Kaiten sushi

Momo-chan is experiencing a lot of things for the first time. Here he is in a sushi restaurant. He had fun watching the plates go by but then he had a nap.

First food for Momo-chan = carrot

This Tuesday Momo-chan had food for the first time. He was quite happy about it and enjoyed a bit of carrot.

Japanese TV

Momo-chan has his favorite place on the living room floor. From there he can watch the TV and what is currently on. He seems to be enjoying Japanese style TV.

Omiyage

Pinga and Pingu came with lots of omiyage (gifts) for Pinga parents. Swedish cookies and candy and also some things from Prague.

Arrived in Tokyo!

I am in cat hotel at the moment while the rest of the family arrived in Tokyo on Monday. Momo-chan was so well behaved on the plane that the flight attendants talked about it.

Pingu pillow

I need some attention from Pingu from time to time. So I went to Pingu and used his arm as my pillow when he was by the computer.

Ohayou Momo-chan

This is Momo-chan just after he woke up in the morning. Pinga thought babies would cry when they wake up but Momo-chan usually laughs or makes happy sound when he wakes up.

Huge chocolate

Pingu bought this really big chocolate bar in Germany. It looked even bigger when Momo-chan held it.

Visiting friends

Pingu, Pinga and Momo-chan went to visit friends that have two cats. This is Momo-chan meeting one of them. She was curious about Momo-chan but also a bit afraid. Good that Momo-chan didn't scream.

Red leaves

Leaves are turning red in Lund. Pinga thought that it's beautiful but also a bit depressing as it's the sign of winter approaching.

Momo-chan became 6 months old

This is Momo-chan in the baby stroller on his way to downtown. Time flies! He became 6 months old today.

Six babies

Momo-chan met 5 other babies in the afternoon. Except for one baby, they are about 6 months old. Pinga thinks it's fun to meet other babies and mothers once in a while.

Watching Momo-chan

Pingu, Pinga and Momo-chan went to visit their friends who has a cat. As Momo-chan was lying on the carpet and making interesting sounds, she did not want to come close and just watched him from far away. I totally understand her. It takes time to get used to Momo-chan.

Ice cream weather

As it was sunny and nice today Pinga and Momo-chan went to downtown and met Pingu at the gelato shop. Pinga was surprised to see that some flavours were sold out. Swedes really like ice cream! Both Pingu and Pinga ordered three flavours and they were big like this. It was cool on the way back home and Pinga was thinking soon she needs gloves to go out.

Hedgehog

Momo-chan and Pinga were out walking and this hedgehog was crossing the street. It's quite unusual to see a hedgehog in the blight day light.

Momo-chan at the gym

Momo-chan and Pinga went to the gym and tried something new this morning. It's called "Mom & baby workout." Mothers lift up babies and so on to train their muscles. It seems like Momo-chan liked it. There were so many babies in the hall.

New toy?

Since yesterday, Momo-chan has been fascinated by his own hands. He was moving his hands and looking at them a lot.

Yet another bib

Pinga's friend came to visit us today. She had presents for Momo-chan and one of them was this bib. It's cute on him. But what about me? No presents for me?

Bibs for Momo-chan

As Momo-chan drools a lot, Pinga bought two new bibs for him today. He was using one of them.

Riding a dog

With a bit of help, Momo-chan was riding the dog. This dog was a perfect size for Momo-chan.

New friends?

After the parents meeting, Pinga and Momo-chan visited their friends. Momo-chan was happily playing with this dog and owl.

Many babies

Pinga went to another parents meeting with Momo-chan. There he met six other babies.

5 months check-up

Momo-chan went to 5 months check-up at the health center today. He turned out to be 7,575g and 68cm. He grows fast and now he weighs almost the same as me. This is Momo-chan and clothes that are size 74cm. Very soon he will start using them.

Momochan and me

It's usually me who is looking at Momo-chan but today, it was the other way around. He was looking at me while I was eating my glass. Well Momo-chan, the glass is tasty but don't even think about trying it.

Blackberry = Björnbär

Pingu, Pinga and Momo-chan visited their friends. They were treated for diner, cake, and also for these blackberries. They were big and sweet. Pinga was surprised to hear that they are not from a shop but someone's garden. Momo-chan was curious but he couldn't eat it.

