Little Wiking report

He surely looks like a wiking nowadays. :) Here's an Erik-update:

* Monday the 9th we visited our childrens nurse for measuring and weighing. Erik had grown a LOT! He measured 8880g and was 67,5 cm.
* Today, it was time for our 6-months doctors visit. As our beloved doctor expressed, he's an "exellent baby". 8970g and 67,5cm.
* Until now, Erik has made noises like "grrrrrrrrr" and, sometimes, "määää". Past saturday, the 14th of July, Erik started to say "Babababa". It is really, really cute. :)
* Erik is still a good eater and seems to like everything. He likes his baby porridge - oats in the morning and  spelt in the evenings (both ecological). He manages to eat so much more solids than Jennifer did at 6 months. Sometimes, his portions are maybe even bigger than we could tease Jenni to eat at the age of 1. Until now, feeding Erik has been a true joy.

* We used to have 3 40-years old birches in our backyard. They were absolutely beautiful, yet they made the backyard a bit more shady than we wished to. Also, the lawn got only worse and worse. We asked our neighbours and they were happy to help us to remove 2 of the birches.

Bessie is our 9-year old Owcharka/German shepherd mix. For 2 past weeks she has been really limb and we have been worrying since the usual Green-lipped mussel pill has not helped to reduce the inflammation in the arthritis troubled joint she has. Yesterday, Agne took her to the vet. She got antiinflammatory painkillers and today already it seems like we have a whole new Bessie. She is so much back to normal - curious, glad to join us and relaxed. I so hope she can stay with us for a couple of years. She is a very large dog and I know she wont become the oldest dog in the world. But we love her dearly and hope for the best.

Love to your all and thank you for following me.

  1. Erik's eye's are so stunning and Jennifer is adorable.
    Glad Bessie is doing better. I have 3 dogs (and 2 cats) that are all getting in the middle to late years. Sigh.
