poop poop and poop

A few weeks ago a friend of mine said that she just couldn't understand why all people when they become parents lose their conversation etiquette. They start talking about poop and spit-up whenever and where ever. And you know what, it's true you really do. But that is because it becomes such a big part of your life (and because it comes from such a cute little thing)! When you see your friends and family what do you talk about? -the things that are going on in your life!

So when the little boy poops with such force that it simply shoots out of the diaper and up his back and out on his shoulders... -that is pretty impressive and worth blogging about! Here is a picture of Binni and Markús. (Binni was lucky enough to be the one to discover the amazing achievement)

The impressive thing was that it wasn't a lot it just went very far! 

Other foods take 2

Markús is now a big fan of the baby rice. Eats them every day and happily. So Monday time came to try out other foods. I've read everything I can get a hold of about what to feed your child and when and what is best to start with and follow up with and so on and so on. So I decided to try out potatoes (mashed with his normal milk of course). And here is what happened!

We tried again the next day and he didn't love it but he ate it.

Today we were going to give him potato again (the smart people say to stick to the same thing for about a week before starting them on something new) but seeing as how today was his 6 months birthday and it didn't seem right to give him something he doesn't like on his birthday we decided to give him sweet potatoes. And he LOVED it! He had two portions and kept opening his mount for more. It was really cute. I didn't get a video of it but here is the result afterwards:

I am open for ideas and experiences on baby feeding!

TV shows with substance

About two weeks ago we started this new TV show called Firefly. It's kind of a Sci-fi western. And even though it might not be the best quality show it has some amazing lines in it! Such as:

• "If I had wanted schooling I would have gone to school"
• "My guess is that you weren't burdened with an overabundance of schooling"
• and loads more that has nothing to do with schooling... :)

For the past few days we have been watching 2-3 episodes a day and we now only have 2 episodes left... This led me to ponder on what other TV shows I've been watching lately.
I've never been much into TV shows. Ok that is a lie, but my horizon has really been broadened over the last couple of years (since I got married). Let's see:

- 24
- Avatar the last airbender (cartoon)
- Jericho
- The Glades
- The vampire Diaries
- Falling Skies
- Fringe (a big favorite)
- Firefly

All good shows that I can recommend! :)

Tribute to our old apartment

Binni and I just moved and it was about time. Don't get me wrong, it was a great starters home. It had a livingroom/kitchen/bedroom/entrance (all in one), a bathroom and a big balcony (that we never used). It was small but probably the best used 38m2 ever!
The balcony door and the windows leaked whenever it rained and now and again the bathroom had a very strong smell that spread to the entire apartment whenever a window hadn't been opened for a couple of hours.
But it was home!

the livingroom.

the kitchen

the bedroom (and yes this is pretty much all of it)

the view (and the only thing I will miss)

But there comes a time in every families life where you just need a bit more... 

So we went on the hunt for a new place and got something really amazing. It's close to Binni's family and the church not to mention the fact that our new livingroom is the size of our entire old apartment! 

I love it! :) Just wanted to share that with the world. 

Other foods than milk

For the past week now we have started Markús on solid foods. Even though the word "solid" is a bit misleading...
All in all it went pretty well. Day 1 he ate just a few spoon fulls. He liked it but also thought it was kinda strange.

Day 2 he found out that it's funny if you blow whenever a spoon comes up and touches your lips. From day 3 however he he ate whatever we put in front of him. Now we have gone up to a double portion and he eats it with ease!
I'm excited to try something other than baby rice next week.

A few weeks ago we gave him some water for the first time. It might not have been the best setting to try something new but it was fun for us!
