Magnus & Caro's Baby

Théa is 5 months old today!

A long time has passed again since the last update, but Théa is coming along very well.
It has already passed 5 months since she came to our world, time passes quickly and Théa is growing like never before!

We went to the doctor today for a little checkup and doctor said everything was just fine with Théa, she is well withing the curves (weight and length) and she is growing according to the plan.
Her weight right now is 6670gr and she measures 62cm. We are of course very happy with that!
The doctor said that from now on we are allowed to start giving her some cooked/mashed vegetables (130gr/day). We were told to start with one vegetable and use the same for 3 days and then try another for 2 days and so on... later on we will be able to do the same with different sorts of fruits as well. Théa is now eating 210ml of milk, 4 times a day and she has a good appetite (just like before, every 3,5-4hours she has her meal). She is also sleeping whole nights, normally between 21.00 and 09.00, without interuption! We are (again) very happy with that! ;)

So what have we done since last? Well, we have had some vacation and visited family and friends in Morières (close to Avignon) and Nice. It has been very nice weather the last weeks and the temperature has been hoovering around 34-36°. It has been extremely important not only for us but for Théa to drink sufficient!

Théa's grandparents in Nice has been very happy to spend so much time with Théa and we have also been able to enjoy some time for ourselves. It is not so easy when you are new parents to find some time for just yourselves but we managed to go for a day trip to Villefranche-sur-mer and also to visit the island St.Margerite just outside Cannes. Two very nice days with bathing and sun.

Théa is very active (like always) and she is smiling alot, she has made some small efforts to laugh but just made it halfways. She is trying to speak but in her own way... yesterday we were watching TV and they showed the french flag bearer for the Olympic Games, and we got the impression Théa fell in love with him! Every time they showed him on the screen she was making big eyes and started speaking, we were laughing heavily and thought she was sooo cute! Then daddy said that she was only allowed to love him, and of course mummy and some relatives... we'll see about that in the future I guess! :)

Thèa has so far not had any problems with travelling, it does not matter if it is by car, airplane or other transportation. She is just calm and either sleeps or sits calmly in our laps. We are very happy for that and hope that the upcoming 2.40h trip by plane to Sweden will be just as good.
Last trip from Nice by plane we had forgot her dummy but she did not even complain once!!!
Now we have 1 more week before Sweden will show its face to Théa for the 1st time, here she will meet my father (her "farfar Jan") and also my brothers family (including the Swedish cousin Carl). I am sure it will be a welcome rendezvous!

Last we have some photos to show recent pictures of Théa:
