Olz+N'tash featuring Lil' Fil in the big city of Thn

What a month this has been! ;) This one really went *too* fast… I’m enjoing myself now, because those last weeks were like a rare momnet when we didn’t have any sleeping issues. Lil’ Fil ussually wakes up to times a night but I can live with that. ;) He is eating really good as well. The last thing he tried was sweet potato which disappeared in a second. Never seen him eating soooo good! :) This makes me happy even though cleaning the kitchen after the sweet potato is a h*ll.

This was also the month when Lil’ Fil found his ear (the left one only, so far! :D), started crawling (or at least can move himself around ;) ), can roll around (and he does it all the time), tried standing on his knees but the biggest challenge (probably mostly for me! :D) is that he is semi-potty trained! This is the most amazing discovery I have made during the last month and I could never guess that this would go so fast and convenient! *All credits to Lil’ Fil and me! :D *

I’m writing this so obviously I’m not depressed ;) after I had my haircut today. It all seemed well as I left. I give it a first wash before I decide if I like it or not. :D

Anyway, I had my second photography class last night and this time it was better then the last time. Even though I cannot say that I learned a lot I can definitely say that I learned two things that I should have known by now.  But the more I learn the more I realize how much there is to learn. Besides I cannot even look on the pictures that I took for example last summer. Even those that I thought were perfect now seems hopelessly out of focus, ridiculously composed or incredibly dark. :(

A cheer up to myself: Never cry over spilt milk! ;)

There is no 8th of March without tulips and here are mine! :)

I’m on my way to the hairdresser and *if  I dare :D* I’m gonna cut my hair short(er). :)  I hope I’ll like it!  But if you don’t hear from me any time soon than I’m am depressed and try to cope with my hair mess. ;)

So far it’s been a gorgeous sunny day. It seems that spring is finally on its way to our town. Soken wet shoes and sun-glasses – this is definitely spring!

We’ve been to the library for the last “fair-tale hour”. No regrets – the lady who was reading the fairy tales was quite boring… And now it’s just a couple of hours left for the next photography class – something that I was waiting for since last Monday! :D

*And I don’t mind it ;)* Got this from my mother-in-law.

Today is the 8th of March or International Women’s day – a major day of global celebration of women. While in Sweden it is mostly a political holiday praising the gender equality in Ukraine it is an apolitical celebration of women with an emphasis on their beauty and motherhood somewhat similar to a mixture of Mother’s Day and St Valentine’s Day. ♥ Besides it’s a day off and women often are celebrated by flowers, cards and presents! *Did someone say “presents”? ;)*

J is awesome. He never forgets 8th of March (he knows better than that! :D), so this morning “ma guys” surprised me with a bottle of perfume. So now I’m scented and lovely for the rest of this beautiful day! *happy and smell adorable*

Happy 8th of March to all of you!

Is it just me  or did it go really fast? While Saturday was all about baby swimming, the Sunday turned out to be quiet busy as well. :) We have been visiting Lil’ Fil’s … let me see… well, I’m not sure there is a name for this kind of relatives :D . Anyway we went to Lil’ Fil’s grandma’s brother who turned 50 for a couple of days ago and had a little family birthday party today. Can anyone say “no” to this delicious cake when offered??? I couldn’t! I said “yes” more times than I should have…;) *guilty*

A demonstrative reminder…

Since we are having the health guru (read: my mother-in -law :D) over at our place this is the only snacks we get. *Needless to say that everything is organic ;)*

Luckily I have my secret reserves. :P

…were in the mail yesterday. Recipient? The one who doesn’t have any teeth yet! :D Guess who? ;)
