Swimming with Ester

Today Isabella came with Ester and me when we went swimming, so now you can enjoy some pictures from the pool! :)

Back home again...

We had a great time in Rome, the weather was fantastic, the food amazing and the sight seeing superb. We also had a terrible time. Ester got really sick, started throwing up, had a feever, and diarrea (is that how u spell it? Otherwise I can describe it... but no, I'll spare u the details). Luckily it was only really bad for one day, so we stayed in and did nothing that day, and then she was better again...

We'd rented a small apartment right next to Campo de Fiori, and it was absolutely perfect. On the ground floor, so getting in and out with the pram was no problem, and actually really quiet.

Tomorrow: Roma!

Tomorrow we're leaving for Rome! Only a short trip, late sunday to late thursday, but I am sooo looking forward to it. We (me, Mattias, Ester, my parents and Mattias brother) have rented a small apartment close to Campo dei Fiore, right in the heart of the city. Can't wait to get there. A bit nervous about the flight and transportation and getting around with the pram (will there be room for us in tiny italian restaurants, and can you get through Forum Romanum with it?), but mostly just longing to get there.

So, for pictures and stories from Ester's second trip abroad check back here by the end of the week!

Ester 5 months old!

5 months... seems like no time at all... and seems like she's been here forever, how can it be only 5 months? She can almost sit up on her own (almost) and she can catch her own feet :) She's started to eat solid food as well, though mostly breast feeding still, and she loves mango (and went a bit crazy when she tasted some ice cream the other day).

Swimming (or rather... splashing and spitting) is still great fun, and going to sleep is the worst thing that has ever happened to her... every time.
