Week 4 already? That means that I return to work three weeks tomorrow. I cannot believe that my maternity leave is already nearly over. I had better make the most of these last three weeks then.
This past week we have celebrated Baby E’s first birthday, witnessed the moon and Jupiter at their closest for many years (and I cannot believe that it was so easy to see them) and Little O has found himself a cosy little spot up on the windowsill where he can watch people get on and off the bus at the bus stop opposite.
Little O has been trying out my lipstick and trying on his Pappa’s watch, while Baby E’s hair has gone haywire – a combination of wearing a hat for much of the day and static build-up from the low pressure at the moment. Also, we’ve been trying to hide the fact that we have a Samsung tablet from the boys!

In brief: English, living in Sweden, with my Swedish/Hungarian husband and our sons, Little O and Baby E, and trying to juggle all the different aspects of my new life - the me I was before, the me I am now and the me that I would like to be... 
Happy Birthday Baby E
It was a bit of a low-key affair – a candle, a small slice of cake and a couple of cards to open. The downside to being the second child and having a birthday not so long after Christmas… It really was the case of what to buy the boy who has (access to) everything (of his brother’s)!
Happy Birthday E, like the seat O, and love the static hair
The hair static continues, and now we transfer static shocks between us when we hug!
Aw, he looks so sweet sitting at his window seat people watching.
Gorgeous lipstick
He now wants to try out a new colour each day. I fear I won’t have much lipgloss left at this rate…!
Absolutely beautiful photos- hope everyone enjoyed celebrating.
Thank you! It was a quiet celebration but we had fun. Looking forward to Christmas 2013 as Little O will understand a little better and Baby E should be able to open his own presents (if his big brother lets him!).
Oh enjoy your last few weeks! Time flies doesn’t it? Loved the pics, your boys are too cute.
I know, I know. I cannot believe that it is nearly over. I really need to start making the most of it but we’re dropping like flies with a cold and fever, so it’s hard this week…
I think they’re pretty cute but then I think I am also biased
