Jolly toddler

Momo-chan received some nice clothes as present from a friend of Pingu and Pinga. Today was the first time for Momo-chan for trying on this T-shirt. It says Jolly Toddler and is quite cool.

Bathing

Momo-chan rather likes bathing I think. He is not screaming and he even smiles sometimes.

Through the cat door

I enjoy sleeping on Pingu and Pinga's bed until quite late in the day. On the other side of this cat door is the rest of the apartment and I run the risk of bumping into guests or screaming Momo-chan so I like to stay on the safe side.

Resting on the couch

It is nice to strech out on the couch. Pinga and Momo-chan are joining me in resting on the couch a lot.

Toilet trainer

Pingu and Pinga received a very nice gift from their friends. It's a toilet trainer for Momo-chan!

Sheep

Momo-chan and Pinga passed by sheep. There was one goat too. Looked a bit lonely by himself...

Taking a walk

Momo-chan and Pinga went out for a walk. It was not so warm but sun was shining from time to time.

Girls night

Pinga went out by herself for the first time after Momo-chan has arrived. She and her friends cooked dinner and watched an old American TV series "Bewitched".

Babybjörn babysitter

Pingu just got home with something new for Momo-chan. Well, it is actually used but anyway. It is a Babybjörn babysitter which is a kind of a rocking chair for babies. When Momo-chan moves the seat rocks gently and soothes him. Hopefully he will like it.

Cute gifts from Pinga uncle and aunt

There was a package today from the USA. It was from Pinga uncle and aunt who sent Momo-chan some very nice pajamas and some DVDs. Momo-chan is really enjoying his new outfit as you can see.

Falling asleep in the Manduca

Momo-chan has trouble sleeping these days but one good way is when Pingu carries Momo-chan in the Manduca. The key is to walk around and not sit or stand still. After a couple of minutes he usually falls asleep.

Mongolian spot?

Momo-chan had a bath the other night and Pinga was curious to see if Momo-chan has a mongolian spot. There is hardly anything visible but maybe there is something there?

New hill in the making

Momo-chan and Pinga took a walk together with a friend and his son. They went to see a site that the bulldozer is making a new hill. It looked pretty steep. It was not a paved road there and the baby stroller was shaky but Momo-chan kept sleeping.

In the car

Pinga and Momo-chan went to visit Pinga's friend. It was his 5th time to be in the car.

Taking a walk

Pingu and Pinga had lunch at their friends place. After a nice lunch, they took a walk.

Fish gratin

Pingu made fish gratin today. It was quite tasty and Pinga approved of it being cooked again :).

I'm thinking...

Momo-chan with yet another one of his cute "I'm thinking" poses.

Moomin themed "fika"

Fika is a very important Swedish word. It means to have something to drink together with some kind of pastry. Most Swedish people drink coffee but tea or juice is pretty common fika beverages.

For this fika Pingu made his chocolate lime cake again. The plates and cups were all in Moomin theme. I was not given any sweets or drink but after the guest left I sniffed the leftovers. Pingu and Pinga friends brought a cute Totoro baby gift but the best part was that they announced that they will also be having a baby (in october)!

Pingu baby photo

This is a photo of Pingu as a baby. Pinga thinks Pingu and Momo-chan are look-alikes. Maybe so, what do you think?

Afternoon nap

Momo-chan has been having tough time getting a good sleep these days. As you can see, he slept well on Pinga's chest this afternoon. Well, I have no problem sleeping but it's a different story when Momo-chan screams...

19 degrees C!

Spring has come! It was cloudy but warm today. Pingu and Pinga went for a walk with Momo-chan and enjoyed the green that is spreading. Pinga brought a jacket but soon took it off. These blue flowers are also popping up and it is a nice color.

Sakura

Pinga thinks it's sakura but she is not 100% sure. It's beautiful anyways.

Ultrasound again

Momo-chan went to the hospital for ultrasound check up for the second time. He looks happy in this photo because it's before the session. He was ok at the beginning but at the end, he was crying. He does not like the cold gel they use for the ultrasound. It made him poo...

New grip for Momo-chan

Pingu and Pinga learned a new way for holding Momo-chan so he is resting on his stomach. Momo-chan seems to like it.

Beef asparagus roll

Pinga made tasty asparagus rolls today. This time with beef wrapped around.

