Sunny Days!!!

  

We have had some great warm and sunny days but today it was a little chilly again and cloudy. Pretty nice I must say after some very warm days. It always makes me feel bad if I spend a lot of time inside when the weather is gorgeous. Here in Sweden you never know how many nice warm days the summer will have in stock and Swedes tend to run outside as soon as there is sunshine. We really appreciate the sun :-)

Marlee has used his inflatable pool during the warm days and he really enjoys it!!

Bored!

  

We have also practiced walking a lot, which is so much fun. He hardly crawls at all now. I need to keep a close eye on him all the time now but it is also making some things easier when he can walk on his own. Going in the stroller for a long time is not popular at all anymore, unless it is naptime... Jackie, the black and yellow shoes you gave Marlee is perfect to walk in!

Today we took a walk down to the mail box together. Here in Sweden people normally have their mailbox next to their house, just like in the States, but in "summer house neighbourhoods", like our, they are sometimes gathered in one spot.

(he walked up there and stood in this position
and then laughed and did it again :-)

I will have some friends over tomorrow for coffee ("fika") so tonight I spent time baking. Something I really enjoy when I have some time! Alex took care of taking Marlee to sleep which took a loooong time today
