Here's all of Gabe's food for the next couple of weeks (at least; I hope!). There's beef and chicken, and turkey, cod, salmon, tilapia, mixed with every possible vegetable and herbs.. and all sorts of fruity desserts. I just realized there is no pork meal, I might make one of those. He just eats everything! What a good baby... he just knows good food when he sees it :P All organic, straight from Whole Foods!

Spring cleaning!

Phwew! We have just spent the ENTIRE weekend cleaning up our closets (trust me, it hadn't been done for years!!!) to make some room for our clothes and Gabe's stuff and we just got rid of old unnecessary junk. FINALLY!!! It feels good to get rid of crap! No more crappy boxes, no more dust, no more being scared to have a look in the closets, and even less to store our good stuff in them. 
Shad also started putting up the trims in the kitchen and upstairs, it's looking good!
In the whole process, I made 8 meals for Gabe. I was on an adrenaline rush :P
It was a VERY productive weekend, although I must say, extremely exhausting. We're happy with the result though!

She came to visit last weekend and it was so good to see her, after a year and a half, since we left Oslo. It was a short visit but a good one, we did plenty, had margaritas and apetizers at Z tejas, margaritas at Curra's, margaritas at home... :) And also a nice walk on SoCo, and lots of friends over for a late lunch in our backyard. It was awesome.

There are a gazillion turtles in Town Lake, which absolutely cracks me up. Two days ago we were walking there on a playdate when we saw these.. What brings all of them together on such a tiny spot? :)

Gabe's first swim - April 5


Gabe's first swim - April 5

We went to our first shrimp lesson this past saturday at the YMCA, along with other parent friends and babies. All 3 of us loved it, as I was expecting it, Gabe LOVED being in the pool and was very comfortable straight away. He does have some fatty fat going on to stay afloat. Let's just say he's buoyant :)
