Kamilla is growing fast these days and there is always something new with her. She has this thing she's been doing for the last couple of days. She puts her socks on her hands. She does this when she wakes up from her nap (and at other times as well, but always after her nap). One day she woke up and called me. She had dropped her pillow on the floor. She pointed to it and said 'Oh man' in a very funny way ('oh maaaan'). Well, it is better than when she says 'Oh shit'!!!

She turned two years old last Sunday and she was sick, like the year before. We ended up cancelling her birthday party :( She was throwing up when she woke up from her nap on Sunday. On Monday she still had fever so we just cancelled it all together. We will invite people over for coffee and waffles someday soon. Perhaps next weekend?

Ása Sóley is really growing fast. She is 2 standard deviations bigger than Kamilla was!! Friday we had a check-up (9 weeks). She is 6.3 kg and 60 cm. She was born 3.7 kg and 51 cm two months ago!!! Ása Sóley is very lovable. She even laughs out loud (but only to her dad). She sleeps well at nights now. From 10 PM - 6 AM (after a nap from 9-10 PM) and drinks and wakes up again at 9 AM. She used to be colic and wouldn't sleep so well. She would wake up more often (every 3 hours) and usually stay awake for 1-2 hours in the middle of the night with gas, in great discomfort. I took her to a lady I know (María systir Kristjönu) who does cranio sacral and she got somewhat better. She ate better - before she would eat in a hurry but after the first session she started to relax while eating and taking her time. She also started to sleep better and her sleeping pattern emerged (the one described above). However she was still gassy even if she could handle it better. One day I decided to cut back on dairy because Ása Sóley always had something in her nose, like she was stuffed up. Well her nose cleared up but also her gas problems went away. So everything is much better now.
