Visiting friends

Pingu and Pinga got invited for lunch at their friends' place. They have a son who is a year older than Momo-chan. Pinga thought Momo-chan might be inspired by him and start walking but it didn't happen this time. It was Pinga's first time to take a photo of self-standing Momo-chan

Rainy outside

It's rainy outside today as well. All of us are longing for sunshine and warmth.

Something in common

Just like me, Momo-chan likes boxes. Not sure if he can get out of it easily though.

Sharing bed

In the mornings it is common that Momo-chan comes to sleep in the big bed. While he is sleeping it should be safe to also be on the bed.

Momo-chan experienced his first hair cut this evening. They decided to trim his hair with the trimmer. Pinga thinks it turned out to be shorter than expected but it's summer so it should be good.

Walking with the car

Since Sunday, Momo-chan has been practice walking by pushing this car. It's amazing how quickly he learns new things.

Per Tutti

Pingu and Pinga were at their favourite ice cream shop. As it was sunny, there were many people there. Momo-chan tasted a bit of their ice creams.

Pinga and Pingu are watching world cup final of women's football. They got worried when U.S. made a goal but Japan caught up and now it's extended game. Go Japan!!

Vacuum cleaning

Pingu was vacuum cleaning the house and Mono-chan was following him. I don't understand why Momo-chan likes to chase it. It's scary...

Rock the chair

Momo-chan was rocking the chair. He would be happy sitting on it when he gets bigger.

Big rhubarb

Pingu and Pings got these big rhubarbs from Pingu's brother's summer house. Pinga will make a pie again.

Present for Momo-chan

Pinga bought these Mumin cups for Momo-chan and he seemed to like them and playing with them.

Taking underground

Smoothies!

Pingu and Pinga really liked smoothies at Cubana. One was passion fruit based and the other was mango based.

Dinner at Cubana

I'm at home with Pingu's sister while they're in London. They had dinner at a Cuban restaurant. Main dishes were tasty but they thought the highlight was smoothies. They had two jars of smoothie!

That is the name of the place they had lunch. Steak and Guinness pie was very tasty. But Momo-chan was too tired to enjoy tasting it. He fell asleep right after the lunch.

As Pinga had to wait in line for an hour at the immigration, it took long time to reach the hotel. Momo-chan was happy finally able to crawl and checking everything out in their room.

Artichoke California style

Pinga's mom has wide variety of cooking repertoire. She cooked California style artichoke for dinner and everybody loved it.

Home sweet home

It's nice to be home and now since we have a garden I can take walks all by myself. Sometimes I get visits by my neighbor cat Knut.

Temaki zushi dinner

As Pingu's sister came, Pinga's mother prepared special sushi dinner. It's a do it yourself type of sushi and you pick the contents, put it in the rice and seaweed and roll. There were three kinds of tuna (Binchou, Kuro and Meji) brought from Tokyo. Very nice!

Ghost Momo-chan

Wing's sister came to visit from Stockholm. Momo-Chan was playing with her.
