Invitation cards...ordered

Well the title says it all, really. I gave in to Toine's stupid wishes...although I really didn't like the card design I decided to compromise. He could have his boring card design for the invitation, and I could have my cool and pretty design for the thank you cards... He didn't really want that either... But I recon he has no choice... And he didn't even want the party in the first place so why does he all of a sudden go and think he can decide things!

Anyway... Spent the day at my parents place and got some sowing done while my sisters played with Cecilia. We had a really nice dinner cause Yvonne is going back to her home tomorrow...well today really since it's past midnight... Time for bed! Good night!

At the country place

We went to the country place yesterday for some nice relaxing with my mother and grandmother, plus my sisters Yvonne, and Elin with her boyfriend Simon. I made a cake the day before and Our friend Peter who ls a neighbor up at country place also came to visit! We had a fun time cheering for all the people who were running a marathon competition on the road just outside the house! This is something we do every year! However it was way too warm for Cecilia so she was not always happy. But when a butterfly came her way while she was sitting on Elins lap, things became much more interesting!

At first she looks a little grumpy...

Then she finally notices the butterfly...

And tries to take it, but then it flies away hehe!

Invitation cards

I have finished designing 3 different invitation cards for the baptism, so now we have to choose which one is best. There is only one problem... My favorite, is Toines least favorite, and vice versa.

I spent the day shopping with my mother and both sisters today. I bought a birthday gift for Toine (I hope he likes it) and some items which I need for cake decorating! I found this awesome fun store nearby with so many cool items for decorating cakes, it felt like I died and came to heaven haha. I was litterally jumping up and down when I got inside the store!

Not as planned

My plan was to go shopping today but I didn't have the energy for it... I'm going tomorrow instead together with Yvonne and probably my mom, and possibly Elin but that I'm not sure about.

The past few days Cecilia has been a very independent little girl. I have been able to put her down in the babygym for long periods of time while I do other things. And when she is tired of the gym, she gets to sit on my lap for a while, and when she is tired of that, it's time for food and then she takes a nap. She almost laughed today when we played peekaboo!

The date is set!

On November 6 Cecilia will be baptized and there will be a party with cake and cookies afterwards! Now I have to plan the guestlist and make cards to send! Yay!

Cecilia has been a really nice girl today and a little bit tired. It's been a nice and calm day and I got a lot of things done at home... Tomorrow I think I'm gonna go shopping for Toine's birthday present! And maybe some cake decorating stuff so i can practice to make a pretty cake for Cecilia!

Open preschool

As the title says, I took Cecilia to the preschool. Today it was for babies from 0-8 months and we were playing games and singing songs. Very nice. And I also got to meet with and talk to other mothers that live in my town. It was a lot of fun, they were all very nice. We went there last week as well, but then it was the first day and it was only us and another young mother with her son there. He was 4,5 months old and I told Cecilia she wasn't allowed to date older boys hehe.

Other than that Toine is away all evening on IT-kickoff so I'm all by myself. But it shouldn't be any problems. I hope he has a lot of fun.

I'm trying to put Cecilia tobed now and google for recipies to make for Cecilias baptism. Thanx to the iPad I can do that at the same time!

Finally...

Blogging with the iPad now! This gives me more time to be able to blog since I can do it while breast feeding Cecilia, or when I put her to bed, or when she is grumpy and only wants to hug... And many other situations!

Today my mother and sisters came to visit because they wanted to watch "Cake Boss" that I had recorded. My mom was nice and cleaned the bathroom and the kitchen for me! And later my dad came for a quick visit after work as well.

Cecilia is sick now, she has a little cold. It's not so bad and she doesn't care much for now. In the nights she has a little trouble sleeping though. But I give her some paracetamol and then it's a little better.

Baptism

Planning for Cecilia's baptism now. The day will be sometime end of October, or beginning of November, it's not sure yet. I will know on Tuesday I think. My plans are great however so I have already started with the planning and preparations. The priest is a friend of ours and she actually speaks dutch so it will be a quite special ceremony. She was going to call the church in Rotterdam and ask them to send up papers with texts and songs in dutch. And then parts of the ceremony will be in dutch, and other parts in swedish. Also my mothers choir will sing some songs, maybe in dutch.

It looks like the guest list will be long, but I don't know exactly who will come. I already have idea's for the decorations we will have at the place where we will have the party afterwards. Idea's for how to fold the napkins, what cakes to bake, what cookies to make, what cards to send! It's going to be so much fun!

Auntie is here

My sister Yvonne is here visiting and the past few days has been really busy. We have been to Gustavsberg, where they make quality Swedish porcelain. Toine was working so I was there with Cecilia. We made her footprints on a plate. We walked around in the museum and shopped for things at the Iittala outlet.

Yesterday we had the traditional crayfish party. Some of the crayfish we actually fished ourselves this year and cooked for the first time. The result was outstanding, very delicious. We celebrated together with good friends, but sadly Cecilia was a little grumpy and cried a lot in the evening.

Today we have been shopping together (Toine was at home doing the laundry, so sweet of him). I bought some warm clothes for the autumn and winter for Cecilia, and when I was walking around in the store, carrying her in my arms, she decided to throw up and made a nice little puddle on the floor... luckily nobody saw it hehe. But then when I had picked the things I wanted and was going to pay, i accidentally dropped some things on the floor, and while I was going to pick them up, she decided to throw up again, a nice little puddle on the floor... this time everyone saw it...hehe oh well. It's not like I can do anything about it.

3 months (soon)

Today she got her first vaccination. The first vaccine goes into the first leg and is a combination against haemophilus influenzae B, diphteria, tetanus, pertussis and poliomyelitis. It hurt a little but she was happy after looking at the funny toys in the ceiling. The second vaccine goes into the other leg is for pneumococcus and that one stings bad. But as soon as I could pick her up and hug her a big she was quite happy again. Today, 2 days before she is 3 months, she was 63cm long and weighed 5710gram so everything was looking good.

Next vaccine and next meeting is when she is 5 months old.

Hehe, it's fun poking the nose.

Likes to suck on the thumb.

Doesn't like to lay on her belly but this time wasn't too bad.

Hugging all her toys and the thumb in her mouth, then she will sleep hehe.