Sharing blanket with Pingu

Momo-chan fell asleep with Pingu under the same blanket. They are cute together don't you think?

First bus ride

Momo-chan was on the bus for the first time. Pinga and Momo-chan went to downtown to have lunch with Pinga's friend. To Pinga's relief, Momo-chan was quiet both ways.

Momo-chan takes a bath

Momo-chan has been bathing several times this week. First time he was screaming a lot but the last two he has been enjoying it we think.

Pingu dad visits

Pingu dad came and visited us this past week. He was very nice and took care of us making dinner and also baked bread. The first batch bread became a bit flat but they were tasty.

Nice gifts from Pingu colleagues

Pingu received nice gifts from his coworkers when he came back to work last week. Pooh bear is cute!

Sleeping? Thinking?

I was sleeping on the sofa and so was Momo-chan. He looked serious while sleeping. What are you dreaming of Momo-chan?

Loud neighbor moves out!

Pingu and Pinga has been annoyed for one year now by a very noisy and inconsiderate neighbor. Well he has now moved out! What a wonderful day!

Sunday afternoon

We had friends over for afternoon tea so I was hiding. I came to the sofa after they left. Momo-chan was sleeping as usual so I joined him.

In the afternoon

Momo-chan and I usually sleep together on the sofa in the afternoon. But today he was awake for almost 3 hours.

I scream for ice cream

Momo-chan became three weeks old today. It was sunny and a good ice cream day. It's a photo from this Monday. While Pingu and Pinga were eating ice cream, Momo-chan was screaming from the baby stroller.

UCLA presents!

Momo-chan got a package from Pinga's friend in USA today! It was nice UCLA themed toys. Lucky Momo-chan!

Butterflies

Pingu, Pinga and Momo-chan went for a walk yesterday. It was quite nice and sunny. They saw trees blooming and also some butterflies. Let's hope spring warmth is here to stay.

Pingu is looking after sleepy Momo-chan

Momo-chan is rid of his cold now which is great. He is also more awake and active during the day and night. After eating Momo-chan often falls asleep (actually many times while eating). He sleeps rather light so to avoid waking him up Pinga lets him stay on the feeding pillow and puts Pingu in the middle so Momo-chan does not slip into the middle. Looks like Pingu is doing a good job of taking care of Momo-chan, right?

Guarded by another cat

Momo-chan was sleeping today on the couch under the supervision of a stuffed toy cat. I would not dare be so close myself but I do not react so much any longer when Momo-chan cries.

Testing a Manduca baby carrier

Today Pingu tested carrying Momo-chan in an ergonomic baby carrier made by Manduca. It seems to work well and most likely Pingu and Pinga will get one for Momo-chan. This brown one they have borrowed from friends.

Almost a smile

Momo-chan is sleeping a lot and when he is not he looks very serious. This morning he actually looked happy.

Taking a walk

Pingu and Pinga had a visit from their friend with his son. They went out walking together and I was not allowed to come with.

Eyes wide Momo-chan

Although he still has a cold, he was awake for a long time today. I still do not dare go close to him...

Easter egg hunt

Pinga was sneaky and hid an easter egg filled with candy from Pingu while he was napping with Momo-chan. Pingu then had to search for it. He found it after a while. The egg on the right was given by nice friends that they met on their walk earlier today.

Baby stroller debut

Today was Momo-chan's first walk outside in the stroller. Pingu and Pinga went for kind of a long walk but Momo-chan slept almost all the way. It is nice and sunny but a bit windy today.

We have something in common

I was sleeping on the couch yesterday and so was Momo-chan. Do you know that I am more than twice his weight?

Momo-chan manicure

Momo-chan has fast growing nails so today it was time for some manicure. I wish Pingu and Pinga used nail file instead of those nail cutters on me too.

Flowers and teddy bear!

I am quite jealuous. Momo-chan keeps getting more and more flowers. This cute parent-child flower set including a cuddly teddy bear is from Pinga's company.

Momo-chan's first home visit

Today Momo-chan got a home visit by a Pingu and Pinga friend. He brought present and snacks from his family. How nice! No cat candy though...

Parent-child flower set!

There was even more flowers delivered today. This set of flowers was attached just like a mother and child at birth. Cute! They came from Pinga's side of the family.
