Needs no explanations

Look... I can read

Some say two month old babies can not read, well here is Matthias proving them wrong. Okay, maybe he's not actually reading, but at least looking at the pictures while I read the offers in Super Best and my mom looks at the TV Guide.

It's funny to think, that in a few short months, he will be able to at least hold the paper.

Sunday Picnic

The weather was great on Sunday. The hottest I've been in, for a long time. It was around 26 degrees and rising. I think it might have been a little too hot for Matthias, seen that the only weather he has experienced is the summer heat in Iceland. Which I might add is not all that hot, around 15 drgrees. Wow... where's the sun block:).
My mom you know, but the other persone is Katrine. Whom I went to IB in Danmark with and where very good friends. Katrine instantly fell in love with Matthias and offered to baby-sit. With all my friends offering to baby-sit for me, I should move them to Iceland and be a free woman. All in all another great day with great weather.

Great Grandmother Elly

Elly is Matthias' danish great grandmother and a wonderful woman. My only regret is that I don't speak fluent danish and there for can not talk to her as much as I would like. But with Matthias, he is going to learn danish, so he doesn't have that same problem. I would like them to be as close as possible.

On the Plane

This was Matthias' first trip on a plane. He did so well when we took off, and while we were in the air. He was the perfect baby. But because he can't pop his ears himeself, I had to feed him while we were descending. With feeding comes air and with air comes non-stop crying. And boy did he not stop until we had landed and everyone was off the plan. The nicest thing, was that the other passengers didn't say a word, except "ooo, what a cute babay" or "Don't worry, it'll soon be over". So I guess, all in all that was a good flight. It could have been a whole lot wores.

Doing Great:)

Yesterday, Matthias and I went to the nurse for our 8 week check-up. As always, I was nervous, that she would say something was wrong, or that he still isn't gaining enough weight. But to my surprise, she gave us the all clear. This means, Matthias now weighs 4,470kg. This put a huge smile on both our faces... Yes... Matthias smiled at the news... Ingibjörg, the nurse thought that he wouldn't have grown much in the past 2 weeks, but boy was she surprised at the fact that he had grown 3,5cm, so now he 57,5cm long. We have a feeling Matthias is going to be tall like his father. Thank god, cause I'm short... not good...

Today Matthias gave me the biggest smile yet. This time his smile was so big, I could see all of his gums. And I swear he also was trying to laugh and talk to me. That would have made my year, but he is too young to talk. And because he going to tri lingual, it will take him a little longer than most.
