Sophia's surprise

sophia had quite the surprise for me when she woke up from her 2h nap.

let me put it this way - yesterday she ate an enormous amount of food. nothing came out.

now it did.

not as bad as the time my sister found her in my mom bed crawling around in it... but i have personally never seen that much poop - in my life.

and i live with a man who sometimes forget to flush.

having a toddler is amazing

The weekend

We had a nice weekend.
We bought a couch yesterday which was pretty huge.
On Saturday we spent most of the day either trying to fix things at home or looking for a couch. We bought a frame and a few other necessities.

Yesterday we spent most of the day by the pool. Aaron and kristin joined, it was her birthday and I wanted to make cupcakes but didn't have the time, so I will do it for Wednesday instead.
I will mak mini Gräddtårtor mums!

Afterwards we went to eat with memos parents, and then to Andares to go get the missing piece for Sophia's night lamp (a transformer) and complain a little about he strollers new wheel that still hasn't come.

Oh well...
Sophia is doing good. Spoiled and emotional, but happy.

Food tips

I forgot to write about what we ate last week.
Some days were a little bit boring, so I will only tell you about the successes.

The hit of the week was spicy honey chicken with lime and cilantro rice. Memo loved it, and so did I. It was amazing. (If you want the recipe, let me know).

I found Greek yoghurt, so I made chicken gyros with goats cheese and tzatziki, I loved everything but the pita bread, it was dry and boring, I will make my own next time.

And on Saturday we made amazing hamburgers.

We ate really good on Friday too, I bought meat, which we had with a goats cheese salad and guacamole, but I didn't rally have to do much.

I am super excited about what we are having today - coconut-ginger chicken.
The chicken is marinating as a I write : coconut milk, fresh ginger, cilantro, chili, coriander seeds and salt.
I will let it marinate for 3 more hours.
We will eat this with rice boiled in chicken stock.

Mums....

I can't wait to eat!

Fun hours ahead of me

No time

Time is very scarce at the Hurtado-Bjork house.
Today i have been trying to catch up on cleaning. Mopping floors and such amusing chores.

Sophia, the beast, is in her room trying to nap. Not sure how it is going, just heard her talking to herself.

Need to get my ass down stairs, start with lunch and mop the floors.

Doctors appointment yesterday, 76 cm and 10 kg
Not sure how accurate those numbera are thou.
She also had a shot.
We were also recommended a certain brand of milk - i.e. Formula.
All you swedes will be asking - why would you still be giving formula if she is eating well.
My theory about why mexicans give formula as the main source of nutrition is because they dont know how to make food that is equally good.
Only logical explanation.

Sophia eats proper food all her meals, and has done so for many months.
She eats a very varied diet, high on veggies, protein, fruit and of course carbs and fibre.
I would love to give her valling - or even formula - milk before bed time, but the one we found uses honey as sweetener - and i really dont understand why she should get the habit of drinking sweetened milk before sleeping (or anytime for that matter).

So, let me go tell her to nap - i can hear her play
