Katarinaās such a mamaās girl, reaches for me every time she sees me, & cries if I walk away of course. Sheās totally so ambitious to walk on her own, but she still needs to hold my hand. She loves food, and always prefers feeding herself. Sheās exploring everything. When she sees something she likes she points to it and says āooooooā and when she sees something she wants she reaches for it and says āAh! Ah!ā She waves āHiā to everyone, even our dog, sometimes even with both hands. Iāve been trying to teach her some sign language like I did with Kamila, she hasnāt started repeating the motions yet but she knows what Iām talking about. She has 6 teeth so far, and still just has her baby mohawk, but itās starting to fill in a little on the rest of her head. I see so much of myself in her. She loves going down slides, and anything fast. Sheās very interested in putting things inside bowls and cups. She screams and kicks her legs when sheās really excited. She thinks her big sister is hilarious, when they laugh together it makes my heart so full. I already see her trying to copy her big sister. The best moments are when she falls asleep laying on my chest while Iām holding her or rocking her. She lays her head on my shoulder and snuggles her face into my neck. Itās the most wonderful feeling and bond. She is growing right before my eyes and I want to slow it down so much. Sometimes I forget how big she is already and I baby her and forget to let her try things, but then she reminds me with a sound or wave of the hand that she wants to do it on her own. Can you believe she will be 1 year old in 9 days?
Our little family spent 3 days in a row at the beach in Oslo. Itās been so warm and sunny! Such a fun week itās been & itās gone by so fast! Today Andre taught Kamila how to catch some crabs š¦, I got a good laugh when one pinched him when he was showing it to me. I canāt believe I caught it in a photo. Lol. We fed the š¦ ducks at the beach, they were eating right out of our hands & Katarina would get so excited when they would come close. In the last photo, you can see my @luli.bebe backpack, itās been such a great diaper bag for everyday, travel, and also the beach. Super durable, high quality and the sand doesnāt stick to it.
