Back in business.

After a week of teething and a cold Agnes is back with more energy than ever. There doesn't seem to be any limit to the amount of food she either stuff her self with or put on the floor for a later snack.
This is what the demands are an ordinary day;
Wake up 05:50, that is her personal alarm clock...
Breakfast 06:30, Agnes takes a bit more than half of an adult portion of oats with yoghurt+grandmother's apple sauce and a slice of breda. Sometimes also hardbread from her parent's plate!
Morning snack 09:00, a bottle of välling or some fruit and some cornpuffs.
Lunch 12:00, half of an adult portion of lasagna.
Afternoon snack 15:30, fruit or välling and again some puffs.
Dinner 18:00, half of an adult portion fish grating and some bread
Evening snack 19:00, a bottle of välling.

I forgot to mention, Agnes loves cheese, especially the flavory kind. She always makes sure to leave some on the floor from breakfast in case any of the meals are delayed.

I am somewhat amazed by this tremendous love for food but not surprised ... It is all genetic and I bet she will love buffe or smörgårdsbord in the future.

According to the scale at BVC this lady has now gained 5kg since she was born, and 0,8kg the past 2 weeks. That is what I call a growth spurt.

Spring at last!

After lots of waiting spring finally arrived in the very south of Sweden. To explore this a bit further we went to the grandparents place over the weekend. With a nice warm sun, sandy breach and a glittering ocean the thought of a quick dive in the sea did cross ones mind. That is until you suddenly remember that the water is probably not at the right temperature until August, if you are lucky.

Agnes loved discovering the garden. The lawn was amazing with several interesting things to chew on.

At the beach

Two weeks ago, we brought home the last boxes from my in-laws' attic. We had great help from Richard and the Ågerstam family. When everything had been collected and piled up in the garage, we could do nothing but wait for Christina and the rental van. 

Christina arrived right on time, and we had the van loaded in just minutes.

Trip to Copendenmark

Last week, I and Agnes decided to go abroad. Bus 8 took us to the central station in just over two minutes where we embarked one of the many trains crossing the bridge to Denmark. After two stops in Malmö (making this the "Malmö Metro"), it was time to pass the toll station and on to the bridge:

The boats look pretty small when traveling 50 m/160ft over the sea. This is a view you never grow tired of, even of you make the trip every day. We passed over the Finnline ferry we see leave Malmö Harbour every day.

On Danish soil and time to transfer to the driverless metro.

Just a few minutes later is was time to disembark and sign in at Statens Serum Institut, the Danish equivalent to CDC. Christina's office is located in an old barracks.

Agnes is checking out Christina's office:

After lunch, Agnes and I headed out to see what Copenhagen had to offer. Walking down the Strøget shopping street, and it so just happened that we all of a sudden found ourselves inside the Lego store.

We also had time to check out Nyhavm before we met up with Christina.

Going back over the bridge, watching the Finnline ferry on its way back to Malmö from Germany.

At the library

Malmö City Library is a fantastic library in an equally fantastic building. And best of all (according to Agnes) is the children's book section. The floor is covered with a thick, green carpet and they have hundreds of exciting books.

Easter present

Easter was great fun with all grandparents - as well as great uncle Nils-Hugo - gathered. Agnes was thrilled and it got even better when grandpa unveiled a huge parcel.

Inside was a vintage potty chair that used to belong to Christina. Of course it had been thoroughly pimped using high gloss red and silver paint.

Happy Easter!
