Allt gar om man bara vill!

two months old! oh my!

every morning after the "last night feed" jade ends up crawling in bed with mommy & daddy. considering she can't actually crawl it is safe to assume she is methodically plopped into bed for sufficient cuddling time. it seems both calle & i can't get enough of her!

although jade is a little lady, she hasn't quite learned the importance of table manners...or any manners for that matter.

jade was extremely happy after her morning feeding...or perhaps she simply loved the giraffe bib. who knows?

on jade's two month birthday [yesterday] she enjoyed a flying lesson courtesy of papa. she was very impressed!

and to carry on the swedish christmas tradition of baking, we were certain to include jade in our efforts. here she is checking on the progress with daddy...

although jade rules the world, and our hearts, we did finally enjoy a day without jade. we were lucky enough to get great tickets to the chargers/chiefs game last sunday & were fortunate enough to have our wonderful friend suzy take care of our baby girl. overall, it was a great success [including the chargers enormous defeat of the chiefs].

calle & i are absolutely head over heels in love with our little girl & have found such a festive spirit in her first holiday season. we hope you all are enjoying this special time of year as well.

love,

nicole, calle, jade & ingo

good morning!

maybe if you get lucky i might smile for you right now...
i'm thinking about it...
ok, ok! enough already! here you go! a smile just for you!

sushi | snooze | smile

life with jade is incredible. every day is filled with new facial expressions & entirely new emotions for me & calle. seeing jade smile brings as much happiness to my heart as any memory in life thus far. at six weeks many changes are taking place; she is finally taking one long nap each day allowing me enough time to make [and eat!] breakfast or lunch depending on the time of day she decides to take her "power snooze". i am also able to fit in a decent shower & time to straighten up the house a bit. six weeks does not mark a milestone for baby alone; it is now that i am able to begin a real fitness routine without any concern for injury. the doctor gave me the green light yesterday to return to life "as normal"...although the new normal is certainly different than pre-baby!

jade is clearly wondering what she gets while mom enjoys her sushi!!?

proof of the power snooze!
