The New Oslo Opera House

In the weekend we visited the new Opera house here in Oslo. It's only a short walk from where we live. It's very nice and special and my parents even could walk with me in the pram right to the top of the building. Everything was so white and luckily they had bought me some sunglasses.

I think I'm quite cool in those glasses.

I spend a lot of time playing on my mat.

Playing in my bed

I'm 6 Months..

So much things have happened this last month. Firstly I put on around one kilo more so now I'm 8,6 kilo.

I'm not only drinking my mother's milk but I have also started to eat other food. Two times a day I'm eating porridge and some fruits. Recently I also got some vegetables like potatoes, carrots and sweet potatoes. I like most of these things but every new taste is very strange to me and it takes a few mouthfulls until I've accepted it.

I'm also much more clever now to use my hands, I can catch and hold almost anything and that gives me a lot of new exciting experiences.

I can also more or less sit by myself now and have improved a lot the last few days and my balance is getting better every day. Sometimes I'm falling over anyway and a few times I've hurt myself.

I can't crawl yet, but I think I will be able to move around very soon. I'm trying, but sometimes I'm going backwards instead of forward and that makes me so frustrated

Luckily it's getting warmer outside and my parents now takes me out for a walk almost every day. I like that very much and it's so many interesting things to see.

Birthday Party

My mom and dad took me to a nice restaurant in Oslo 'Papa Sigolo'. At least they apparently got some nice food, I only got my usual drink!

Happy 6 Month's Birtday!

A birtday song for Julian:
http://www.61flash.com/flash/2541.htm

It's a wellknown Chinese children song from the Province of Inner Mongolia sung in the Mongolian language. The small girl asks her parents; who/what am I? What are the flowers?What are the stars, the moon, the sun etc.....

Easter Holiday in Sweden

Trying mama's designer Cavalli sunglasses..

Shopping in Tocksfors, Sweden

Easter update.

The last month I have started to do a lot more new things! I suddenly discovered I had a pair of small feet which I could play with and put in my mouth. Talking about mouth; I put everything I can get hold of in there to check and taste. A few pages in a book I've got I have nearly already eaten up!

I have also started to eat porridge every night and I really like that and looking forward to it every day.

It also makes me happy when they come and put on my clothes for going out either in the pram or my father carrying me in the babyholder. I like to look around watching people and things, but I always fall asleep too fast in there.

My father just bought a car and I like going out driving as well, can see a lot of things from my babychair and I also have a good sleep there.

5 Months

I'm 5 months today!! ....wonder if something will happen.

My mother bought me a mat to play on with numbers which can be moved around but unfortunately I don't understand much math yet...only MORE!

Business Class to Europe

We had to go back to Norway and we did it in style. We had got tickets on business class on Air France to Paris and it was really nice. So much more space and big seats which could be made into a bed with the push of a button. The food was excellent as well; just like a nice restaurant.

I had a small cradle fastened to the wall in front of us and I had a good sleep there.

My father also took me on small walks around the airplane and it was a lot of strange things and many people to see.

We were half an hour late to Paris so we had to run a long way to catch the plane to Oslo and we did it just in time, I thought it was fun but I don't think my parents did.

All in all I think I behaved very good on the trip and that my parents were pleased with me.

I hope they will be next time as well.

Back to us

After nearly one and a half month away my father finally came back to us. I recognised him immediately and in a little while it was just like he hadn't been away at all.

My father said I had changed in many ways and developed quite a lot during this time. Most of all I started to make a lot of sounds and much more smiling and laughing as well.

Another big change was that I had learned to use my hands and catch things and also to hold my head stable myself without supporting it.

Winter holiday

My dad came from Oslo to Beijing and all I got was this lousy Polarn O. Pyret outfit!

Julian 4 Months

A Letter from my dad!

It's about a month since I saw you and that's a long time and it's still about two weeks more until I will see you again. You are still in Beijing and I'm in Norway.
This is a time you are developing quickly and I guess I will see a big difference.
In fact you changed a lot only during the two weeks we were together in Beijing during Christmas.
Suddenly it was so much easier to have contact with you and you responded by smiling and laughing and trying to talk to us.
You started to use your hands trying to catch things and also you tried to put your fingers in your mouth, not always successfull but you improved all the time.
Your sleeping habits also changed a little and you slept much longer during night, normally only waking up one time for drinking milk and also sleeping longer in the morning.

Your mother tells me that you now are very clever using your hands catching things and that you easily can hold your toys.
A completely new thing you have started to do after I left is that you are using your voice much, much more and very strongly as well. And that you have a strong voice I can confirm because a few times when I have talked with your mother on the phone, I could hear you even you were not on the same floor.
I miss you very much and I'm really looking forward to seeing you again. There is one thing though that I wonder; will you recognise me? I've been with you every day for nearly three months; carrying you, changing your dipers etc and now it will be a break of one and a half month...will you remember? I'm not sure because you are still only a little baby, but I hope so.
On the other hand you have learned to know your Grandparents very well who have helped your mother looking after you during this period of time.
Your mother have sent a lot of nice pictures of you and I'm happy for that. A few times I've also seen you "live" through the computer...it was nice to see you and I noticed that you had changed a bit, your expression...and your hair starting to be more visible. It was strange though to see you, knowing you were so far away...I wanted to lift you out of the computer but unfortunately that's not possible. I have to wait a few weeks more to hold you and carry you around.
