In preparation for our summer vacation in France, I recently bought a Manduca. For those of you who don’t know, it’s a baby carrier. Frida is getting too heavy for the Tricot Slen, which is a long elastic wrap. Besides, as it covers the upper body, it’s warmer to wear – something we don’t need at the Riviera with 25-30 Celsius…
We’ve gone from this:
to this:
Frida still looks like her dad!
Frida’s first flight went to Oslo. She seemed to like it and slept almost the whole time. In Oslo she was happy to make a new friend.
When we got back she had her operation. She even got a diploma for being a good girl after waking up from general anaesthesia!
Her just-woke-up-face in the morning is always cute.
Find Wally… eh, I mean, find Frida!
Playing with dad, looking in the mirror.
Strolling by the water in beautiful spring weather.
Ready for skiing in Easter break!
First time facing forward in the Tricot-slen wrap.
Frida’s hairy crazy cousin.
Not really liking the pacifier too much.
Making a new friend… or maybe not!
New spring outfit – knit by grandma Brit.
Dad’s home alone with the baby while mom’s…
At the coffee shop with grandma and grandpa.
Her favorite toy is a yellow thingy.
Always happy in the wrap. Not so in the baby carriage… 
Why the surprised look on Frida’s face? Well, I celebrated my birthday Feb 14 and invited a few friends over for dinner. I guess she was wondering why I got some of the attention – she’s usually the center of attention!!
By the way, Frida was an angel all day, sleeping while I prepared dinner and charming the guests after they arrived. She politely stayed awake to see the last couple leave after 1 am…
Just wanted to show you what a proud dad looks like. Looking at her smile, I think she’ll grow up to be a daddy’s girl 
I’ve gathered some pictures of Frida. One of her taking a bath, several from when she’s lying on her back looking up at her toys, and a few showing how she can already hold her head up pretty well 
Every time I’ve taken Frida to a coffe shop, she’s slept like an angel the whole time Last time I had to wake her up before we left in order to feed her, as I wanted to make sure she didn’t wake up hungry when I was running a few errands. As soon as she finished, she fell sound asleep again – just look at this:
I guess I better enjoy it while I can. As she gets older, she’ll want to run around and keep me busy!
A couple of days ago we went to E’s parents where Frida fell asleep as soon as we put her on the couch wrapped in a wool blanket that her aunt knit. Thanks, aunt M
This was the first time Frida fell asleep on her stomach. And for those of you who don’t know: babies aren’t supposed to sleep on the stomach unless they’re supervised!
The picture is not as good as other photos that I’ve posted because it’s taken with my iPhone. My Christmas present from E – once again an excellent choice for a present! What would I do during all those hours of breast-feeding if I didn’t have my new gadget?? (For others who are breast-feeding, I’d recommend the Baby tracker: nursing application that gives you feeding stats. I didn’t think it would be as useful as it has turned out to be!)
Frida’s already seven weeks old now. She smiles and jabbers, but most of the times she sleeps or eats.
In the picture, Frida’s taking a bath. Might not look like she’s enjoying it, but she sure did – at least until she got impatient and started whining
