| Such small hands |
We have had some interesting times at home so the blog has been pretty much neglected. First I was put on a sick leave because our Cutie wanted to arrive too early. For about five weeks I wasn't allowed to do anything and that almost drove me mad! Well she did decided to take a head start and arrived four weeks too early. Despite the problems I had had she did take us by surprise. My mom had been visiting us for a couple of days and two hours after I had taken her to the station, so that she could head back to Finland, I was in a hospital and being told that the baby is on its way....only hours earlier I had been wondering how should I make it through the last four weeks :D Everything went well. She was so tiny but beautiful and healthy.
As you can imagine, this has all been very exciting but at the same time tireing, fantastic, surprising, cool, new and pretty much everying possible for us. She is our first baby and after being eleven years together, just two of us and the cats, we are suddenly three. That is something!...
 |
| She was a skimpy one, as you can see, but now already double the birth size. |
 |
| Somebody had taken over the pram. |
 |
| This way they can both fit in :D |
Slowly we have gotten to know each other and the days have started to have some routine. I have been baking and cooking all kinds of things but the photos are missing. I guess we are being to busy on taking photos of her from all the different angles :D
All I can say is: thank god for the Ergobaby and the baby sling! Without them I would not be able to do anything. Some time ago we celebrated my 30th birthday. We decided to organise a party. It was both a birthday party for me but also welcoming party for Cutie. I did most of the things myself. We had cassis-chocolatemousse cake, reindeer tartles, tomatomousse tartlets, cloudberry cookies, orange-cocos chocolates, Baileys chocolates....etc. just to mention some of the things. So it was a lot to organise/bake/do but most of the time Cutie was taking it easy in her baby sing while mommy was getting her hands dirty. I did so much nice things but all the food photos are missing, unfortunately.
But I do have couple of photos of the chocolate cake I did for my sisters and of the Sunday Zopf I did when my parents-in-law where here. So here you go:

 |
| With oats, flax seeds and poppy seeds. |
 |
| I think it looks nice with the black seeds. |
 |
| This is how you do it with a baby: the small one in the baby sling while mommy is making some chocolates. |
 |
| A chcolate cake for my sweet grazy sisters who came from Finland to visit us |
 |
| The flowers are from my our garden. |
 |
| I made the base with a Sacher recipe which I got from Peter. It has almond flour in it and that makes the cake very moist. |