On the way home

Pingu has ordered a taxi specially with a baby seat and Momo-chan enjoyed it. He was looking out from the window almost all the way. I want to come back home too!

Last day in Prague

It was their last day in Prague. They went to the Museum of Decorative Arts. The building behind Pingu is called Rudolfinum. It is across the street from the museum and is a Neo-Renaissance building, now the seat of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra.

Momo-chan 5 months today!

Momo-chan turned 5 months today! He slept a lot while Pingu and Pinga walked around in Prague. Pinga found a shop that sells very tasty macarons earlier and now she revisited and bought a lot of them. Here are 5 of them on a plate to signify 5 month birthday.

U Pinkasu

Pingu, Pinga and Momo-chan went to one of the famous beer halls today. It is called U Pinkasu. Momo-chan didn't get to drink any beer but mother's milk tastes best for him anyway.

View from Vysehrad

After a long walk in the hot weather and after climbing a lot of stairs with the baby stroller they finally reached the park/fort of Vysehrad. There is quite a nice view from there don't you think?

Dancing house

Pingu, Pinga and Momo-chan went walking along the Voltava river today. Along the way they came across this interesting house. It is built to look like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers from singing in the rain.

Visiting friends

Pingu and Pinga's friends' son is one year older than Momo-chan. He was curious about Momo-chan.

Parents group

Momo-chan met 5 other babies this afternoon at the first meeting of the parents group. It's a meeting for parents that had babies in March, April or May. There were three other babies that were born in March.

The thinker

This is Momo-chan resting just after turning from his back to his stomach. He got a little help from Pingu but he could turn!

Momo-chan and me

Momo-chan was training his neck. It seems like he does not try to turn. I couldn't stay close to him for a long time as he moves a lot and makes interesting sound.

Castle restaurant

This is Momo-chan looking at Pinga and Pingu's food at the castle restaurant. As they were there with Pinga mom, they were thinking of her. They could not walk in the garden as it was raining all evening.

Avocado maguro bowl アボカド鮪丼

Pinga made an avocado maguro rice bowl for dinner. It's one of the Pingu's favourite dishes. I wonder Momo-chan will like it as well.

Sheep

It was cloudy but Pinga and Momo-chan went out for a walk. They saw sheep.

Red currant and apple crumble

Momo-chan seems to be hungry too but he is more interested in Pingu's finger than the pie Pinga baked.

Arild again

Pingu and Pinga left me at home and visited their friends in Arild. Pinga was playing with this boy and captured this view. He was saying "Boats!" and looking down to the harbour.

Tomato basil olive bread

While Momo-chan was training his neck muscle, Pingu and Pinga tried the bread they bought yesterday. It was ok but they thought olive bread tasted a bit better.

Olof Viktors

The purple monster is a gift Momo-chan received today which he seems to like it a lot. Other stuff are from the bakery Olof Viktors. Pingu likes this cardamom roll and Pinga wanted to try the chocolate pistachio rusk. They also decided to try the tomato basil olive bread in the middle.

Lemon meringue pie

Momo-chan didn't seem to be interested but they shared a lemon meringue pie and it was very tasty.

Bakery café

Pingu, Pinga and their friend drove to a bakery café outside of Ystad. It's popular and there was a long queue but the food was worth waiting for.

Home sweet home

I was out for a whole day as I slipped my collar while I took a walk with Pinga last night. Pinga came to get me with Momo-chan and now I am at home with them.
I was in Momo-chan's bed before him and Pinga put him afterward. I stayed there a bit but jumped out as I feared he could stretch his legs and kick me.

Sushi dinner

Pinga invited her friends over for sushi. She made a lot of them. She was happy to receive positive feedback from them.

Three babies

Momo-chan met two other babies today. They are 5 months old and 6 months old. So Momo-chan was the youngest but he was as big as the 5 months old baby in the middle.

Can I use it too?

Momo-chan's present turned out to be a very cute blanket with many Pingu faces on it. I need a blanket to lie on too!

Present for Momo-chan

We had friends over for dinner and they brought a present for Momo-chan. It looked as big as Momo-chan!

Increased volume Momo-chan

Momo-chan not only talks a lot these days but the volume of his voice is increasing. I got surprised by him talking loud today.

Playing together

Momo-chan had fun playing with her this afternoon. She has a younger sister and she is very good at playing with a small baby like Momo-chan.
