25 flower art work
Hannes has turned 25 a couple of days ago, so now both of us are a quarter of a century old! One of the things he got for his birthday was this flower art work from me. Beautiful, time consuming to create yet fleeting, that is so contemporary!
From my mum he got a new set of satin bed linen:
And of course, we had the obligatory birthday Princess cake!
Newborn Johannes, first eleven days baby photography. Very picture heavy!
He definitely loves me to read aloud for him, which I do every night. But then again, he falls asleep easily...
I get a lot of emails with questions about Johannes, about his eating habits and what he wears, what he likes and what he doesn’t like, about my ways with him and a lot more. Some day soon I’ll try to write all these things down and make a separate post.
Today, however, I’m posting some photos from his first days.
Johannes, 2 days old, born one week too early:
3 days old, swaddled (I used to swaddle him a lot, and still do sometimes):
5 days old (you can see more here and here):
6 days old, first day at home (you can see more in this post):
7 days old:
10 days old:
11 days old:
What a big difference in just two months if you compare these photos to the ones in the previous post!
Welcome spring
Spring has been slow to come this year, but it seems like it’s finally here. I’m out walking several hours a day and I can’t help but notice all its different signs. For Johannes it’s his first spring ever and it makes me appreciate it even more. This is him today, two and a half months exactly.

Two months as a mother for me and two months as a person for Johannes. It’s been two amazing months and even though somewhere deep inside I sort of miss the tiny newborn Johannes, of course I’m extremely happy that he’s growing fast, getting fatter and stronger every day. He knows what he likes and what he doesn’t and he’s definitely not afraid to tell me about it! These last couple of weeks he’s learned how to laugh properly, so these days he finds most things pretty funny. And for me, his laughter is the best thing I’ve ever heard, seriously.
It's too sunny!
And here are the two of us indoors, so we can actually open our eyes!
Obviously, my son looks nothing like me!
With Greger:
Greger looks even thinner than he actually is next to Johannes!
On Easter with his father, Hannes and Johannes:
FOTD: Lime Crime Carousel Gloss in Present and Uniliner in Rhyme
Today I finally have the time to make an FOTD post! The truth is that during these past few weeks I’ve hardly had the time for anything, but in a good way. I’ve been so busy enjoying my new status that I almost missed my own 25th birthday! Most likely I would have missed it if it wasn’t for my closest people who made this day really special for me. And of course, all of you guys who have sent their congratulations!
Anyway, here I’m wearing some of my new favorites that I got from Lime Crime a couple of months ago. The lipgloss is their Carousel Gloss in Present (dark berry red with lots of magenta glitter) and a golden eyeliner Uniliner in Rhyme. I think these two look pretty together.
Johannes today, 50 days old.
