Layla spent the day with her nonna so Lewis and I took the opportunity to start packing for our trip next week.

Noosa Triathlon...och nu kan Lewis dra sig upp och sta sjalv
Noosa Triathlon...and by the way, Lewis can now pull himself up and stand by himself

Igar sa la jag ner Lewis i hans sang och gick och hamtade en pyjamas till Layla. Nar jag kom tillbaka in sa stod han nojd i sin spjalsang. Jag satte ner honom igen och nar jag ater kom tillbaka in i rummet sa stod han dar igen. Sa jag satte ner honom ater igen och filmade hur han tog sig upp. Det tog ju ca 5 sekunder. Forut sa har jag bara lagt ner Lewis i sin sang och sa somnar han...men hur ska man gora nu? Jag ammade honom i var sang och sa somnade han. Sa det gick ju det med. 

Annars kom vi tillbaka igar efter 5 harliga dagar i Noosa. Vi hade sol i 2.5 dagar vilket rackte val tycker jag. Det var ju varmt anda. Greg var jatteduktig pa triatlonen men han var sa klart inte nojd for han forbattrade inte sin tid jamfort med forra aret. Sa nu vill han ha en ny DYRARE cykel. Suck. 

Snart ses vi ju och vi raknar dagar tills vi aker. Ah vad roligt det ska bli!!!



Yesterday I put Lewis in his cot and I left the room to get Layla's pjs. When I returned Lewis was standing up in the cot with a big smile on his face. This was repeated soon after so I filmed him getting up which only took him about 5 seconds. In the past I have just put Lewis down in his cot and then he has gone to sleep so I have had to come up with a new strategy. 

Got back yesterday afternoon after 5 great day up the coast. The weather was mostly good with a few days of sun. Greg did really well in the the triathlon but as he didn't improve on his time last year he was a bit disappointed although the rest of us were really impressed by his effort. Now he thinks that he has to get a more expensive bike to the one he already has. I thought it was all in the legs but he does not agree.

Soon we are off to Sweden, we are counting down the days. It will be so much fun!!!
