Sot som en karamell
Cute like a button

Det var lite regnigt idag sa mamma satte pa mig min varma lurviga pyjamas
It was a rainy and a little bit chilly so mum put on my warm fluffy pj

Jag kanner mig lite som en Tellytubby...eller en kanin - pinsamt
I feel a bit like a Tellytubby...or a fluffy rabbit - how embarrassing

Efter att vi simmade sov Layla i 3 timmar. Det regnade hela dagen sa vi lekte titt-ut.
After we went swimming, Layla slept for 3 hours! It rained almost all day so we played peek-a-boo.

Francesca & Lachlan's dop/christening

Igar sa var vi till Boonah pa dop. Bade Francesca Silvia och Lachlan Scott Kostecki doptes. Jag och Greg blev faddrar till Lachlan och Peta och Anthony (Scotts syster och man) blev faddrar till Francesca. Det var ett trevligt dop och mottagning. Kram, Agneta

Yesterday we attended Francesca, Silvia and Lachlan, Scott Kostecki's christening in Boonah. Greg and I became godparents to Lachlan and Peta and Anthony (Scott's sister and husband) became godparents to Francesca. It was a lovely day. Cheers, Agneta X

Spoilt...

My sister complained a little over the phone that I hadn't updated the blog with new photos...for days!!!! So I had to get my act together so here are some new photos of our little princess. I guess I have been a bit slack but I just ran out of steam for a bit. Anyway, here are some photos to satisfy auntie Anette and grandmum Erna (and probably Nonna Silvia's) hunger for photos of lovely Layla. Cheers, Angie X

Smaskens...jag fick en kaka for forsta gangen den dagen mamma vagde mig och insag att jag inte gatt upp i vikt pa en manad. Man branner manga kalorier nar man alar runt pa golvet.
Yummy...I got to taste a biscuit for the first time on the day my mummy weighed me and realised that I had not put on a single gram for a month. You burn lots of calories rolling around on the floor.

Tjoho, jag alskar skor!!!
Yihaa...I love shoes!!

Provar ny varm jacka. Kanske blir det tillrackligt kallt for att anvanda den snart. Fast idag var det +26 grader.
Trying out a new hoodie. Perhaps if it gets cold enough she can use it soon. Today it was +26 degrees, one can only hope.

I lordags var vi pa Christine som ar Gregs barndoms kompis brollop. Det var ett jattefint brollop en en trevlig mottagning. Layla var med i kyrkan men pa kvallen var hon hemma med farmor Silvia och hon hade varit snall och duktig. Inga problem vilket kanns skont. Kram, Agneta

On Saturday we went to Christine who is Greg's friend from school's friend. It was a really nice wedding and a great reception. Layla came to the church but stayed at home with Nonna Silvia in the evening. Layla behaved herself and slept and ate which is great. She is such a good little girl. Love, Agneta

En liten sjukling/Poor little sick Layla

I fredags var Layla lite hangig och pa kvallen sag hon ut som 7 svara ar (se foton nedan) och hostade och snorade. Sa pa lordagen gick vi till farbror doktorn (det var en farbror, inte en tant doktor for att vara politiskt korrekt) som sag ut som en Afrikansk ledare, stor och bullrig. Layla fick medicin mot sina pipiga luftror och sedan var det bara vila som gallde. Idag var vi till doktorn igen for att kolla om hon behovde fortsatta med sin medicin men det var inte nodvandigt. Nu ar hon mer eller mindre som vanligt i alla fall och det ar ju skont.

Annars sa haller hon pa att fa sin andra tand daruppe nu. Sag en liten pigg imorse. Hon ovar sig ocksa sa gott det gar pa att krypa. Hon trycker sig upp pa knana och gungar sa snart kryps det har.

Kram, Agneta

On Friday Layla was not herself and she had lots of gubby stuff coming out of her nose. She was really unwell on Saturday so we took her to the doctor and she got some medication to help her breath more easily. Went back to see a doctor today but she got the all clear which is great. She is back to her bouncy self so that is nice too. She looked really aweful when she was sick (see the below photo) the poor little thing.

Otherwise she is now getting her 2nd tooth at the top and she is busy learning how to crawl. So far she can push up on her knees and she stands there and rocks so she is not far off crawling now.

Have a good week. Cheers, Agneta X
