5 1/2 months

Today I went with Júlíana to the clinic again, for her next baby check and her shots.

Length: 68,5 cm
Weight: 7,810 kg



Since roughly 3 weeks we have now our new au-pair girl Julia from Germany. She is simply brilliant, she fits phantastically into the family and is a great help! The girls loved and respected her directly.



She took directly part in our family's every-day-schedule, babysits Júlíana, takes Jóhanna and Verónika to their respective schools, and is a real kitchen fairy! (me and my tiny, messy turn-on-the-spot kitchen! now it's shiny!)



And: me and Julia finally managed to capture Júlíana laughing on a picture! Take a close look and you'll be able to make out both the two upper and lower front teeth.

Tooth no. 4 finally arrived

Now we can feel both upper front teeth and I hope nights are getting calmer again... *yawn*

Summer in the City

Summer in the city - june to august 07

Hot town summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirt and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk hotter than a match head

So Joe Cocker sings... Well, I have to admit that summers are not THAT hot in Reykjavík, but this time it has been the warmest with most sunny days since weather measurings began (so they say in the news).
Take a look at the new album to see what we did at home after we cancelled our flight to Germany. (And there are a few older photos in the beginning I wanted to share with you as well.)

Tooth no. 3 ...

broke through today! Drooling, nagging, biting little miss!
Unbelievable, she looks so grown up sometimes...

We tried a lot to catch a moment, when she´s laughing to take a picture of the two teeth in the lower jaw. Not ONE possibility, because she always looks quite puzzled when somebody appears with the camera (what strange thing is that where Mom is hiding?!) and takes pictures with flash...

Schäubles großer Lauschangriff...

... oder: der Bundestrojaner.

Der absolute Hammer. Da will der Gute doch tatsächlich jeden einzelnen Computer ausspionieren. Wie war das doch mit Meinungsfreiheit und Schutz des Privatlebens?

Wie dem auch sei, ich habe eine absolut geniale Webseite zum Thema gefunden, richtig schön süffisant und fies:

Bundestrojaner.net

Du hast nichts zu verbergen? Also, dann sei auch Du ein guter Patriot und lade Dir den Bundestrojaner freiwillig herunter, um die freiheitlich demokratische Grundordnung der Bundesrepublik aufrecht zu erhalten!

(Es geht abwärts mit Deutschland, das ist der neueste Beweis...)

4 1/2 months...

... and time again for weighting and measuring our little lady.
On monday 20th we went to the clinic and had a little check. For statistics, here are the newest numbers:

weight: 7,110 kg
length: 66,5 cm

She's a strong, heavy and tall girl!

Yesterday, school started again for Jóhanna, and Verónika is already attending kindergarden since monday. Now I have a bit peace during the day (until I have to fetch the girls from school), and will hopefully be able to create a "summer's ending" post soon with new pictures about what we did during the holidays.

2nd tooth approaching!

Yesterday Júlíana's second tooth broke through. And therefor she's chewing on everything she can reach. For better luck the homeopath's remedies (chamomilla) worked well, so that she slept nicely the last nights and seems cheerful again today. Picture coming soon.
