Happy Anniversary to us!

Today me & Teek celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary. Teek took the day off (and tomorrow!) and off we went to Bath, Somerset. We were debating wether to go or not since BBC Weather forecast said it would be heavy rain today, but we took the risk and drove off. It turned out they were completely wrong, the sun was shining most of the day with just a few clouds, so the weather was perfect. Bath is a lovely little town, very old & historical (roman times) and we saw some nice sights. Unfortunately we couldn't go to any spa as they won't allow babies! Which is understandable I guess... The whole point of going to a spa is to relax and forget about stress etc (including screaming babies).

So, lovely day in Bath - that's the furtherest I've been from London in the UK! And I've lived here 2 1/2 years... Need to do more day trips I think!!

Food!

Yesterday I gave Annika baby food. I wanted to do it myself but since our hob doesn't work I went and bought some jars of baby food, flavour potato, carrot and parsnip. She loved it!! I'll upload a picture 'cause she looked soo messy, there were food everywhere, all over her face (even in her nose) hands, her clothes, my clothes... So today, on her name day (in Sweden) we might celebrate with some mashed banana. :)

Update again

Lots has been happening lately, the main things are me & Annika went to Sweden for Easter, which was lo-ve-ly! Nice to spend some time with family & friends, and to enjoy the swedish country side. We even saw the real easter bunny (or, maybe just a normal one...) and a (easter?) pig running outside the house. 

When we got back Teek had moved the last bits over to the house and made it ready to move in to, so now we're finally in! It's quite a few little things to do but nothing too major (except for garden), I'm spending the days cleaning/unpacking. But it's really really good to be here now, in our own home! It's a great little street too, with lots of families with babies. And there's a park just next to us - actually I might take Annika tomorrow to go on the baby swing...

I'll upload some photos of Sweden + house soon!

Update

Lately I've been down quite a lot down at the hose, helping out (or, doing what I can - Annika has a tendency to cry when we go down to the house!) and now it's pretty much done! It's just the garden that isn't finished, but we're gonna do that slowly this spring/summer. So when me & Annika are back from Sweden we're moving in! Yeeey! Super-exciting!

The last couple of days Annika has been sick, she's got a cold and has been sniffly and runny eyes. I guess we've been lucky that she hasn't been sick at all until now, when I've spoken to other mums a few of them has said they've never been to the doctor as often as now with a baby. I think Annika is a strong little Viking! :)
