Fish

We have started feeding the Muppekin fish. She really likes it. I spice it with dill. Serve it with potatomash, pure of pastinac or carrots. We also gave her mushed peas. It all goes down with joy. She really likes eating. But all this food is getting to her somach. So hard. It hurts her, I can tell. Asked the adivisory over the telephone. They said plumpure as dessert and oil in the food. Will try...

Teeth

My Muppekin got her first tooth when she turned six months, during our stay in Switzerland. Now she allready has to littel grains of rice looking out. Razor sharp. You can tell she likes using them on all sorts of things we give her to try out. Watermelon, raw carrots, cucumber, bits of apple and pear, the plate, cups and glases, our fingers and her own.

Meat has been introduced. I think the preference is still by vegetables and fruits. Will have to try to cook it differently next time. I like making all the babyfood by my self. Is good to know what goes in to my little Muppekin.

Took a nice walk in the forest the whol family. Very relaxing and calming. Sonia the dog went running like mad. The Muppekin was carried in a schal on my hip. Later her father had her in the babybjörn carrier. She loved looking at all the trees and leavs.

Walk

We took a walk today. Down to the waterfront. I carried the Muppekin till she fell asleep in the wrap. Let her keep on sleeping in the stroller. Me and Sonia had a swim in the warm water. After coming home the baby-Muppekin keept on sleeping. Dear faithful Sonia guarded her while I painted watercoulors.

Waves

How sad I am I have not taken my baby-Muppekin sailing yet. She sailed so many miles in my belly last summer. Moved inside me, for the first time, moved by the Mediterranean waves. That littel pleased tickeling bubble I felt laying in my bunk at night, rocking wiht the sailboats motion, in the whait for my watch.

I want to show her the joy of moving with the waves. Capturing the winds. Riding the sheets. Helming whith you hips. I want to show her one of the gratest loves of my life. I ant to show her how I find the complet peace of minde. How it all adds up.

Found a blog today about a couple who set of to sail a 1000 days without stopping... Set my thoughts in motion. Made it so clear that I do have to have sailing in my life!!!

Calm

Had the first calm day in a long time. Did not leave home at all. So nice. Made me come together and come down. Want more days like this one. No stress, no consumption, not to many impressions of no use. It makes me feel alive again. Makes me creative.

I had time to cook for alla of us, look after the flowers and plant new once, painted with watercoulors, had a nice walk and a moring swim. All nice things that makes me open up. Makes me enjoy life. Makes me think it will be ok to start working again next week.

Carried my little Muppekin in a schal, in other words I was babywearing, while I made a whole lot of babyfood for the freezer. Minced meat, carrots, pastinac. The Muppekin tried meat for the first time. She was not overly excited. She is more excited by peeking over my shoulder when I cook.

Water

Woke up from the pooooooring rain this morning. Everything is damp. Damp warm air. Makes my head heavy. My baby-muppekin is sleeping. So calm. Pressure in my head. Feels like the hollidays are all to soon coming to an end. I want to be free. Free to sleep and do what I want togehter with my little muppekin and my big man.

Yesterday we had a family-bath the three of us. The first one. Makes my heart glow. That is what life is all about.

Usally life is allso about sailing. This is the first summer in years I haven not been sailing. Silently I cry very wet tears inside.

Home

This is what I left behinde...

Back home after a week in Emmental, a lush green vally outside Bern in Switzerland. Visited a small farm where Jasmin, a friend of mine lives. She had a small daughter seven weeks ago. Ayala. It was sooo good to be back in CH again. To talk swissgerman. God I have missed that. Miss! Will miss! Can't deny what a large part CH has in my hart. It allways feels like coming home to go there. (Even though I never have had much to do with Bern.) It is just so sweet. Heimelig!!! My Muppekin was beutiful to travel with. She is the best!
