej, nej, båssa, båssa" (no, no, båssa, båssa)

Elina:
-"Blåsa?"

Milton:
-"nej båssa"

Elina thought for a second and said:
-"Pussa ?" (kiss ?)

Milton answered:
-"Ja, båssa" (Yes, båssa=pussa=kiss)

Funny funny.. hahaha.. oh, and as a note.. Elina said she couldn´t reach it and he walked away.. Children really don´t have a clue :).. But it was a funny story.

Waffle Day

It´s time for the annual Waffle Day in Sweden. I myself loves ´em and Milton seems to feel the same way. He ate a lot, almost as much as he does with pancakes.

Old Photos

Found some old photos I like that I haven´t posted. They´re from january this year, about when Milton turned 2. Both our boys were playing/rolling around in the sofa.

Loving them both! :)

Sick Visit

This evening grandfather Börje and Marianne came by with a few presents. They even got easter eggs. Milton opened his egg before I reacted so he snatched a few pieces of candy. His first candy. I didn´t even get it on camera :( Well, Milton loved candy but he didn´t get any more candy. We distracted him during the evening so he didn´t ask for any more. Denver barely understood he got presents.. he will soon enough :)

Denver´s sick. He´s got a cold and a cough. He´s got an upset stomach. He poops all the time and he´s a bit cranky. He didn´t want any food so finally we gave him formula instead.

Milton loves to put on a diaper.. This is Milton´s TA-DAAA!! gesture when he is finished :)

Milton looks like grandfather.. but with hair and no wrinkles ;-)

Two Tubs

Getting clean together. Denver in his own silver tub and Milton in his red. A great investment to buy another plastic tub for the boys. It weren´t many weeks ago Milton said "aooo" pointing at his penis.. which I understood since Denver´s foot was on it. Denver is also so much more stable in the tub. I remember when he could barely balance himself when he sat. Now he plays and splashes just like Milton. But Denver is sick. He´s got some problem with his stomach so he poops about every hour. He poops if he farts and Yes he did poop in the water. First time for all of us :)

A Day With Sleepy Franz

Today we met up with godfather and his family, Becca and Franz. We met up in Stockholm at the "stadshuset" (city hall) around 15:00 (3pm) and then we just took a walk, a long walk. We finally ended up at a great coffee shop "Thelins" at Fridhemsplan. It was made for strollers and kids with lots of space (but oddly no baby table for changing diapers).

Before we took the tube to the city Milton wanted to recycle some paper. He´s so short it almost looks like he´s trying to make a basketball shot. :)

Stream It!

And Milton has done it again.. Just when I thought he would take forever to start using the potty again he started using it again. He just don´t want to sit on it :).. weird.. or is it ?.. Well, he is an excellent sharpshooter and now he can run around without diaper again. He still have to practise nr 2 but as long as nr 1 is working again, nr 2 can´t be far away.

If Mom Can, So Can I !

Milton went thru our shoes. I guess my boring sneakers are no match for mom´s high heals. They got colour, shape and just looks weird :)

Checking out Milton´s teeth..

Mom & Dad Equals 1

Only three months for the rings to be chosen, designed, ordered and delivered. Well, mine wasn´t really designed but both of Elina´s rings are done after our own wishes. The wedding ring is ready on monday next week. We got to see it today but it hadn´t had it´s last polish yet so we only got to see what it almost looks like.. kind of :)

Anywho.. We are finally "officially" engaged and this is what it looks like.

Milton & Denver just looking on while we are looking at our rings.

Coffee Break

Mom, Marre, Me & the boys went to a mall close by (Kista Centrum). Walking, talking and taking a break in a café. Milton had his first "damsugare" (vacum) but he didn´t like it so he ate mom´s carrot cake (morotskaka). Denver got baby snacks and played with his new toothpaste.

Denver Walking Tall

Denver has made another progress. He has been using the walker a few times before but not for long and not on tape. He gets better and better with every try. I´m guessing he´ll follow his brothers footsteps and walk when he´s one year old. Milton walks right next to his brother the whole time :)

Ring In The City

Today mom and the boys took the tube to my job. We had lunch at a nearby foodcourt (Milton has a fever so he barely ate) and then we walked over to the jeweller. Our ingagement rings are done and we needed to try them on. Sadly both were to big so we have to go back in about a week. At least I got to hang out with my family for a while :)

Denver drinking from a glass. No messing or choking. First for me :)

Milton trying on jail time at the jeweller.

An Evening For Baba

Today Baba bozorg´s family and friends said goodbye to him. It was a calm and uneventful evening except for one incident that hopefully won´t escalate to something unnecessary. This evening my heart goes to Mama bozorg. She has lost her love and the possibility for future happy events with the man of her heart. She sat by the table in front of the picture of her dead husband. I can´t imaging what she feels like. It seems that all other things, right now, are so trivial and irrelevant. My heart breaks when I see such sorrow.

I hope Baba looks down on his family and feels proud about what he sees, now and in the future. His family is his legacy. I know he´ll be in mine and Elina´s heart for the rest of our life. Milton and Denver barely got to know him but they will be able to see the short period of their mutual time together by using this blog.

R.I.P Baba, we won´t forget you.

Milton eating chicken, kebab, rice and onions.

Denver fell a sleep when it started to get late.

Danger! Danger!

The boys were playing together in Milton´s room. Yes, it is true Denver hasn´t got his own room yet. If we move soon we will have two rooms for two boys but if we are "stuck" here for a while Milton´s room will turn into the boys room.

They played with balls and cars. While I was taking pictures Milton suddenly stood on the parkingbuilding looking for more toys while Denver crawled under him. I quickly told him to get down while I took the evidence for the blog.

I got to keep my eyes on them in the future.

Milton´s nice head shape :)

An accident waiting to happen! This is the second time I see Milton taking something and using it as leverage to get something. The other day he took a chair to the light flicker and turned on the light in the bathroom.

Yellow Balloon

Static makes the world go round!.. in Milton´s head. First he looked surprised when it stuck on the wall, later he just had fun with it. I showed him how static works. Yes, I did use Denver´s hair since I nor Milton has any hair ourselves. Denver didn´t seem to mind since he tried to catch the balloon himself but just in case... Sorry Denver.

Milton throwing the balloon at me.

Stuck on the wall.

Same Procedure As Last Time

It´s bedtime for the boys. Milton´s head is still hairless :) I think he looks great. Denver´s the king of teeth brushing while Milton tries to fake it everytime.
