take two on a double date

My friend Inéz has a little girl only a few weeks older than Markús. So, when we were in Denmark in April we tried hooking them up...


Then yesterday we tried it out again. The only problem this time was that Eya had learned how to crawl and Markús hasn't. So when we sat them down together she keept crawling away. After this happening a few times Markús decides to take matters into his own hands and as she is about to crawl away again he grabs out after her and holds her down. Markús is pretty strong so as this is probably a bit discomfortable for poor Eya she tries to make him let go by hitting his hand and screaming. Better luck next time...
Unfortunately I didn't get that on video. But here is a different clip of the two not lovebirds:

Denmark the beautiful!

I'm in Denmark.
My sister was due to have her first baby last Monday (she has now gone 4 days over).  So I took Markús under my arm and jumped on a plane to be here. And now I'm just waiting...
In the meantime I'm spending time with friends,  hanging out with my family, eating lots and lots of danish food and drinking a ton of elderflower juice!!!  The only thing missing is my husband. (who is home in Iceland sick...) :(

It's really nice being home and showing Markús off to everyone.

I was a bit nervouse about taking Markús on the plane by myself. But since the plane left at 8:40 and he usually naps from 9-11 I thought he would sleep for a big part of the 3 hours. And yes, before we had even taken off he was asleep. And he stayed asleep for 20 min and then he woke up and was loud and happy for the rest of the trip. Too bad for the other passangers who wanted to sleep... sorry...
Here are some pictures of Markús sitting in his own seat on the plane...



And here is one of Markús in the airport in Iceland. He fell in love with this stroler and the little foot-thingy. He just sat in it and kicked and kicked and laughed out loud. It was so cute...
