Aron is 10 months old today and his talents for exploration and demolition are getting greater and greater. Last week he took on the habit of waking up at 5 am, and be ready to play! SInce I currently am the designated hausfrau it is my duty to get out of bed and keep the little imp happy. We will try to change his sleeping pattern next week..

The first image especially is showing the talents of the cameraman, holding the camera usb cable just in front of the subject is a mark of a true professional.

Sweden is seeing the warmest winter ever, or at least in the 280 years that reliable measuring has been done. So we are using our time to get the little one as much free air and sun as possible. Here you see him at our nearest playground. He was very very tired but maybe liked it anyway.

Also as you notice I can produce movies now, pretty amazing how simple it was to configure. I’m using Kino under Ubuntu linux and transfer the video as well as control the camera digitally using firewire. Really really fun! Aron is more mobile now, and pretty soon we will have a home visit from the nurse-center that will check out our home to make sure its safe for little explorers.  Now you have to excuse me, we need to get back outdoors!

So many things are new. Aron is now eagerly exporing his surroundings, with new mobility and endless curiousity he takes on each day with the same happiness and lust for exploration.

We have just borrowed a proper DV camera so video clips are coming soon

Aron is 9 months old today! As you can see in the pictures above he can now manage a water bottle with great skill. Also yesterday he finally got his fourth tooth, the first in his upper jaw, and that means that he (and the rest of the family) will be sleeping a little better. He can now crawl and show very clearly what toys he wants to play with. The all time favorite toy is the TV remote control.. im not sure how he got that idea.

Here are some pics to get you in the proper holiday mood. The photographer had to be on constant vigilance since he can fall down at any moment. As you can see he can sit now, but he still cannot put himself in a sitting position. Other things that are happening right now is that he is trying hard to make himself understood. He has been talking for a good while now, without using any real words of course. You can tell that he knows very well the meaning of “mama” and “papa”. When we sing songs with these words in them for him you can see him smile, trying to mimic the words.

This morning I woke up by his tiny little fists hammering away at my chest while he was yelling DADADADA, a sign of affection if there ever was one.
