Highlights of July 2009

I just realized today that July is almost over, here are some highlights.

Frida’s cousin came to town, so we’ve spent some time with her. This means that Frida has had to share her toys, and they seem to get along very well – even though Frida with her 8 months could easily take down 4 months old Stellatronic!

Throwing up on the couch is fun. As long as one gets to look at it for two seconds and then rub both hands in it.

Everyday activities include eating in the high chair and standing up in the couch. By the way, the couch is an excellent place to show off two teeth that are emerging.

We’ve had some great weather: at the veranda, at Bratlia (my parent’s vacation house) and at a local coffee shop…

Frida has learned how to climb. For some reason the dishwasher is one of the most exciting toys at the moment. Of course, all toys have to be tasted!

Summer in Provence

This year’s summer vacation is now over. We had a great time in Provence, staying almost two weeks in a house near the tiny village of Flayosc with a couple of friends and their daughter who is only a month older than Frida. The house had a large pool and a nice view of… nothing but green hills and villages far away :)

Before we went on vacation we were enjoying the summer at home. Here’s Frida chillin on a bench in the park with a friend.

Frida didn’t miss her friends at home for a second as she got to share toys all day long with an old friend of hers.

And she slept at night – which gave her parents some time to do other things.

One day we went on an excursion to beautiful Lac du Verdon, with its green lake and deep canyons.
